Hi,
Is this subforum also covering the new HUAWEI GR5 2017, because it has the same specs as HONOR 6X?
Looks like an international rebrand to me.

Looks like it's only released in Sri Lanka for that name.

I think Bangladesh & Nepal too. Sri Lanka anyway doesn't get the Honor brand much the Honor 5X came as Huawei GR5 a with a Kirin processor instead of snapdragon 616.
Honor 6X = Huawei Mate 9 Lite.
I don't mind the brand, I just want this one fast (in the Netherlands).

Will it come as Mate 9 lite? Back in November I saw that it was rebranded as Mate 9 lite and huawei had a page for that phone on their website, but somehow that site isn't there anymore. I have a feeling they might go with the Honor branding

The specs are almost the same... Why have so many brands...

Huawei and Honor both have different strategy, even though honor is sub brand of Huawei. I have asked this same question to honor president in carnival and got a detailed response on this that cleared the doubts. There is good amount of difference as well in their pricing.
Huawei- higher cost, premium series phones, mostly in house Kirin processor, high end camera with their partnership with lieca
Honor- budget segment mostly (apart from Honor 8 and Magic)with mixup of Kirin and snapdragon processors, started shifting to high end and dual cameras in Honor 8, Magic..

Great explanation. Thanks. In China, there is even more sub brands of HUAWEI, so they categorize the market into more subs.

Is it Honor 6X only? If so, it will be in same section once custom roms are out. And it should support your phone also.

You can help the custom ROM process by adding information of your phone.

There are a lot of mobiles like that in the C2C mall. For example: aliexpress, dhgate, ebay, 365gate...
Strongly recommend that you select Huawei phones, cost-effective, fast software updates.
There are other brands: lenovo, meizu, xiaomi, zte, oppo, coolpad...
I have a LG Optimus Black but it's not a dual core processor.
What do you think about Optimus 2X? It's available in Brazil.

Although, I am using Huawei Honor U8860 but that is not a Dual Core Mobile phone. You may refer to Huawei Ascend P1.
I am not sure regarding the custom roms, but I am sure it a great phone.
don't buy huawei D1.
huawei doesn't support it well and there wouldn't be new version (4.2) for it.
Does anyone have a list of XDA developers participating in the Honor/XDA partnership? I would love to know that the project has been taken up. It's a huge deal to see another OEM have development.
I don't think there is any yet.
There is a slow way to do this:
1. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/Honor , this link will display all Honor devices fourms
2. Check one by one in ROM section to find out...
But this will not include those without a dedicated forum, like Honor 4x.

I‘m a fans of Huawei, my first smart phone is Huawei G510, at that time I don't have to much money. And now I'm using Honor 6, and I think some days later, I wil buy Honor 8 or P9.

Honor 8 is a decent phone, actually all HUAWEI 2015 and later phones are good ones. But the only issue now with HUAWEI is its own Kirin processer which has no open source/proper documentation. This closes doors to most developers and cut users from future upgrades if HUAWEI ceases to provde system update.

The new Honor + XDA partnership is exactly to address that limitation that other brands have - So developers can have full support to create ROMs

Yes, the first ROM I wanna see is CM 13.0
And if Nougat rolls out then CM 14
Any know of any news on this front?
I don't think there will be one, as Honor 8 is a budget device IMHO, but then again, who knows what Honor have in mind.
Isn't the Honor 5C more or less the P9 lite?

Nope that isn't happening. Only the 'P' Series have 'Lite' versions. Honor series don't have lite versions but however there could be Honor 8X or 8A or 8C or whatever Huawei wants to

There is no relation between Huawei and Honor models. Honor has no Lite models.

I think they're pretty close, yes. But some variants of P9 Lite have NFC, I think one variant have 3GB RAM (not sure), it has fingerprint reader and a better screen.

The 5C has NFC but no fingerprint sensor in the UK, but the Chinese models has the fingerprint sensor.
I'm sure they're the same hardware platform and customised by region. Using a different screen, software, 3 or 4GB RAM, NFC, fingerprint sensor etc.
I don't think so, from Honor's history there's no lite yet.
But who knows it may happen
i dnt think it will happen, bt am eagerly waiting for honor 6x(with dual cam)
there should be, with single cam, like iPhone series.

It might have 8A or 8C or 8i... Need to wait and see...
Let it get released in other parts of the world. Depends on the success.
Honor doesn`t have Lite models afaik because they are inexpensive allready, Huawei has some for their premium devices.
Honor 5C in Bulgaria is named as Honor 7 Lite

Hey pal you are the only one who replied; so tanx. Eventually I discovered that GT3 is GR5 mini which is the new design of P9 Lite of 2016 (let's keep it a secret" . As a PERSIAN proverb says "When A Mystery Gets Solved Gets Easy!". So just do what ever you do for rooting P9 lite for rooting GT3 - Gr5 mini.
But about your Inquiry :EVERYTHING is great exept microphone, The mic is terrible.
FingerPrint Scanner is EXTRAORDINARYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
Thanks. The Huawei is a good brand but confused about the phones model and names... Apparently it changes the names in diferentes countries...
Did you discover custom ROMs for the GT3? Have you information about official update for nougat?
This phone in my country is 70€ less than the p9 lite...
30$

As per my opinion,
It is the best phone in the range.
Using it from 2 weeks.
It feels like premium phone with full vision display and also have great selfie camera.
Bought it from FK in 16.2k.
