Announced back in June, the Huawei Honor 6 is expected to be released in the Philippines sometime in December just in time for the Christmas season.
a source, close to the Chinese company has shared that the Honor 6 will come in two variants — a dual-SIM, dual LTE with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage and another single-SIM variant with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
What’s being planned for Philippine release is the single-SIM 2GB/16GB variant with a target price point of about Php13,990 or Php14,990. However, there might be a chance that the dual-LTE, 3GB/32GB variant (similar to the Mate 7) will be released instead due to better positioning and demand.

Updated: Lazada is listing the 3GB RAM, dual LTE variant on their site for Php17,649 {see here}.
Talked with a Huawei purchasing officer (well that’s what he said over the phone). Only the single SIM variant was on the list. We might not see the light of dual SIM variant being release here. *sigh…*
