Honor 3c

Display and layout

Large screen. This piece has become the key to the vast majority of terminals, regardless of whether, like this model, they are more basic terminals. Honor 3C has a screen IPS of 5 inches, ample size but is within the limits of functionality. Develops a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels and its density is 294 dots per inch. With this setting the images will be sharp and the IPS technology ensures good contrast and vivid colors.

It has a classic design, with a rectangular shape with slightly rounded corners. The back cover is made of matte plastic and comes in six different colors, to choose the one that best suits our tastes. The front is covered by glass and the frame around the screen is black on all models. Below the screen are three touch keys to go back, go to the home screen or open the menu.

Camera and multimedia

The camera also follows the same line, closer to a mid-range than an input range. Its main sensor has been manufactured by Sony and has 8 megapixels of resolution. The key piece is the lens, which has an f / 2.0 aperture to take advantage of more light and get clearer images. It also has automatic focus, face detector, HDR mode , digital zoom, geo-tagging and records videos in FullHD. At the front carries a second chamber and the tradition of the past Huawei, it has 5 - megapixel for us selfies with good quality.

The multimedia profile is what we can expect from an Android smartphone. It is compatible with the most common formats and codecs, so that we do not have problems when playing any type of file. It connects to radio stations through your tuner or the Internet, has dictation and voice recording and has an integrated player.

Power and memory

As has become customary in its mid-range mobiles, Huawei bets on Mediatek processors. In this case it is a Mediatek MTK6582, a quad-core that runs at 1.3 Ghz and is supported by 2 Gb of RAM, ensuring smooth performance without jumps. The internal memory is 8 Gb, which without being much, already surpasses most mobiles in its price range, which usually have 4 Gb of capacity. In addition, it has a slot to insert a MicroSD card and thus expand the memory - yes, to 32 GB at most, which is not bad.

Operating system and applications

How could it be otherwise, the Honor 3C comes standard with Android 4.4 KitKat, which until very recently was the most current version of Google's mobile operating system. This installment carries a performance improvement that makes everything go more fluid, some design changes and other minor news. It comes with the entire suite of Google applications integrated, which includes functions such as Gmail, Google Calendar, YouTube, Google Drive, Google Maps or Google Navigation. In addition, the terminal has the Emotion UI interface, which stands out above all for its customization possibilities, with countless themes available and also very striking animations.

Connectivity and autonomy

The Honor 3C is not a high-end, and that shows in the connection profile, specifically in the absence of 4G connectivity. If we want to connect to the Internet when we are away from home, the speed will be that offered by the 3G standard, that is, 21 Mbps. It also has WiFi Hotspot to share the connection with another computer and connects to WiFi networks to enjoy faster speed. Continuing with the wireless connections, we find a GPS antenna, Bluetooth 4.0 and DLNA connection to transmit multimedia content. The physical connections consist of a headphone jack, a MicroUSBand double SIM card slot, in this way we can carry two phone numbers on the same device.

The terminal comes equipped with a 2,300 milliamp capacity battery of which, at the moment, we do not know the autonomy. In the presentation, Huawei has indicated that the terminal is capable of saving 30% of energy, lengthening the duration. We can expect autonomy of around two days with normal use, but if we use it very intensively, it is very likely that we will have to visit the outlet every day.

Feedback

Honor offers us a proposal with mid-range features, at an entry-level price, undoubtedly a winning combination. The terminal has wide HD screen resolution, processor quad - core and Sony of 8 megapixels. It does not have a 4G connection, but it makes up for it with the dual SIM slot . We also highlight that its internal memory is 8 Gb, something very unusual in terminals of its range.
