Mobile phone maker and e-commerce brand Honor has launched a smartphone that claims to be the fastest 4G-enabled device on the market.

The Honor 6, which will be available only through Amazon, uses ‘Cat6’ 4G technology alongside a Full HD 5" screen, a 13MP camera and a battery that should last almost two days. The phone is priced at £249.99.

President of Honor Jeff Liu said: "We are aiming to develop Honor as the top Android brand through the ‘By the consumer, for the consumer’ philosophy’; Honor is a brand designed to meet the needs of its consumers, to give them choice, quality and freedom and, ultimately, save them money – Honor is a new lifestyle."

The focus of the phone is to provide technology to ‘digital natives’ at a competitive price, with Honor saying it wants to make high end technology available to everyone.
