With the fast growing number of consumers buying smart phones today, it’s been a big challenge for every other mobile manufacturer to cope up with the market demand and to fulfill the same accordingly. Since consumers are very choosy and they are ought to migrate on to another smart phone within no time companies are forced to offer better and worthy products on decent pricing at equal intervals. In such a scenario two companies have recently launched their flagship phones which not only offer the best hardware and software in the class but also comes at a reasonable price.

OnePlus 5 came with their new flagship device – OnePlus 5 and Huawei launched Honor 8 pro at around the same pricing. So without further adieu let’s begin with the OnePlus 5 Vs Honor 8 Pro comparison which might help you to choose your pick.

OnePlus 5 Vs Honor 8 Pro: Build Quality

OnePlus 5 no doubt comes with an outstanding build quality which feels immensely comfortable while gripping. Allegations are flooded with the design to be inspired from the iPhone 7 Plus & Opp R11 but let’s just keep that aside and discuss further. With 7.3 mm thickness and overall weight of 153 gram, the OnePlus is an ideal deal for all those who like power combined with looks and design.

At the same time Honor 8 Pro also resembles ‘A’ class design aspect which outshines the OnePlus 5 with 7 mm thickness but hikes the weight to 184 gram which is totally justified in the battery department.

OnePlus 5 Vs Honor 8 Pro: Display

The display on the OnePlus 5 is a 5.5-inch optic AMOLED display which sports a screen resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels which hasn’t changed since One Plus 3. Over the top, you have Corning Gorilla Glass 5 for extra protection and you get 401 pixels per inch which is pretty good when media is to be consumed. Output produced have not changed and is similar to the same on the OnePlus 3T.

Honor 8 Pro comes with 5.7 inch LTPS IPS LCD display which features a screen resolution of 1440 x 2560 pixels along with 501 PPI as the pixel count. With this quality of the display, Honor 8 pro really nailed this department and really kills the OnePlus 5 when both the displays are compared. No doubt since the pixel count is large, quality of media consumed is out rightly the best in the class. Colors are vibrant, crisp and vivid. Pictures, video or even gaming can make the best use of the display with such a screen resolution and pixel count.

OnePlus 5 Vs Honor 8 Pro: Processor & Memory

OnePlus 5 has got the mighty Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 chipset on an Octa Core CPU clocked at 2.45 GHz along with Adreno 540 GPU. It comes with 6GB/64GB & 8GB/128GB memory option to choose from. With this combination, OnePlus 5 becomes a beast when multi tasking, heavy gaming or even consuming super HD videos are concerned. No matter what you throw at this, it can very smoothly manage everything.

Honor 8 pro, on the other hand, sports HiSilicon Kirin 960 chipset on an Octa Core CPU clocked at 2.4 GHz. It comes with 4/6GB RAM & 64 GB internal storage options to choose from. Multitasking, heavy gaming and even consumption of videos are an ease on the device. Heavy games like the Modern Combat, Asphalt 8 & real racing can be played on high settings with no frame drop what so ever. Video playback of high quality renders real life colours and quality.

OnePlus 5 Vs Honor 8 Pro: Camera

The camera on the OnePlus 5 is a dual camera setup with 16 MP first sensor and 20 MP second shooter having f/1.7 and f/2.6 aperture with Dual LED Flash respectively. The quality of the photos and video shot are average and do only what is required from a flagship. Biggest down side of the OnePlus 5 camera is with the absence of OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and the presence of EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) which really does not provide any stabilisation when recording HD videos or 4K video. Videos glitters a lot and lack of stabilisation from a dedicated hardware is missing. Portrait shot on the rear camera does wonders with its bokeh effect. An important point to be noted is that pictures turn out to be well lit up and vibrant when proper lighting sources are found and do a great job when there’s sufficient lighting. However, low light performance does lack quality with a bit of noise in the final output of the camera. The rear camera provides good color reproduction and excellent quality of detailing the pictures being shot.

The front facing camera is 16 MP shooter with f/2.0 aperture. Pictures shot are good and same on the OnePlus 3T. Videos shot are pretty stable and do get the job done, no issues here.

