The X6b comes with a 5200mAh battery, offering longer battery life compared to other phones in its price range.

Despite the large battery, the phone is designed to be thin, measuring at just 8.4mm thickness. With light use, the battery could last up to two days without charging, and up to 26 hours of straight online streaming.

Additionally, the phone features the 35W Honor SuperCharge Technology, capable of achieving a 20% charge from zero in just 10 minutes.

In addition to the large battery capacity, the MediaTek Helio G85 is power-efficient while still providing enough power for gaming.

The Honor RAM Turbo technology also enhances flash memory management, effectively doubling the RAM capacity.

The X6b was tested for gaming using “Honkai Impact 3rd” and “Mecha Arena” and ran both games smoothly.

The X6b’s chassis is designed to provide 360-degree protection across all six faces and four corners of the device and has received a 5-Star Drop-Resistant Quality rating from SGS. It can survive a 5-feet drop without damage.

During a media launch event held on Sept. 6, the X6b was subjected to impact tests with billiard, bowling, and soccer balls to demonstrate the durability of the device.

Finally, the 50-megapixel AI camera captures good-quality photos with features such as object recognition, smile capture, multi-frame fusion algorithm, and super night scene algorithm.
