Conclusion

In general, Huawei Honor 4c was able to declare itself on the positive side, due to the large number of advantages at a relatively low price. We add that the smartphone is very popular.

Score 8/10 for the price and quality of execution;

Pros:

• Powerful iron. The presence of an 8 core processor with 2 GB of RAM, at a low price is a good indicator;
• Price. For $ 150 you get a powerful and high-quality smartphone;
• Cameras. Relatively good cameras, which is typical, most users primarily distinguish them;

Minuses:

• Weak battery. Battery capacity I would like to have more;
• Weight. The smartphone seems heavy;
• The firmware is constantly updated, but sometimes buggy versions come across;

The dimensions of the device are 143.3 × 71.9 × 9.1 mm. The smartphone is tall and narrow, according to many users it is convenient to hold it in your hand. In size, it can be compared with the Lenovo P70 (142 × 71.8 × 9 mm). The weight of Huawei Honor 4C is 167 grams, its “thickened” version with a capacious battery weighs the same amount - Huawei Honor 4C Pro.

In front, the Huawei Honor 4C looks like a regular smartphone: it is somewhat reminiscent of the iPhone 5 or other Huawei phones. Only the buttons stylized as virtual keys in Android 5.0, the chrome-plated metallic frame around the display and the black side frames seem noticeable. Because of this coloring, it seems that the screen is very wide and there are simply no frames around it. But it’s worth turning on the smartphone, and the magic effect of such a “trick” is dissipated - there are frames, they’re just black. The back panel of the smartphone has a special texture and is decorated with an embossed Honor logo. In addition to the logo on the back, you can see the device’s speaker, a camera lens with flash and a microphone hole. Why did you suddenly need a microphone on the cover? Perhaps for shooting video, but it looks, in our opinion, unaesthetic.

The case is assembled efficiently. According to the manufacturer, it is made of a “three-layer composite material”. The smartphone case is collapsible. There is no usual ledge on it to remove the cover. However, it can easily be hooked up anywhere, removed and put into place. In tests, such ease also had negative consequences: the lid spontaneously snapped off the case while wearing in a jeans pocket.

Screen - 4.0

The Honor 4C smartphone has a high-quality 5-inch display. It seems that it has all the components of a screen that is excellent for its price: HD-resolution (1280 × 720 pixels), IPS-matrix, oleophobic coating and manual adjustment of color balance. The pixel density is 294 per inch, which gives a clear picture if you do not find fault and do not bring the screen to your eyes. Viewing angles were average for the IPS display. At the same time, the image slightly yellow at an angle. The brightness varies from 14 cd / m2 to 397 cd / m2, for comparison, the Honor 5X can produce about 500 cd / m2. For darkness, this is excessive brightness, but in the sun the display remains readable. Oleophobic coating is weak - fingerprints remain on the display. The smartphone has a brightness sensor, and with it the auto brightness function. There is no operating mode with gloves, but the screen feels touch in thin fabric gloves. In general, the display is rather of average quality, but for 9,000 rubles - this is an excellent screen.

Camera

If you want an inexpensive smartphone with a really good camera, then Huawei Honor 4C will suit you. He has a 13 megapixel camera with autofocus, flash and image quality that matches the declared resolution. The level of detail is high, noises appear only when shooting in the dark. The camera works well with light, and in case of dimming or overexposure, it automatically turns on the HDR mode (increasing the detail of shaded and overexposed parts of the frame). The maximum photo resolution is 4208 × 3120 pixels, panoramas are available, focus settings in different areas of the frame and the mode of “decorating” faces. The main camera shoots Full HD-video (1920 × 1080 pixels) at a speed of 30 frames per second, stereo sound and tracking autofocus.

A 5 MP front camera is perfect for those who like to take selfies. The maximum resolution of photos from the front camera is 2592 × 1952 pixels, it also shoots HD-video for video calls.

Work with text - 5.0

Along with the standard Android keyboard on the Huawei Honor 4C, the Swype functional keyboard is preinstalled. Thanks to her and the large diagonal of the display on the phone, it is convenient to type texts. It supports continuous typing. On the keys there is a marking of additional characters. The only inconvenience is switching between languages \u200b\u200b- you have to hold the space bar, wait a bit and select the desired language in the pop-up list. For the keyboard, you can choose a different design and adjust its height for convenient use. If you prefer to use the standard keyboard from Google, you can select it in the language and input settings.

