14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese company Huawei has just released a duo of Android smartphones in the Mainland, the Honor 3X and Honor 3C.
AndroidOS reports that Huawei Honor 3X will be available in China beginning this month for only 1700 yuan ($280 / €205), while the Honor 3C will be even cheaper at 1000 yuan ($160 / €115) outright.
Both smartphones will ship with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box and will pack powerful processors provided by MediaTek.
In addition, they come with dual-SIM support, which is a mandatory feature for emerging markets such as China and India. Unfortunately, there's no telling whether or not Huawei plans to release these affordable smartphones in other countries as well.
Specs-wise, the Honor 3X is bang for the buck. The smartphone comes with MediaTek's octa-core chipset and no less than 2GB of RAM.
Moreover, the smartphone boasts a large 5.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution.
On the back, Honor 3X sports an improved 13-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus and video recording, while in the front, there's a secondary 5-megapixel camera.
Last but not least, it offers all the usual connectivity features, including HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and microUSB. The phablet drains energy from a high-capacity 3000 mAh Li-Ion battery that has yet to be rated by Huawei.
The second smartphone announced by the Chinese handset maker, Huawei Honor 3C features a 1.3 GHz quad-core MediaTek processor and 2GB of RAM.
Honor 3C has been confirmed to sport an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing photo snapper. It comes with a slightly smaller 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution and a 2300 mAh Li-Ion battery.
Keep in mind that two versions of Huawei Honor 3C will be launched in China, one with 1GB of RAM and another with 2GB of RAM. The former will cost just 800 yuan ($130 / €95) outright.
