Gadget review: The Huawei Honor 5C is built for performance

Build and pattern (8/10): There’s 0 distinguished about a Honor 5C detached from a aluminum-alloy behind with brushed steel finish. Contrast it with a plain front, and a interest reduces even further. But once we reason a phone, we can feel a clever essence and a tough physique that shields it. Huawei says a Honor 5C gets an all steel body, though we feel it’s a multiple of cosmetic and metal, that works to a advantage when an random dump doesn’t leave a hole (as common in phones with all-metal bodies). Full outlines for building a tough device.

Display (8/10): A 5.2-inch Full HD (1920×1080) arrangement with 423 PPI pixel firmness is frail and good to read, though during times we found a liughtness small too reduction during video playback. Nevertheless, a arrangement works opposite light conditions including in extended daylight. There are no sum supposing by Huawei on insurance for a display, though it ships with a pre-applied screenguard. But design scratches to turn some-more distinguished with time.

Battery (9/10): The Honor 5C gets a 3,000 mAh battery, that simply can final a day-and-half. For those looking for additional extract in their smartphones, a Honor 5C works beautifully. There’s no support for quick charge, though it can go from 0 to 20% in half an hour, that is not bad.

Connectivity (7/10): The Honor 5C is a twin sim phone and supports 4G LTE, 3G and 2G, however, it facilities a hybrid sim tray (which means we can use possibly one sim and a memory label or usually dual sims during a time). Also, it can bond with 4G on usually one sim during a time. There’s a micro-USB pier during a bottom and 3.5mn audio jack during a top. The other connectivity options embody Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and A-GPS, which, again relies on Wi-Fi and other networks for navigation. It gets accelerometer, vicinity sensor, ambient light sensor, and digital compass.

Hardware Performance (9/10): Huawei has packaged a latest Kirin 650 chipset with octa-core processor in a Honor 5C, and a medium 2GB RAM. The combo manages to put adult a clever performance, either it’s multitasking or gaming. We tested a phone opposite graphic-intensive games for scarcely an hour, and there was no pointer of over-heating, that is another and point. The device comes with a built-in storage of 16GB, that we feel isn’t sufficient. But afterwards we can always supplement to a storage regulating an outmost memory label (it supports upto 128GB). There’s a fingerprint sensor during a back, placed right underneath a camera. It’s quick to response and we didn’t face any issues during all. The audio peculiarity is also decent, and a speakers during a bottom put adult an considerable uncover during conversations as good as film playback.

CAMERA (8/10): Huawei has packaged an autofocus 13MP back camera with flash, and 8MP bound concentration front camera. Both cameras conduct to get decent pictures, and work good opposite light conditions and during standard with other inclination in a cost range.

Software and OS (7/10): The Honor 5C runs EMUI 4.1 on tip of Android Marshmallow 6.1. Though it is one of a most
well-designed Android OSes out there, a Emotion UI doesn’t underline some of a latest facilities accessible on a Marshmallow, including automatically syncing Wi-Fi passwords, and app information of apps commissioned on comparison phones. While a bureau apps constantly miscarry we seeking some-more permissions, a accede manger works splendidly with third-party apps.
