JavaScript And Browser Testing

The Huawei Honor 6X joins a range of smartphones in these graphs, including performance beasts like the Apple iPhone 6s Plus. We chose a broad selection to illustrate the type of performance one can expect from a budget phone compared to pricier devices.

In the case of the Honor 6X, it stuck to the lower end of our chart. The phone’s performance isn’t unreasonable for budget device, but there’s no doubt here that the $250 price tag isn’t buying you a powerhouse. Not as well that the iPhone definitely skews this chart. We would offer that browser performance in general felt responsive enough in real world usage models.

Josh cut his teeth (and hands) on his first PC upgrade in 2000 and was instantly hooked on all things tech. He took a degree in English and tech writing with him to Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote CPU’s “Mad Reader Mod” cover stories from the series’ inception until becoming the publication editor for Smart Computing Magazine. A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
