14 DAY TRIAL // Chinese handset maker Huawei has recently introduced its flagship smartphones, the P9 and P9 Plus, but new products are about to hit shelves in the not-so-distant future.
The unannounced Huawei Honor 5C has just been spotted at TENAA, the Chinese regulatory commission. Since it’s been certified, we expect it to be officially unveiled in the next couple of weeks, possibly by the end of April.
The sequel to the Honor 4C, which was released last year on April 28, has a big chance of going official around the same date.
According to TENAA, Huawei Honor 5C is a mid-range device that will ship with Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system right out of the box. Huawei’s Emotion UI will run on top of the new OS, so those familiar with the user interface will feel at home on the Honor 5C.
Hardware-wise, the Honor 5C will come equipped with a more than decent 64-bit octa-core Kirin 650 processor, coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory, which can be expanded up to 64GB via microSD card slot for memory expansion.
Great cameras for a mid-range handset, premium design
Huawei’s mid-range smartphone sports a 5.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution. It will also pack a 13-megapixel photo snapper on the back, which features autofocus, LED flash, and video recording. An 8-megapixel front-facing camera will be included as well.
There is no information on the battery powering the Huawei Honor 5C, but we know for sure the smartphone will pack a fingerprint scanner on the back side.
When it comes to design, Huawei has tried to give the Honor 5C a premium look by adding a metal-looking finish, at least on the back.
We’re still waiting for more details on the smartphone’s price and availability to emerge online, so stay tuned for updates on the matter. Potential customers should know that Huawei might launch a slightly improved version of the Honor 5C, which is supposed to include 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage.
