I am a hardcore fan of Honor phones, But I was expecting a fully loaded true 4g phone. But sadly it is not a true 4g phone. It supports only VoLTE but no NVC(Native Video Calling), which is a big failure. Otherwise phone has a very good cameras, touch and top notch FP sensor which perform just like 30k phones without any fail. I never write much elaborated reviews, but this time I have been compelled(sort of) to do so in order to help my friends here in making their final purchase decision by bringing a very true and fair practical analysis.
DISPLAY QUALITY: It has a 5.5 full HD LTPS LCD display with about 403 ppi pixel density and this is one thing that caught my eye and its
surprisingly good for a budget phone with natural colour and exellent viewing angles.
It performs well outdoors under sunlight.
Thanks to the EYE COMFORT mode to reduce the eye strain.
SENSORS: Hall effect sensor, Fingerprint sensor, Proximity sensor, Ambient light sensor, eCompass, Gravity sensor.
Gyroscope sensor troubles a bit in VR.
IR BLASTER is not present in this phone.
AUDIO QUALITY: Audio quality in this phone is average and loudspeaker is decent.
No issues with phone calls.
DESIGN: Screen to body ratio is good and sides are curved .
It gives a premium feel.
PROCESSOR: It has a Android EMUI4.1 v 6.0.1 Marshmallow operating system with 2.1GHz+ 1.7GHz Kirin 655 octa core processor.
The processor perform really well in day to day usage but it trouble a bit in heavy usage.
It handles light game very well but there were few frame drops while playing heavy games.
CAMERA: It has a 12MP+2MP dual lens primary camera and 8MP front facing camera.
It uses 12MP camera for shooting pictures and 2MP for capturing depth information and really the images are awesome.
Even the front camera does a very good job.
The video recording with rear camera is quite sharp with decent colour reproduction and the footage is good.
The camera UI included lot of modes including a pro mode.
Camera is one of the best part here.
BATTERY: It has a 3340mAH lithium-polymer battery and its average but the battery backup is acceptable.
There is no heating issue.
For this pricing the phone is really good and if you are a camera lover surely you can go with this phone.