Whereas, on the Honor 8 Pro you again get a dual camera setup having a dual 12 MP shooter with f/2.2 aperture. One sensor is a monochrome sensor whereas the other one is a normal RGB sensor. With normal lighting, the pictures turn out with good quality detailing and colors reproduction is satisfactory. Noise level on the pictures is low and cannot be traced out until looked up on. Dynamic range and exposure level handling on the camera is spectacular and worthy enough. OIS is present on this setup and does its job adequately.

The front facing camera is a 8 MP shooter with f/2.0 aperture and is capable of handling 1080p video perfectly. Check out the following video for a detailed comparison of the cameras in both these phones.

OnePlus 5 Vs Honor 8 Pro: Battery and Other Features

The battery on the OnePlus 5 is slightly lower than the on the OnePlus 3T with 3300 mAh battery whereas on the Honor Pro 8 you get a mammoth of 4000 mAh battery which provides ample backup throughout the day.

OnePlus 5 comes with Type C 1.0 USB port for data syncing and charging which does support dash charging 2.0 and it’s really fast. Gets us 95 percent of charge within 50 mins from a 5 percent start. Also, the finger print sensor is on the front and it’s again really faster when unlocking the device. Comes with WLAN, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC, Radio. Sensors equipped are the accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass.

You get Midnight black and Slate grey colours to choose from.

Honour 8 Pro again comes with Type C 1.0 USB port for data syncing and charging which also supports efficient fast charging indeed. Finger print sensor is rear mounted coupled with the accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass. Connectivity options includes WLAN, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, NFC, Infrared Port, Radio.

You get to choose from Pearl White, Midnight Black, and Navy Blue colors.

OnePlus 5 Vs Honor 8 Pro: Pricing

One Plus is being exclusively sold on Amazon without invitation for Rs. 32,999 for the 6GB/64 GB model and Rs. 37,999 for the 8GB/128GB model.

Huawei Honor 8 Pro is being sold on Amazon for Rs. 29,999 for the 6GB/128 GB model.

Conclusion

Prima Facie Honor 8 Pro beats the OnePlus 5 on almost every ground mentioned above. Photos and videos shot on the OnePlus 5 are a bit on the winning side though since the Honor 8 Pro camera on majority could not compete under this category.

Battery backup is something Honor 8 Pro bags in the deal but does hike up the weight with almost 30 grams in total and thickness is .3 mm thinner than on the OnePlus 5.

The display is primarily superior on the Honor 8 Pro which is no doubt the king here when media consumption is considered whether it’s a high-end game, 4k videos playback, everything just looks so real, vivid, vibrant and crispier than the OnePlus 5.

Processor and the memory are almost equivalent but OnePlus 5 outshines here with the Snapdragon 835 chipset and 8 GB of RAM. Performance and speed are notably visible with the OnePlus 5 indeed.

Camera though is superior on the OnePlus 5 but the presence of OIS on the Honor 8 Pro would definitely be a reason for consumers to choose the Honor 8 pro over the OnePlus 5.

Overall if we were supposed to buy a smartphone, we would really bet on the Honor 8 Pro for the display, battery size, and superb build quality, and One Plus 5 would have been chosen for the looks, of course, more RAM, and camera quality. But then it’s totally up to you people what to choose but we hope the above differentiation would really add up to your decision making for the next purchase.

The past few weeks have been fairly busy with rumors and leaks, along with a few launches as well (like the HTC U11 or the Moto C Plus or even the OPPO A77). But this week, things are going to be even busier, as a number of Chinese manufacturers have scheduled multiple events. The first event of the week kicks off on Tuesday, May 23 and the events continue until Friday, May 26. So, you should expect a whole bunch of new and interesting products in this week. Note that the week will be dominated by Huawei and Huawei’s subsidiary, Honor.

Below are the 7 main events scheduled for this week.

