Huawei has recently introduced the low cost version of the widely popular popular Honor 3C in Pakistan. The new handset is named Honor 3C Lite, also sold as Honor Holly in some international markets.
The Dual SIM, Honor 3C Lite takes much of its design inspiration from its predecessor with a distinction of rounded corners and a curved back. It is also slightly thicker and heavier at 9.4mm and 156 grams.
Honor 3C Lite features a 5-inches screen with a resolution of 1280X720 pixels and it comes with 100% high gloss coating.
On the inside it is packed with the same Mediatek MT6582 quad-core chipset, however to reduce the cost, Honor 3C Lite has only 1GB of RAM. But now instead of 8GB it comes with 16GB storage and like always you can expand it with a microSD card.
It features a primary 8-megapixel BSI camera with F2.0 aperture and macro mode at 8cm. On the front there is a secondary 2-megapixel camera for selfies and video calling.
On the software side, Honor 3C Lite comes with Android 4.4 KitKat operating system with EMUI 2.0 on top of it. Definitely the newer operating system makes it a little fluid as compared to 4.2 Jelly Bean on Honor 3C, but I am guessing that this handset won’t get any further updates officially.
Honor 3C is priced at Rs. 17,900 in the market with one year warranty of Airlink Communication or M&P. Zong users can also get free 1GB monthly Internet with the purchase of this handset.
It may be a tough choice for potential customers as the original Honor 3C is available for 20,500 and offers more RAM and better front facing camera but lacks in storage. We will try to bring a complete review of this device very soon and a detailed comparison of both devices, if you have any queries feel free to ask in the comments section below.
