Honor Malaysia also highlights that this is the first time Malaysia launches the new device along with China at the same day.
Previously, Honor Malaysia has been teasing about the Honor 6 Plus in their official site vmall and their lelong store, but no words has been given on the date of availability until yesterday announces the Honor 6 Plus and Honor 4C will start selling at 29th April 2015, 3.08PM at Vmall, Vmall official store in lelong.my and Superbuy.my
Just as rumored, the Honor 6 Plus came with a 5.5" display and will be packed with top notch hardware and a set of dual parallel 8MP camera at the rear which is capable to capture image of 13MP resolution when combined and another 8MP camera at the front for selfie. The processor of Honor 6 Plus will be handled by its latest Hisilicon Kirin 925 Octa-Core processor which clocked at 1.8GHz. Storage wise, it is packed with a 3GB RAM and a whopping 32GB Internal storage and surprisingly expandable with a microSD card up to a maximum of 128GB. The huge 3600mAh battery will be responsible to keep the phone on through the day.
The Honor 4C is a mid-range successor of the hot selling Honor 3C about a year ago, the Honor 4C overall design looks similar to the recently launched Honor 4X but with a smaller 5" display and it came with a welcome upgrade of its rear camera performance with a 2nd generation Sony 13MP camera, while the selfie camera is still handled with a 5MP camera. The choice of processor also sees some changes with a new Hisilicon Hi6220 Octa-Core processor clocked at 1.2GHz.

The battery also sees some upgrade to a bigger 2550mAh battery, but this time it is a non-removable battery, Honor claims the device is capable to last up to 50 hours of moderate use. The only let down of this device is the lack of LTE connectivity support.

Honor is planning to surprise us with the launching of Honor 6 Plus. Our all time favorite Honor 6 just reached Malaysia about 2 months ago and no one can deny this is currently one of the best options for Smartphone priced below RM1,000 with LTE connectivity and bundled with top notch hardware. But the Honor 6 Plus is rumored to have much more attractive hardware such as having a duo camera which is similar to HTC One(M8).
By adding a "Plus" is usually meant for something extra such as much superior or just simply being larger like the iPhone 6 Plus, the Honor 6 Plus is having the same approach like the iPhone 6 Plus but with more upgrades, in our opinion it should be called as Honor 7 instead due to the rumored upgrade was pretty massive.
The Honor 6 Plus is rumored to have a larger 5.5" Display, duo 8MP rear camera and a new Octa-core Kirin 925 chipset which has a higher clock speed of 1.8GHz. Now the only questions that stays in our mind is, when Honor 6 Plus will be available in Malaysia and are we getting Single SIM version like the Honor 6? Other than the "Plus" in specification wise, the price of Honor 6 Plus also had some Plus too which is rumored to be priced at 3,300CNY, about RM1,860 based on today's exchange rate.
Below are some leak shot of photos taken with the Honor 6 plus, it seems like the duo camera of Honor 6 plus works just like the duo camera effect in HTC One(M8) or some say the Refocus apps in Nokia which enable blurring the foreground or the background after picture was taken. Pricing wise, The Honor 6 Plus will definitely put some pressure on HTC.
