The most outstanding of the Huawei Honor 6 Plus is dual-rear camera at the same 8MP. You can find dual-main camera on HTC M8, but this phone obviously takes many advantages. These two cameras work together to capture individual 8MP and then the software stitches them together to form an 13MP end resolution picture. Its phone have impressive low light performance, thanks to the two cameras at the back which keep lighter than a single sensor. As you can see in the picture below, this pic taken from the Huawei Honor 6 Plus is quite good.

Although there is a 8MP front-facing camera, can be great choice for selfie lovers, but it lacks of the dual camera setup. But, no need to worry, cuz the 88 degrees wide angle lens matched on it which captures much more space than traditional secondary cameras.