May 23

1. New Honor Products:

Huawei’s Honor is going to kick off this week’s launch spree with not one but four new products. We had already reported about the four product launches this week and now, let’s try to figure out what they could be.

a. Honor 6A

Honor seems to be done with top-tier flagship launches for the first half of 2017. And with Honor 9 expected to launch around June end, it doesn’t make sense for the brand to release a powerful device this month. Instead, we can expect an entry-level device like the Huawei Honor 6A at Tuesday’s launch event. If you remember, a new Honor branded device with low-end specs passed through TENAA earlier this month. The phone is believed to be the successor to the Honor 5A launched about a year back, most likely called as the Honor 6A. TENAA reveals the specs to be entry-level, like a 5-inch 720p screen, 3GB RAM, octa-core chip and Android Nougat.

b. Honor Wearable / Watch

The second product at the event could be a new Honor wearable, like the successor to the Honor Band A1 launched in May last year or the Honor Watch S1 which was launched in October in 2016. So, you can expect the company to announce a new Honor Band A2 or Honor Watch S2 wearable.

c. Honor Pad 3

The third product most likely would be a new tablet, and it should be the recently certified Honor Pad 3. The new tablet should come with an all-metal body and an 8-inch 1280 x 800 pixel display. Inside, it comes with a quad-core chip, 4GB RAM, and a 4650mAh battery. Nothing extraordinary, but it should be an affordable tablet option.

We are not yet sure about the fourth product, but rumors state that it could be a new Honor router. Whatever it turns out to be, Honor is known for its youth-oriented products, which also means that the new devices should come under the affordable category.

2. 360 N5S

Although 360 Mobiles operate inside China, the company has a good fan following internationally because of its cost effective products. The 360 N5 was one of the cheapest 6GB RAM phones in the market and it still is super cheap (you can buy it on Giztop). Considering that it came with Snapdragon 653 and 6GB RAM at just $203, you should definitely be excited to see what’s in store inside the new 360 N5S.

The N5 was announced just a few months back and the phone is already pretty powerful. So, instead of significant upgrades in the specs department, what you can expect is changes in the design. It is said that the phone will come with a double sided glass design, instead of a traditional all-metal body found on the N5. Specs wise, the company may stick with SD653 or maybe jump to a faster SD660 chipset. 6GB RAM is almost confirmed since the N5 had it. Other details are not yet available, but the event is on the same day as the Honor launch, i.e. May 23. So, make sure to check out gizmochina on Tuesday for updates about these two events.

3. Huawei Matebook

Yes, even Huawei has a separate (international) event on May 23 and it has confirmed that it will launch new Huawei Matebook 2 notebooks. Well, we don’t know what it will be called, but earlier rumors said that there were three new Matebook laptops expected this year, called Matebook E, X, and D, one of them using the same convertible design as the first generation model (other two being traditional laptops).

It’s time to maximise your lifestyle. Join us LIVE from Berlin on 23 May 2017 at 14:00 CEST to meet our latest products… #HuaweiMateBook pic.twitter.com/iz9hfEXw7f

— Huawei Mobile (@HuaweiMobile) May 15, 2017

Huawei would probably announce these three Matebook laptop convertibles at the event in Berlin.

4. Meizu M5C

Meizu kind of revealed it late that it had a special event this week. The company revealed the letter “C” in the teasers, which hints that the upcoming device could be named the Meizu C or maybe Meizu M5C. Considering how a leaked screenshot of the company’s smartphone page revealed the yet to be announced Meizu M5C model (which was taken down very soon), it is likely that the phone will end up being called as the M5C.

Expect this to be a mid-ranger with decent specs. Now, Meizu has traditionally worked exclusively with MediaTek for its mid-range phones, but after its settlement with Qualcomm, could we expect a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip inside? Unlikely, given that Meizu’s VP has already revealed that a Snapdragon-based Meizu device would not release anytime soon.

May 24

5. Sharp’s New Bezel-less Flagship

Wednesday is going to be another interesting day for tech lovers as Sharp is all set to announce a brand new smartphone in China. Now, we are aren’t sure which model to expect at the event, but the teasers seem to indicate that this will be a bezel-less flagship.

Considering Sharp isn’t exactly a big player in the smartphone market who will announce multiple phones in a month, what we may see at the May 24 event could be the newly announced Sharp Aquos R. After its Japanese launch, China could be the next big region for the phone, especially with its high-end specs like SD835, and 22.6MP camera.

