Honor X6d Launches As One of the Cheapest Dimensity 6300 Phones With 5G

Honor has introduced a new device called the Honor X6d, which closely resembles the Play 60A launched in China at the end of last year. It is now one of the cheapest devices powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip.

While largely similar to the Play 60A, the X6d includes a few small changes. It also appears to be linked to another name, as a recent GCF certification lists the same model number, NLA-NX1, under the name Honor 500 Smart.

Design and Display

The Honor X6d features a 6.75-inch LCD with a 720p+ resolution. The specifications listed by the retailer do not mention a fingerprint scanner. If present, it is expected to be side-mounted. The device is available in two color options: Midnight Black and Ocean Cyan.

Internals and Software

The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, a 6nm processor that includes a built-in 5G modem. It comes with 4GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. There is no information available regarding storage expansion.

The Honor X6d runs Android 15 out of the box, likely with MagicOS layered on top.

Cameras

The Honor X6d includes a single rear camera with a 50MP sensor and an f/2.0 aperture. This is an upgrade over the Play 60A, which features a 13MP f/2.2 rear camera.

The rear camera supports video recording at up to 1080p at 30 frames per second. On the front, the device retains the same 5MP selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture.

Battery and Pricing

The Honor X6d is equipped with a 5,260 mAh battery. The Play 60A, by comparison, lists a 5,300 mAh battery. The small difference suggests the two devices may use the same battery with slightly different rated capacities.

In the UAE, the phone is listed at AED 509, which converts to approximately $138.
