The Huawei Honor 3C is an affordable Android smartphone, which probably ranks among the best available out there. It is designed for responsive performance with a quad-core processor and supports the use of dual SIM card.
The Design
For a relatively inexpensive smartphone, the Huawei Honor 3C does well for itself with a stylish and somewhat slim profile. The 9.2mm-thick device shows off a sleek design and plastic construction – the quality of material should not come as a surprise really.
One of the interesting things about the design of the Honor 3C is that has a replaceable cover that makes it possible buyers to personalise their own units.
Display and Camera
The Huawei Honor 3C is fitted with an impressive and brilliant display measuring 5 inches diagonally. The IPS touchscreen, boasting wide viewing angles, has an HD resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and makes for an enjoyable viewing experience with clear, bright and decently colour-rich images.
The device packs an 8-megapixel main camera with LED flash and Full HD (1080p) video recording capability. On the front is a 5-megapixel selfie shooter with features to help fine-tune selfies taken.
Power and Performance
Under the hood, the Huawei Honor 3C stuffs in a quad-core ARM processor running at speeds of up to 1.3 GHz. The chip, which is paired with 2GB of RAM, is among the most powerful ones used on budget smartphones, with this having been proven by performance comparison to some rival devices.
The Honor 3C is powered by a somewhat obsolete Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system, overlaid with Huawei’s equally outdated EmotionUI 2.0. Nevertheless, you will still able to enjoy several cool features and apps, including BBM, on the phone.
Other Features
The Huawei Honor 3C comes with onboard storage allocation of 8GB, extendable via the microSD card. It features a two SIM card slots – one supports 2G and 3G SIMs, while the second is only 2G-compatible.
The smartphone ships with a battery that could last for up to three days depending on usage. Available connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and Wi-Fi.
