14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese handset maker Huawei has just introduced the Honor and Ideos X5 Pro Android smartphones in the India.
Both smartphones are expected to hit shelves within the next few days at India’s leading retailers like Reliance Digital, Croma, online channels Flipkart, Tradus, Letsbuy and in multi-brand outlets in the country.
Customers will be able to purchase the Huawei Honor for Rs 19,990 (390 USD or 295 EUR) outright, while the Huawei Ideos X5 Pro is priced at only Rs 13,800 (270 USD or 205 EUR) on no-term.
Both smartphones are powered by Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system, but at least one of them, the Huawei Honor will be getting an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade by the end of the year.
It's been around four months since Huawei Honor made its debut on the market, so we already know everything there is to know about the phone's specs sheet.
To recap, the Honor is equipped with a 1.4 GHz single-core processor, 1GB of internal memory, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of ROM and microSD card slot for memory expansion (up to 32GB).
However, the Ideos X5 Pro is an entirely new device, which has just been introduced on the market. By the look of it this is a slightly improved version of the old Huawei Ideos X5, which was released exactly one year ago.
Huawei Ideos X5 Pro comes with a 1 GHz single-core processor, 16GB cloud space, a decent 3.8-inch capacitive touchscreen display, a 5-megapixel rear photo snapper, and a 1500 mAh Li-Ion battery.
“What is the use of a smartphone, if you need to charge it once or twice a day? Absence of features and poor battery life are the top two reasons for Indian consumers to upgrade their smartphones. With industry leading features and superior technology in sync with Huawei’s brand philosophy of “Why Wait”, Huawei Honor raises the bar of smartphone experience,” said Anand Narang, marketing director at Huawei Devices.