Internet 3.0

The Huawei Honor 4C phone has several browsers pre-installed: the standard Browser, Opera and Google Chrome. Each with its own settings and features. All three browsers have a “one-time” (for the selected size) and automatic text fitting, reduced traffic, tab synchronization, incognito mode and much more. We tested the smartphone with browsers: it copes with Internet surfing with several open tabs.

Communications - 1.0

The Huawei Honor 4C smartphone supports a standard set of interfaces: Wi-Fi (802.11 b / g / n), A-GPS along with GLONASS, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP profile. The smartphone does not have LTE support. You can note the work with two Micro-SIM cards and a Micro-USB 2.0 connector at once, it supports USB-host for connecting peripheral devices.

Multimedia - 4.2

During the tests, we highly appreciated the multimedia capabilities of the Huawei Honor 4C. It supports a large number of audio and video formats. From audio, he did not play only AC-3 and DTS file formats. Of the video formats, the phone played MP4, MPG, TS, MOV, MKV, AVI, etc., only 2K and 4K video did not start. A pleasant trifle - when taking a photo, the smartphone does not turn off the music in the player, as is often the case. At the same time, the built-in players were not rich in settings and special features.

Battery - 2.6

According to the results of our tests, we can call the operating time of Huawei Honor 4C quite low. He lasted 6 hours in a video test at maximum display brightness, which is good for his price tag. But in the player mode, it discharged quite quickly: it lasted only 41 hours (almost like the Huawei P9 Lite) and turned off. In the average mode of use (1 movie per day, an hour of play, several calls, browsing, music, etc.), we barely had a smartphone for a day. In games, the battery practically melts before our eyes - 10 minutes of playing NOVA 3 eats up 7-8% of the charge.

There are several modes of energy consumption - “normal” (games, online video), “smart” (everyday use) and “energy-saving”. In the latter mode, the image becomes black and white, the brightness decreases markedly, and only calls, SMS messages and the contact list remain available.

Performance - 2.1

The performance of the Huawei Honor 4C is good for its price tag. The smartphone is equipped with a proprietary mid-range 64-bit HiSilicon Kirin 620 processor. It has an impressive number of cores - 8 at once, but they work at a low frequency - 1.2 GHz. At the same time, the Honor 4C is equipped with 2 GB of RAM, not every budget employee boasts such characteristics. In daily use, the smartphone does not slow down, applications work quickly, there is enough RAM for browsing with several tabs open. The phone easily launches demanding games, such as NOVA 3, Modern Combat 5. In tests, they loaded quickly, but did not always go smoothly. Dead Trigger 2 was able to run only once. At the next attempts, the game simply crashed at the loading stage. In Asphalt 8, I had to lower the graphics settings. At the same time, we note that during the first launch we observed artifacts in it - layering various frames on top of each other. With subsequent launches, we were not able to repeat this “bug”.

In benchmarks, the smartphone received points typical of mid-level toppings - about 27,000 in AnTuTu and 5100 in Ice Storm Unlimited from 3DMark.

Memory - 3.5

To store data on the Huawei Honor 4C, 8 GB of memory is provided, of which only 3.3 GB is available to the user. The volume can be expanded using a microSD memory card (up to 32 GB). Hot-swappable memory cards are supported; moreover, games and applications can be installed on it.

Features

The main feature of the device is its low price - usually phones with such characteristics are one and a half times more expensive. Huawei Honor 4C smartphone runs on Android 4.4 and with its own shell EMUI 3.0. There is no update information for Android 5.0 Lollipop. The device supports 2 SIM cards. It has a removable cover, but a non-removable battery. From the preinstalled software, we note the file manager and the phone manager, which monitors applications and allows you to clean your smartphone from unnecessary files. The Huawei Honor 4C has “chips” with control: double-tap on the screen, turn off the incoming call signal by turning the smartphone over. In addition, you can launch the desired application by drawing the corresponding letter on the display off. This is already interesting: the screen recognizes four patterns - you can draw the letters C, E, M and W and one of the applications will start on the smartphone. Which one - you can choose in the settings. By default, this means a camera, browser, music and weather, respectively.

