Honor is similar to a sub-brand by Chinese phonemaker Huawei. Its latest smartphone Honor 5C, priced at Rs.10,999, is competing against some high-profile budget phones such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 (Rs.9,999 onwards) and the Lenovo Zuk Z1 (Rs.13,499).
Here is our reviews section wise:
*Design: Handy and well-built
Bringing metal to the picture can improve a phone’s build quality considerably. Honor 5C is the latest in this breed of metal-clad phones. The brushed finish on the back gives it a slightly different look from phones with plain metallic back. This also improves one’s grip over the phone. For a 5.2-inch device, it weighs 155g. Technically, that doesn’t make it a lightweight phone but we didn’t really find it heavy while using it.
*Display: Sharp and rich-looking
The 5.2-inch display has a screen resolution of 1920x1080p, which is impressive considering the screen size. The display looks bright, text looks sharp which means watching movies, gaming and the usual browsing is going to be good.
*Performance: Breezes through most tasks
Huawei is one of the few phone makers after Samsung which also makes chipsets. The Honor 5C runs on its HiSilicon Kirin 650 octa-core processor with 2GB RAM. Though we have not seen this processor type before, it doesn’t let down one bit in terms of real-world
The 3,000mAh battery delivers a day’s backup on modest use
*Camera: Consistent in most conditions
The Honor 5C packs in a surprisingly consistent 13-megapixel snapper. It was able to capture colours well in close-ups and doesn’t suffer from lighting issues in non-focus areas.
