Huawei has recently announced a new smartphone in its Honor smartphone series, which is comparatively cheap in price, but does not compromise in the specs- the Huawei Honor 4 Play. The phone has LTE support which is its biggest plus point, and as of other specs, they are the mid-range ones.
While discussing about the specifications of the device, it it features a 5-inch HD (720 x 1280) pixels capacitive display, which has a pixel density of 294 ppi. The physical dimensions and weight are not yet revealed, but we can expect it to be slim phone from the picture. The phone will have 8 GB internal memory, with an option of expandable storage via microSD card. It has 1 GB RAM, and for the processing power, there will be a Qualcomm MSM8916 Snapdragon 410 chipset complied with a Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and an Adreno 330 GPU for gaming and graphics. For the photography and videography options, this smartphone will have a 8 MP primary camera with autofocus and LED Flash, and a 2 MP secondary camera for video calls and selfies. The juice will be provided by a Li-Ion 2,000 mAh battery, and we are yet to see how it works in this powerful camera phone. For the connectivity options, there will be LTE support, microUSB v2.0, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi and NFC. It will run on Android 4.2.2 JellyBean operating system which is quite old as most of the mid-rangers (even the low-end devices too) are out on the KitKat, and we can not even expect it to get a major update as Huawei is not actually good at it.
The Huawei Honor 4 Play is a dual sim phone. And for the price point, it is already on sale in Chine for the price of 799 yuan (which turns out to be around $130 or €101 at the current exchange rates). This is real cheap, considering the specs of the phone, and with this price, if it is released worldwide in near future, it is sure to be a good hit even though it has a year old Operating System.