Huawei Honor 4C belongs to the class of low-cost smartphones with powerful hardware. This device was announced in April 2015. The device has an attractive design, and also looks really expensive.

Appearance and Ergonomics

The rectangular case with neatly rounded corners is made of a composite material consisting of three special layers. The entire perimeter is decorated with spectacular aluminum edging. About 76% of the total front area is occupied by a screen that is completely covered with protective glass.

A controversial decision is the presence of a black frame around the display. This makes the matrix visually even larger, but only in the off state. But the back cover got an interesting pattern in the Chinese style, resembling a silk coating. The body has undergone progressive processing and polishing. Thanks to this, you can hold the device in your hand with special comfort for a very long time.

It is worth highlighting on the back side a separate metal block where the camera is located along with the flash. Dimensions Huawei Honor 4C: height - 143.3 mm, thickness - 8.8 mm, width - 72 mm, weight - 162 g. Case color - gold, white, black.

Display

The smartphone is equipped with a fairly standard for its level 5-inch screen with an IPS matrix. The resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels for such a diagonal was quite enough. As for the image, it is surprisingly high quality. The display got a juicy color palette, as well as a solid supply of brightness, so as not to fade in the sun. There are also manual settings where not only brightness is adjusted, but also color temperature.

Iron and performance

Honor 4C is running Android 4.4. This operating system is highly modified using the EMUI 3.0 shell. The hardware base consists of a Kirin 620 processor (eight cores, a clock frequency of 1200 MHz), 2 GB of RAM, a Mali-450 MP4 graphics accelerator and 8 GB of internal memory. There is the possibility of expanding free space up to 32 GB (MicroSD).

In all everyday tasks, the gadget behaves very well. Applications and the interface do not slow down, there are no slowdowns. In AnTuTu (version 5.7) Honor 4C is gaining about 31,000 points. Demanding games are also launched, but the number of frames is not always happy. It is important that the processor practically does not heat up during operation.

Communication and sound

The sound capabilities of Huawei Honor 4C are impressive, although the device belongs to the budget segment. There is a surround sound system DTS, as well as a multimedia speaker with a good supply of volume. A microphone with a unique noise reduction system makes the user's voice clear and crisp. The interlocutor is also clearly audible. At the same time, support for two SIM cards compares this smartphone favorably. The device can work only in 3G and 2G networks.

Camera

The Honor 4C has a 13-megapixel main camera with a diode flash and aperture of 2.0. There is a rich set of settings, among which there is the popular HDR mode, as well as various decorations. You can change the focus point. In this case, the camera starts really fast. The pictures themselves are instantly taken. In low light, noises are immediately visible, and during the day the photos are of very good quality. The front 5-megapixel camera has a wide angle, so it captures more objects in the frame.

conclusions

For 10,000 rubles, the Honor 4C is an excellent budget option, which is suitable for everyone. It is worth noting that many other smartphones with similar fillings are several times more expensive. The kit includes a charger, instructions, USB cable and warranty.

Pros:

• Fast and high-quality interface.
• High performance.
• Good cameras.
• Nice and clear sound.
• Great display.

Minuses:

• Missing LTE.
• Not enough internal memory.

Video reviews

The main “feature” of Huawei Honor 4C Pro, announced in early April 2016, was a 4000 mAh high-capacity battery. At the same time, the smartphone itself belongs to the budget segment. Does this device have other interesting features?

Appearance and Ergonomics

The manufacturer did not think long about creating a design for the Honor 4C Pro, limiting itself to its ordinary appearance. Therefore, the gadget turned out to be completely nondescript. The only interesting point is the mirror effect on the rear panel. Due to light, the body texture shimmers somewhat. Obviously, such a plastic cover received a complex pattern, which should imitate the properties of the metal. Around the perimeter of the device is a metal frame.

“Thanks to” a powerful battery, the thickness of the smartphone has increased to 9.7 mm compared to its predecessor Honor 4C. The device is a bit heavy, but it’s a matter of taste, since the 160-gram long-liver still doesn’t pass any facets. There are no navigation buttons on the front because they are virtual. Possible colors of the Honor 4C Pro case: gold, black and white.

