Huawei Honor 5C Details

Huawei Honor 5C is basically the successor to the previously launched Honor 4C. The smartphone makes its mark with plenty of changes from its predecessor which makes the latest offering attractive. The device is expected to compete with the LeEco 1s, Redmi Note 3 and Lenovo Vibe K5 Plus.
Design and Display
The Honor 5C sports a metal unibody design with curved edges that fits perfectly on the palms and can be carried around easily. The body is made of aircraft-grade aluminum that makes the device lighter than the Honor 4C. Emulating the Redmi Note 3 and the LeEco 1S, the fingerprint scanner is located right below the rear imaging piece. Powered by Fingerprint Identification 2.0, the company claims that the smartphone can be unlocked in less than 0.5 seconds. On the front, the 5.2-inch Full HD IPS LCD display is combined with great viewing angles. The smartphone reproduces vivid and vibrant images which make the screen readable even in the most demanding cases.
Camera and Storage
One can capture stunning selfies and can enjoy high-quality video calling experience courtesy an 8-megapixel front-facing shooter which has a 77-degree wide-angle lens. The rear camera on the Honor 5C is 13-megapixel that has the capability of recording Full HD videos and impressive images. The LED flash located beside the back camera supports low-light imaging. You needn't worry about storage as the smartphone ships with 16GB of internal storage space that can further be expanded via a microSD card using the Hybrid SIM slot up to 128GB.
Performance and Connectivity
The Honor 5C is designed to deliver smooth and lag-free performance as the device is powered by an octa-core Kirin 650 chipset which is clocked at 2GHz. Users can also work on multiple apps simultaneously without worrying about any performance drop as the chipset is paired with 2GB RAM. It supports an array of connectivity options which include 4G, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and a microUSB 2.0 port.
Battery and Platform
The Huawei Honor 5C is fuelled by a 3,000 mAh battery that carries enough juice to keep your device powered for an entire day. On the software front, it runs the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system wrapped under Emotion UI 4.1. The Honor 5C feels like a premium smartphone thanks to its metal outfit. The device is ideal for watching videos and playing games as it comes with a big 5.2-inch display. Other attractive aspects include a fingerprint reader and an impressive camera.
