I’ve been experimenting with the Honor 6+ and it’s launcher. It’s different as it doesn’t use an app drawer and to be honest there is no reason to have one. All you need to do is have a home screen on one side for apps in folders if required.

So far the above is my created look. Below are my other screens. I have found the icons a little large for my liking but there are plenty of themes to choose from. A solution to the look and feel would be to use Nova or Google launcher but for the time being I want to experience the Honor setup.

The one aspect that did annoy me was the folder as free trials. See below.

That’s 12 apps/games. I’ve removed all but the NFC app. Fortunately you can completely uninstall them. That’s the negative.

In terms of positives there are so many little software tweaks which I will try and cover off in my main review.

Since I’ve started adding my apps and more I am now going to insert 2 sims. A 3 UK and a Vodafone sim to see how the dual sim management works.

So far this is a superb piece of kit.

So look what magically appeared today. The Honor 6+.

I’m currently setting it up and also experimenting with the camera. In my very early testing of the camera the photos look good. I’ve done some early testing against the Samsung Galaxy S6 camera and will also test it against the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact.  The results vs the S6 Edge are interesting. That’s all I can say at the moment ☺

I’ve also run AnTuTu benchmarking,  and the Honor 6+ scored 44,224 which is a little faster than my Note 4.

I’ll be a good week away from any review but will be interested if you have any questions in the meantime.
