Simple design in various colors
The Honor 5A is a simple phone, made of plastic, with a metallic line that borders the entire frame, and that gives it a quite elegant appearance. It will be available in various colors, with gold or turquoise being the most striking. It can also be achieved in black or white. We cannot say that it is too heavy or thick a device. Its exact measurements are: 154.3í — 77.1í — 8.45 mm and its weight is 168 grams. As for the panel, the new Honor phone mounts a large screen, 5.5 inches, which places it in the phablet category. Its resolution is HD (1280 x 720 pixels) and the technology used is IPS.
Average power for a low cost phone
Taking into account that it will go on sale in China for less than 100 euros, one may think that in the performance section it will not stand out too much. Nothing to see. The Honor 5A integrates a processor that is present in some of the company's mid-range. It is a Kirin 620 eight - core self - made with the GPU 450. Mali also be a version with Snapdragon 617 eight - core and GPU Andreno 405. In both cases the RAM used is 2 GB storage capacity is 16 GB, expandable through the use of MicroSD type cards.
Cameras at the height of a mid-range
In the photographic section, the Honor 5A also behaves like a mid-range phone. While the rear camera has a 13-megapixel Sony sensor with LED flash and f2./0 aperture, the front camera mounts an 8-megapixel Sony sensor, also with f / 2.0 aperture. Although it is not a set comparable to that of some of the current high-end ranges, it will come in handy to get us out of a hurry and take selfies at an acceptable quality.
Capacity for two SIM cards
The Honor 5A is a DualSIM device, which means that we can insert two cards from two different operators, or even the same one, to use two different numbers, for example one for work and another for personal use. In the connection section, the device has a wide range of options: access to high-speed 4G networks, WiFi 802.11 b / g / n, Bluetooth 4.0 and GPS. In this case, it does not include a fingerprint reader, a function in high demand today.
3,100 mAh battery
In the battery section, the Honor 5A comes out ahead. The phone equips a 3,100 mAh, which should perfectly withstand a whole day, especially if we take into account its benefits. The device will hit the Asian market (to China for now) on June 17 with Android 6.0 Marhsmallow under the Emotion UI 4.1 customization layer .