Display

The quality of the display was better than expected from the model of this segment. The five-inch display got the classic HD resolution for today (1280 by 720 pixels), as well as an IPS matrix with habitually good viewing angles. The top of the screen is covered with tempered mineral glass with a rather effective oleophobic coating. Brightness is adjusted manually or automatically. It is also possible to change the color temperature by choosing cold or warm tones. In the sun, the display lacks a margin of brightness, but the rest of the picture is quite saturated and contrasting.

Iron and performance

Do not expect something supernatural in terms of speed from the Huawei Honor 4C Pro. This is the most common budget solution with the MediaTek MT6735 chip on board. This processor is 64-bit, and its four Cortex-A53 cores can operate at a maximum frequency of 1300 MHz for themselves. Graphics involved in the accelerator Mali-T720, supporting OpenCL 1.2, as well as OpenGL ES 3.0. Such an economical chip is gaining 33,000 points in AnTuTu, which is not enough by modern standards. Ice Storm Unlimited test showed a result of 4750 points. Of course, you can play on this smartphone, but you don’t have to rely on smoothness and beautiful graphics.

The user can count on 2 GB of RAM and already 16 GB of free space for their own files, of which about 10-11 GB are actually available. With the help of microSD cards, the memory is significantly expanded up to 128 GB. Managed by Huawei Honor 4C Pro based on Android 5.1 OS. The EMUI 3.1 Lite shell is pulled onto this popular platform, featuring high speed and an attractive menu design.

Communication and sound

The smartphone boasts the sound of music in headphones with powerful bass and volume margin. But purity and detail are still not enough. But the multimedia speaker was the simplest, and its volume level leaves much to be desired. The speaker is not questionable, because the interlocutor is heard perfectly.

Honor 4C Pro supports Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n (2400 MHz), Bluetooth 4.0 + EDR, Wi-Fi Direct. The smartphone operates in LTE (1, 3, 7), 2G, 3G networks. You can use two microSIM at once.

Camera

The budget model from Huawei has a 13-megapixel camera with a BSI OV sensor and aperture 2.0. The lens itself consists of five separate elements. The module is protected by a special coating that eliminates fingerprints. Of the features of the camera, it is worth noting fast shooting in 0.8 seconds, panorama mode, voice control and burst shooting. There is also a standard 5-megapixel front camera.

conclusions

Huawei Honor 4C Pro relies on a long time. Its appearance does not stand out, and the filling was the most ordinary. At the same time, this smartphone for 13,000 rubles is a good choice for unpretentious users.

Pros:

• Battery.
• Screen.
• Camera.
• Price.

Minuses:

• External speaker.
• Design.

Review of Huawei Honor 4C. Huawei is actively launching mobile phones under its Honor brand name. Although these phones were aimed at average and professional users, the Honor 4C is priced from 7,990 to 11,389 rubles and is intended for those considering a multifunctional phone for less than 12,000 rubles.

After reviewing the Huawei Honor 4C, we’ll see if the phone is worth the price requested by the seller.

Build and Design: 7/10

When you look at the Huawei Honor 4C for the first time, you will notice that he took inspiration from his older brother - Honor 4X. The Honor 4C has similar design elements, such as a textured plastic removable cover, the same camera position, similar flat edges, and so on.

The volume knob and power / standby buttons are located on the right side.

On top is a 3.5mm audio jack.

Below is a USB connector.

When you open the back cover, you will get access to a dual SIM card and microSD card slots. Although the back cover is removable, there is no battery.

The device has a thickness of 8.8 mm and weighs 162 grams.

The overall build quality is good, and the engraved “honor” logo on the back and the metal rim around the front panel add a bit of elegance to the device.

Surprisingly, in my opinion, the snow-white model looks more attractive than the same in black.

Price Huawei Honor 4C

Below we have selected stores where you can buy this smartphone:

Honor 4C

Functionality: 6.5 / 10

Like the older brother, the Honor 6 Plus, the Honor 4C is also equipped with a HiSilicon Kirin chip set.

The Kirin 620 system uses a 64-bit Cortex A53 processor with a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz and a Mali T450 GPU on the chip.

The phone supports 4G LTE. Honor 4C has a 5-inch HD display.