May 25

6. Xiaomi Mi Max 2

Probably one of the most exciting events of the month, the Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is confirmed to meet us on May 25. This will be the second generation model in the Max lineup, which debuted in May last year.

This year’s Mi Max 2 is expected to feature the same large 6.4-inch display with a 5000mAh battery on board. So, once again, you have a large entertainment friendly screen with an even better battery for hours of continuous media playback. However, things aren’t the same as last year for a phablet, given that phones like the S8 have proved that you don’t need a super large body to feature a super large screen. But if the leaked (~$230) pricing for the Mi Max 2 turns out to be correct, with these specs, the phone’s is definitely going to be an attractive offer. There are two processor versions expected — SD626 and SD660. You can read more about the phone as well as look at its renders from here.

May 26

7. Huawei Nova 2 

As I said at the start of the article, this week is filled with Huawei’s announcements. Even on Friday, we have a new phone meeting us from the tech giant, the Huawei Nova 2. Now, this will be yet another Snapdragon 660 smartphone (we have already spotted the phone on TENAA revealing its specs: check it out here) and the phone, like most Huawei phones released this year, will have dual cameras at the back! Lime green, rose gold and a lot of different color options are expected for the device.

Expect the larger version of the model, the Huawei Nova 2 Plus at the same event. Apart from the larger screen size and battery, the rest of the specs of the phone should be similar to the Nova 2.

Make sure to stay tuned to Gizmochina as we cover all of these launches in the next few days!

The post Here Are the 7 Amazing Product Launch Events Scheduled This Week! appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei announced its unique smartphone, the Huawei Honor Magic back in December 2016. This was a pretty different flagship from the numerous offerings available in the market, mainly because of its smart personalized features to enhance the overall user experience.

Naturally, the company showcased its innovative device at CES 2017 and the same was up for display at MWC 2017 as well. We got a chance to play around with this unique handset and here are our Huawei Honor Magic Hands on images and impressions.

The Huawei Honor Magic comes with a unique design that is curved on all the eight sides. So, the phone is curved both on the front as well as the back, boasting of perfect symmetry in design. This helps in making the grip more comfortable and with the premium 3D glass used on the device, the Honor Magic felt great in our hands.

While the phone looks great from the outside, what’s really the highlight of the Huawei Honor Magic is its software personalizations. There are a lot of interesting features embedded right into the device to offer a much better UI experience. For example, there’s a DeepThink feature that will reveal relevant data based on the information on the webpage. All you have to do is long-press the home button to activate this feature. Then there’s the Facecode Intelligent Recognition which recognizes your face to reveal messages on screen. Only those faces pre-registered on the device will be able to view the messages.

Another interesting feature is the WiseScreen Sensor Magic Intelligent sensor which uses the front infrared sensor as well as the sensors inbuilt into the device to unlock and activate the screen if it recognizes you as the person picking up the phone.

Along with the impressive software features, the Huawei Honor Magic comes with pretty decent specs as well. The phone boasts of a 5.09-inch display with 2K resolution. The phone is powered by Kirin 950 chipset under the hood and comes with a home button up front that accepts multiple gestures. The rear camera on the phone is pretty good, featuring dual 12MP sensors with f/2.2, 1.4um pixels and 6P lens with dual tone flash. Up front, there is an 8MP f/2.0 selfie shooter. Full Honor Magic specs here.

As for connectivity, the Huawei Honor Magic comes with standard USB port, 3.5mm headphone jack as well as SIM card slot at the bottom of the phone. The power button and volume buttons are all located on the right while the left side is clean.

The device is priced at 299 Yuan ($44).

Soon we’ll be flooded with a number of flagship smartphones, but before all that, Huawei has released its second generation Huawei Honor V9 flagship. The new V series smartphones are ideally placed between the mid-range Honor series and the high-end P and Mate series. But seeing the kind of specs loaded on the new Honor V9, it’s clear that the phone can be called as a true flagship model.

