Honor 6X specs

Weight: 162g | Dimensions: 150.9 x 76.2 x 8.2 mm | Screen size: 5.5-inch | Rear camera: Dual 12MP+2MP | Front camera: 8MP | Aperture: 'Wide aperture'

Enhancements: Using night mode

While these photos may look less stunning than some of other the shots on show, it's worth remembering that the Honor 6X is a much cheaper phone than any other here, and the photographer was the brand's sales and marketing manager in the UK – and as such, the composition and camera performance should perhaps be lauded to a greater degree than with images taken professionally.

However, Phil Hall says: "There's not too much to get excited about with these shots – colors and contrast look a little flat, but it's the shots themselves that don't really jump off the screen, especially when you compare them to the iPhone 7 and Pixel images."