The Huawei Honor 4C comes with 8 GB of memory, of which you only have access to 3.64 GB. Needless to say, you will need to spend money on a microSD card.

The connection panel has support for two 3G SIM cards. In addition, you get Wi-Fi 802.11n, Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS / GLONASS.

Software: 7/10

Huawei Honor 4C comes with Emotion UI 3.0 on top of the Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system. Emotion UI 3.0 also does not have an application bar.

Among the proprietary applications are Themes and Phone Manager, which have features such as a phone accelerator, spam filter, power saving, traffic management program, notification manager, application blocking and so on.

There are many applications in the “Tool” folder, such as “Mirror”, “Magnifier”, “Flashlight”, “Notepad”, “Voice Recorder”, “FM Radio”, “Backup” and so on.

Using Themes application, as in the case of Cyanogen OS on OnePlus One, you can configure fonts, wallpapers, transition screen locks, home wallpapers - create your own theme from several themes.

On the lock screen there is a slider at the base, which when picked up gives you quick access to applications such as weather, voice recorder, calculator, flashlight and camera.

Like Xiaomi MIUI, the notification box contains two sections - “Notifications and shortcuts”.

As the name implies, shortcuts allow you to access quick menus such as Bluetooth, brightness settings, auto-rotate, settings, etc., which can be reordered according to your preferences.

The notification tab displays notifications in the desired timeline of the user interface.

The settings menu is convenient and easy to manage.

Display: 6.5 / 10

Huawei Honor 4C comes with a 5-inch 1280 x 720 pixel display.

Waiting for an HD display in this price range became the norm, and the Honor 4C did not disappoint. The phone has a pixel density of 294 pixels per inch, which is a pretty decent display.

The display is bright and clear. The display also has an image processing system (IPS) panel, so the viewing angles are great, but there is no Corning Gorilla Glass protection.

The display has a general blue tint, which is noteworthy.

Watching movies on the display is enjoyable, and there is no perceptible distortion of the backlight only if you are not looking at an angle.

Productivity: 6/10

The eight-core processor, supporting Kirin 620 SoC technology paired with 2 GB of RAM, ensures uninterrupted operation of the phone. However, the multifunctional soft key did not respond many times and we had to restart the phone.

Heating was also noticed, but it was minimal.

The call quality is loud and clear, but the same cannot be said for the dynamics.

The sound volume is not so high, but the quality is clearly average. So you will definitely need a pair of good headphones to enjoy the sound.

The benchmark performance is comparable to the performance on Snapdragon 410 SoC sports phones.

Camera: 6/10

The Huawei Honor 4C fits a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera.

The rear camera contains a Sony BSI sensor and comes with an f / 2.0 aperture lens. The user interface of the camera application is similar to the one we saw on the Honor 4X, as well as on the Honor 6 Plus.

You are offered three main modes: Beauty, Photo and Video. When you click the Options button, you get features such as Panorama, HDR, Audio Recording, Best Photo, Full, and Watermarks.

It also allows you to take a quick shot while holding down the volume down button.

You can also adjust the ISO and white balance.

Images of daylight are good and the colors look natural, but, as noted in Honor 4X, sharpness is absent in most indicators. There was no unnecessary image processing. Focus was fast in the daytime, and chromatic distortion was well controlled.

HDR and low light images are not impressive, but good enough for sharing on mobile devices.

There is a 5-megapixel front camera that allows you to click decent pictures.

There is also a camcorder that allows you to shoot video in Full HD.

Battery Life: 7/10

The Honor 4C comes with a 2.550 mAh non-removable lithium-ion battery. With regular use, it will last up to one day, but if you are fond of games requiring high power, the battery will drain before your work day ends.

A review of the Huawei Honor 4C showed that it is a good phone, but there are many others in this price range.

You will have decent battery life, a good camera, good performance at a price of 7,990 to 11,389 rubles.

The only sore point in the Honor 4C is the 8GB internal storage, which gives you a little less than 4 GB to use. Therefore, it is also necessary to consider investments in a separate microSD card, which will increase the price of the total purchase.

All this gives him fierce competition with Yu Yureka, Lenovo A6000 Plus, and for 10 990 rubles you can even get Huawei Honor 4X.

Therefore, take a look at other phones before investing in this model.
