Huawei Honor Review

(U8860) Score: 54.5 / 100

Huawei Honor is a nice Android cellphone launched many years ago, coming with a fast processing unit clocking at 1.4 GHz, a 4 inches screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

This device is equipped with a good performance 1.4 gigahertz processor, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8255 chip and 512 MB of RAM. Graphic intensive applications generally consume lots of CPU time, so the Huawei Honor has an extra 245 megahertz Adreno 205 GPU to improve overall performance. This cellphone has a mediocre 1 GB internal storage memory, which could be enough for basic users considering this device also has a slot for SD memory cards to store songs, photographs and videos.

This device is a bit heavy comparing with today standards, weighting 4.76 ounces. The Huawei Honor is quite thin and looks really nice, while it's not close to being one of the thinnest devices you can find, with a thickness of 0.43".

This cellphone has a good looking 4" screen with a 854 x 480 resolution, which makes it hard to see the pixels composing the screen. Its screen uses LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The Huawei Honor features two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front side camera. This cellphone can also shoot videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 30 frames per second. The camera also counts with flash.

This cellphone comes with a 1900 mAh mid capacity Li-Polymer battery, which is not really enough for a consuming phone like this. Huawei reports a stand by time of 380 hs and a talk time of 6.7 hours for this phone.

This cellphone offers wifi capability (although it can't be provided to other devices around, acting as a hotspot) and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA and UMTS technologies. The Huawei Honor works with a SIM card for GSM services.

This cellphone also includes a handful of useful characteristics as Bluetooth (2.1), GPS Localization and FM Radio, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

This cellphone costs around $ 255, expensive for comparing with similar phones. This cellphone is very appropiate for you if you will use it as a social phone.