So, recently, we have seen that Huawei has started giving a lot of importance on the design and looks of its flagships. The Honor 8 was a beautiful flagship and so was the Mate 9. Now, the Huawei Honor V9 is yet another good looking smartphone measuring just 6.97mm in thickness and for those who would like their phones to look unique, there’s a bright Red color option as well. There are three other official colors being offered for the V9 — Gold, Black, and Blue. But I am sure, there would be a lot of takers for this unique Red shade. And in the conference, the company made sure that the flame Red color of the device was highlighted well enough.

As for the specs, the Honor V9 comes with the powerful Huawei Kirin 960 octa-core chip inside along with 6GB of RAM on board.  This along with 64GB / 128GB ROM options make sure that the phone boasts of current flagship grade configuration. On top of that, there is a 5.7-inch 2K screen on board as well. So, once again, the V9 will be a great VR smartphone. No information on the screen protection yet, but the Huawei Honor V8 had Gorilla Glass 3, so the V9 should also come with Gorilla Glass on top.

The Honor V9 comes with a large battery as well, a 4000mAh capacity one that will ensure that the phone lasts an entire day easily. The previous generation V8 had a 3500mAh one, so this is definitely a great upgrade. As for software, the phone runs on Android 7 Nougat based on EMUI 5.0. The phone also seems to carry forward some of the features first revealed on the Huawei Honor Magic smartphone last year.

Now, coming to the most important part of the phone, the Honor V9 features the third generation 12MP f/2.2 dual camera setup which helps take photos with bokeh effect, excellent low light images, and richer images, thanks to the improved black and white sensor which takes up to 3 times more light.

Huawei is also marketing the honor V9 as the first 3D modeling smartphone. The dual cameras setup along with the help of laser focus at the back is capable of capturing 3D creative photos and using this, you can take 3D print outs too.

The Huawei Honor V9 starts at 2599 Yuan ($377) for the 4GB + 64GB, 2999 Yuan ($436) for the 6GB + 64GB  version and 3499 Yuan ($508) for the 6GB + 128GB version.

The phone goes on sale on February 28 at 10:00 AM.

Huawei has no doubt, had a highly successful year this 2016, with statistics showing the company surpassed its yearly target of selling 140 million units of its phones this year. What better way to consolidate on that success than to begin the New year with a launch event in one of the most lucrative smartphone market which is also one of Huawei’s target market. Huawei’s Honor brand has teased via Twitter, that the company will be unveiling a brand new “epic” Honor smartphone at CES 2017 holding in Las Vegas on January 3.

The company was short of announcing the name of the smartphone but the teasers point to a device with dual cameras and that the phone’s camera acts perfectly in low light with an accompanying image purportedly captured by the phone. There is really nothing new about a dual camera smarphone as Huawei has already got the Honor 8 selling in the US with a dual camera setup. What is likely to drop is the innovative Honor Magic which was unveiled in China recently. While we can’t be very sure about that, it is likely that Huawei will introduce the Honor Magic in the US market where it will be affordable to many.

The Huawei Honor Magic has in its arsenal, a beautiful, sleek design with an hardware setup that makes it a powerful smartphone capable of withstanding the toughest of softwares. Apart from the dual cameras, the Honor Magic also comes with a dual curved display on both the front and back, giving it a unique look.  The Honor Magic sports a 5.09-inch AMOLED display with 2K resolution. The device also tag along the Kirin 950 chipset as well as 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage.The device supports NFC and has a fingerprint sensor embedded under the home button. There is a dual camera setup at the back sitting horizontally with the LED flash at the side. The device crams a 2900mAh battery onboard which is touted as being capable of achieving 90% charge in just 30 minutes.

In addition, Huawei is said to unveil the EMUI 5.0 at CES 2017 and coincidentally, the Honor Magic runs on EMUI 5 based on Android Nougat. The Honor Magic  is priced at 3699 Yuan (~$533) and that’s a very cheap price tag if you take into consideration the rich allure of design and specs it packs.

The post New Interesting Honor Phone Coming to CES 2017, Honor Magic? appeared first on Gizmochina.

After the Xiaomi Mi Mix, we are all excited to meet the new concept smartphone to be announced soon, the Huawei Honor Magic. The company has already confirmed the release to be on December 16, which is less than a week away. While we are expecting some amazing specs on the device, new rumors about the phone has cropped up online, toning down the expected Honor Magic specifications to some extent.

