The highlight of Honor 6X is its dual camera setup. Unlike Huawei P9 or Honor 8, 6X does not have a secondary monochrome sensor. Instead, it comes with 12-megapixel and 2-megapixel dual configuration for the rear and an 8-megapixel front facing camera.
The dual camera setup on Honor 6X is a rather traditional one. The first sensor is a 12MP one, coupled with phase-detection capabilities, while the secondary 2MP cam serves only for acquiring depth info.
