Bangalore, November 10 2014: With the Honor 6, Huawei has broken the Rs 20,000 barrier of  mobile phones with an octal processor under the belt.

What's more, the Chinese company's   Bangalore-based Indian engineers  have  created  some  clever technologies to get  maximum juice out of the 8 processing cores of its Kirin 920 chip: Only 4 cores are activated for normal usage, saving the  demand on the batteries. If you do  compute-heavy tasks like   HD gaming,  the other four cores kick in like a turbo charger.

Indian engineers have also contributed to the phone's patented Huawei’s 30% Power Saving Technology and have  added some key enhancements  its 5 megapixel front and 13 megapixel rear camera with dual LED flash and HDR mode for high definition.  You can  tweak the camera to  turn the  phone into a magnifying   glass!

There’s a Simple Home setting that lets you easily navigate through the various phone functions, removing the hassle of endless scrolling Additionally, the Honor 6 features a Do Not Disturb mode that lets you mute unwanted calls and SMS.

Weighing  just 130 grams, the 5 inch-screen   phone  running Android 4.4.2 KitKat,  comes with   3GBG RAM and 16 GB internal memory  expandable up to 64 GB. It costs Rs 19,999.