The new rumor says that the Huawei Honor Magic will come with Kirin 950 octa-core chipset (when there’s already Kirin 960 used by the Mate 9) along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. This isn’t exactly mind blowing specification, but it’s still decent. Further, the phone is said to sport a compact 5-inch display with 2K resolution, which would translate into some serious pixel density (~587 ppi). There will be dual cameras on the front as well as the back (12MP). The front would also boast of Iris recognition. Finally, for fast charging, the Huawei Honor Magic is said to support 5V / 8A charging tech, which would translate into 40W charging, much, much faster than the current Mate 9’s 25W charging. However, the battery capacity is said to be limited to 2900mAh.

The Honor Magic is said to have already passed through the 3C certification website back in August under the model number NTS-AL00. Also, the code name for the phone is reportedly “Natasha”.

The Huawei Honor Magic seems like an interesting device and we are all waiting for December 16 when the company will finally take the wraps off the phone.

Looks like Huawei is poised to continue firing on all cylinders in order to meet its 2016 projected target. The Chinese tech giant just released another cool new device dubbed Huawei Honor 5 Play, the latest in its expansive Play series. This is coming on the heels of the release of the Huawei Honor Note 8 which was launched a few hours back with a 6.6-inch display.

The Huawei Honor 5 Play sports mid-range specifications and looks like an upgraded version of the Honor 4 Play released sometime in 2014. The mid-ranger comes with a 5-inch HD display with a narrow frame design and is powered by a 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6735P quad-core processor backed by 2GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage.

In the camera aspect, the device clearly wears a budget smartphone outlook with a decent 8MP rear camera with dual LED flash and a somewhat disappointing 2MP camera for selfies up front, a setup similar to the Honor 4 Play. The smartphone camera also features a self-timer and seems the screen lights up for selfies with the front cam, offering some illumination.

The Honor 5 Play comes with 4G VoLTE support, EasyKey one-touch access function, dual SIM support, dual standby and entire network support, even though there is a carrier specific version available. The beautiful device also crams a 2200mAh battery under its hood, as against 2000mAh on the Honor 4 Play.

The Huawei Honor 5 Play carries a price tag of just 599 Yuan ($91) which is relatively cheap, perhaps a way of clinching the low-end market.

Huawei seems to be on a roll this year. After unveiling the Honor V8 flagship, it announced the Honor 8 smartphone series recently and now, within a few weeks of its launch, the company has made the massive phablet, the Honor Note 8 official in China. Although Huawei is not new to phablets since the company’s Mate series have been 6-inch devices, the new Honor Note 8 takes things to a whole new level by using a 6.6-inch 2K display on board. This is even larger than Xiaomi’s Mi Max, which comes with a 6.44-inch display panel with 1080p resolution. So, Huawei has made sure that the phone has enough punch to taken on and in most cases, beat the Mi Max, at least in terms of specifications.

Considering its massive display, there is no doubt that the company is targeting users who watch a lot of videos and play a lot of games on their phones. The 2K resolution screen makes sure that even with the 6.6-inch panel, the pixel density is 443 ppi. The phone is using a Super AMOLED panel with 105% NTSC color gamut coverage and 70000:1 contrast ratio. The screen brightness can go as low as 4.8nit to ensure that the display is pleasant to your eyes at night.

As for the design, the Huawei Honor Note 8 looks quite similar to its smaller sibling, the Honor V8. The phone features a premium metal body and 2.5D glass up front. The body is pretty thin, measuring just 7.18mm. It weighs 219 grams. There will be three color options, gold, silver and grey.

Inside, the Honor Note 8 comes with the Kirin 955 octa-core chipset with 4GB RAM and 32GB/ 64GB / 128GB storage options. For camera, the phone comes with a 13MP RGBW sensor with f/2.0 aperture, OIS, and DPS/ GPU dual noise reduction. Up front, you have a f/2.0 aperture 8MP sensor.

