Honor 6X Review: Dual Camera Premium Android For Less

AnTuTu’s latest benchmark returns a number of metrics ranked with scores, rather than frame rates or time to complete. We tested with the latest version of AnTuTu across all platforms including Android, iOS and even Windows Phone. AnTuTu returns four top level performance metric results that we are including here: CPU, RAM, 3D, UX (or User Experience), along with a total score.

Platform Benchmarks

The Honor 6X struggled to keep up with most of the phones we’ve recently tested. Its weakest component is likely the Mali-T830 GPU, which doesn’t seem to be giving the smartphone much graphics muscle.

Synthetic CPU Testing

Geekbench focuses on CPU performance, offering a close-up look at how the Kirin 655 Octa-Core processor handles heavily threaded workloads.

GeekBench proved to be one of the better tests for the Honor 6X, at least in the multi-core test. The Kirin 650 chip's Cortex-A53 cores provided solid performance in the multi-core test during the GeekBench benchmark. The Kirin Octa-Core SoC may not be a benchmark crusher, but it’s well suited to tasks aimed at multi-core smartphone processors.

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.
