Huawei honor 4a

The Huawei Honor 4A is the new proposal of the Asian brand for the entry market. A terminal that comes to give a lot of war against other proposals such as the Motorola Moto E 2015. And is that the Honor 4A incorporates characteristics of a mid-range, with the price of a basic mobile. A 5-inch screen with HD resolution, a rear camera with Sony's BSI sensor or a 2 GB RAM are combined with a price that should be around 100 euros (if we take its cost in China as a reference). And all this topped off with an attractive design with metal sides and a fineness that drops below 8 millimeters.An attractive terminal that still does not know when it will make the leap to Europe. At the moment, we will tell you its main details in a thorough analysis.

Design and display

One of the strengths of the Huawei Honor 4A is its design. And it is that a first look at this terminal does not allow us to see that we are facing an input terminal. The company has opted for the white color both on its front and on the housing, along with metal sides that give the model a premium touch. At the moment its weight or its exact dimensions have not been revealed, but what we do know is that its thickness is 7.8 millimeters. A really competitive figure that has nothing to envy to the big market launches. It should also be noted that the side frames of the screen have been reduced to the maximum, to make it easier to handle this terminal with one hand.

As for the screen, it uses an IPS- type panel with a 5-inch format (the most widespread on the market) and an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. This resolution yields a density of 293 dots per inch, a sufficient level of detail to enjoy apps and games. Of course, the most demanding users may miss a higher resolution when facing high-quality movies and videos. The use of IPS technology supports bright images and excellent viewing angles of up to 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically.

Photographic camera

Within the photographic section, Honor maintains a good set of cameras (for a basic team). On the back we find a lens with a Sony BSI sensor and 8 megapixel resolution. This lens has, as expected, autofocus and flash, but above all it stands out for a good aperture angle of f / 2.0. This will allow us to take better photos when there are low light conditions, such as a poorly lit room or at dusk. In addition, we can record videos in high quality of 1080p. Meanwhile, the front camera has a resolution of 2 megapixels for sufficient performance both in video conferencing and selfies.

Memory and power

In the bowels of the Honor 4A we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 quad-core processor, with a power of 1.2 GHz per core. Although this chip alone does not offer very high performance, when combined with the 2 GB RAM we have a competitive team capable of having numerous applications open at the same time without slowing down. The internal memory amounts to 8 GB, a figure that can easily fall short if we download many large files or if we make intensive use of the camera. In this case, we have the option of including an additional MicroSD card to expand the memory or opt for an online storage system of the type of OneDrive or Dropbox.

Operating system and applications

The Honor 4A will come standard with the latest version of the Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system. The Google platform has taken a leap forward at the design level this past year, with a much more colorful interface and more agile handling. Although more than one can get so dizzy, the truth is that the handling of the system has been greatly improved with more understandable menus and with various tweaks in important tools and apps. Thus, for example, we have a new tool to switch between open apps that is very interesting. Or the camera app has been improved with a move much more agile between shooting mode and the pictures and videos from the gallery. But above all, Androidgets great through its applications. The large number of titles in its official store with names like Facebook, Twitter, Candy Crush Saga, Clash of Clans and a long etcetera will allow us to customize the team to our liking. Speaking of customization, Huawei has also looked to do its bit with its EMUI 3.1 software layer .

Connections

Within the field of connections, it should be noted that Huawei markets this phone in two variants. One of them has only 3G connectivity, while the most advanced version is also compatible with high-speed 4G networks up to 150 Mbps. Users can also use the WiFi connection at home or at a public access point to save data of the rate. Another of the strengths of the Honor 4A is the presence of a double SIM card slot. In this way, we will be able to carry two different lines in a single terminal, for example the work line and the private line. In addition, the connections are completed with Bluetooth 4.0, GPS with aGPSto locate or navigate anywhere and a MicroUSB port to charge the phone.

Autonomy, price and opinions

This terminal integrates a battery with 2,200 milliamps of which no specific data has been given. We still don't know when it will make the leap to Spain but if we take its prices in China as a reference, the 3G version could arrive for 90 euros and the 4G version for 105 euros. In short, this is a model that leaves very good impressions and that can become one of the benchmark input terminals. Its careful design with a very thin body and its good specifications make it a proposal to take into account for those who are not looking for a cutting-edge team.
