The main objective of the Honor 6X 3G (stands for 3rd generation of wireless communication) is to offer a fairly high speed wireless communication for varied types of data, including multimedia, sound tracks, and video as well as voice. However we could say that Honor 6X 3G mobiles are developed to be used on 2G networks also.

Way-1
There is an icon on the top of the Honor6X refers if 3G network is available or not.
Way-2
To see if your Honor6X supports 3G network or not, you may use this way:
1) Dial *#06# on your phone to display Honor 6X IMEI number.
2) Explore www.imei.info, type your IMEI number and choose Check.
3) You’ll see a report. Look at the LTE section – it will display all the frequencies that are supported by your Honor 6X. 3G service works on the 2100MHz frequency, so if you see the number 2100, then your Honor6X is 3G compatible.

Note: LTE Option in mobiles settings generally refers to 4G connections.
MHz Meaning:
MHz (Megahertz) is a unit of frequency equal to one million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including mobile phone communications.
Band Meaning:
The band is an interval in the frequency domain, defined by a lower and upper values of transmission capacity over network communication systems. However, in general we are using bandwidth term to refer to the capacity of a network.
