Honor 4C Review: Not Worth the Price

By on Email @exolete

Huawei launched the Honor 4C, mini version of the Honor 4X in India running on the company's own Kirin 620 SoC with 3G support, right at the time when 4G was booming in India. In terms of design, build and features its quite similar to its elder brother but has a lackluster display, tinny speakerphone which definitely don't justify its price. Although, performance is quite good with the Kirin 620 SoC and it doesn't heat-up in even heavy tasks or continuous gaming. But that still doesn't justify the price tag when you can easily opt for the 4G enabled Honor 4X instead.
