I was recently invited to an event held by Three where they were letting people know about their upcoming improvements to service and reliability. The presentation was interesting and maybe a little more of that at a later date, but what really caught my attention was the new Honour 6+.

This device is exclusive to Three and available from May 1st 2015. Running the Android OS it feels familiar and its size and weight fit comfortably in the hand. On the back of the camera is what makes this smartphone stand out, two 8MP camera lenses.

Why Two Lenses?

By taking two images and combining them the theory is that the image will be sharper and will give superior low light photography (I didn’t get a chance to test it that far however), it also means the lenses aren’t so big so they sit flush with the casing.

Set on Wide Aperture Effects the Honour 6+ takes two images simultaneously, then one can choose the point of focus from either plane, sliding a finger up and down the screen to alter the aperture setting for the ‘defocussed’ part.

Here’s a little video I shot using the phone, its a little shaky but you get the idea;

Availability

The Honour 6+ is available from Three from May 1st and as with all Three smartphones can be part of their All You Can Eat (AYCE) data plan, something I’ve come to rely on quite a bit!