Like the Xiaomi Mi Max, Huawei has used a large battery inside the new Honor Note 8. You get a 4500mAh battery inside which the company claims is good enough for 13 hours of video playback and more than 2 days of average usage. It supports fast charge as well (9V 2A). You also get split screen multi-tasking option on the phone, which makes sense since there’s so much of display to play around. Then, there’s USB Type-C connectivity. The phone supports dual SIM dual standby with 4G LTE. It also features 3MIC omnidirectional recording which ensures clear audio recording on the phone.

Coming to the pricing, the Huawei Honor Note 8 will start at 2299 Yuan ($346) for the 4GB + 32GB model, 2499 Yuan ($376) (4GB + 64GB) and 2799 Yuan ($421) for the (4GB + 128GB) model. Reservations start today and the phone goes on sale on August 9 via JD.com and VMall.

So, what do you think about the device?

The post Huawei Honor Note 8 official: 6.6-inch 2K Screen, Kirin 955 & More appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei has been teasing the upcoming Honor 8 smartphone as one of the best-looking phone in its class. In fact, in the recent teaser for the device, Huawei calls the Honor 8 “Beauty out of the ordinary”. Up till now, we didn’t have any real renders of the device, but now, the phone has passed through the TENAA certification website, which reveals most of the specs as well as the design of the handset.

First of all, as predicted, the Honor 8 will use a double glass design with a metal frame. To be honest, in the images, the phone doesn’t look anything out of the ordinary, but we will have to reserve our judgment till we see the device in real life. It’s going to be compact and thin, and the basic design seems to be a continuation of its previous generation models. You can also see a round fingerprint sensor at the back along with the dual camera setup.

As for the specs, the Huawei Honor 8 will come with a 5.2-inch 1080p display. Under the hood, the phone features a 2.3GHz processor, which should be the octa-core Kirin 950 chip. There will be multiple variants of the phone, as spotted a few hours back (FRD-TL100, FRD-DL00, FRD-AL100, FRD-AL10) and these variants will differ in network connectivity support (a couple of these support all networks in China) as well as storage. There will be 3GB RAM + 32GB, 4GB + 32GB and 4GB + 64GB storage variants. The phone will come with Android 6 pre-installed and dual card dual standby support with an infrared port as well.

As for the camera, it should be the same as the Honor V8. So the upcoming Honor 8 will feature 12MP dual cameras at the back and a single 8MP sensor up front. The dimensions are: 145.5 × 71.0 × 7.45 mm and the weight: 153 grams. 

The Honor 8 should be positioned right below the Honor V8 flagship series. So, the pricing of the base model (3GB + 32GB) is expected to start at 1999 Yuan ($306).

The phone should be unveiled sometime early July.

A few days back, we heard that Huawei was going to announce the Honor 8 flagship early July. In fact, we even had a date, i.e. July 5, which was said to be the release date of the device. Looks like this information might be true, as Honor has started teasing the smartphone. Considering the timing of the teaser, July 5 release could be possible.

In the teaser, Huawei is calling the Honor 8 “Beauty Out of the Ordinary”. The past rumors about the device have revealed that Honor 8 was going to be a very attractive smartphone. And it looks like the company has roped in a celebrity to promote the launch of the new flagship device. This is an important device for Honor since it’s going to be cheaper than the Honor V8 announced a couple of months back, yet it would feature specs good enough to take on other mid-range flagships in the market.

The phone is said to come with a double glass design and a metal frame which will reportedly make it look highly attractive. Further, the bezels on the screen are also said to be thin, thereby increasing its beauty up front. As for the specs, the Honor 8 will reportedly feature Kirin 955 octa-core chipset with 4GB RAM and three memory variants 32GB / 64GB and 128GB. The screen will be compact, measuring 5.2-inches with 1080p resolution. Like the Honor V8 and the Huawei P9, the Honor 8 is also expected to come with dual 12MP cameras at the back. But we are not sure whether there will be any differences in the module as compared to the V8 flagship.

Other features of the Honor 8 include an infrared port, 3200mAh battery, fingerprint sensor, and USB Type-C. The four expected variants, — 32GB without NFC, 32GB with NFC, 64GB and 128GB should be priced at 1999 Yuan ($308), 2199 Yuan ($334), 2499 Yuan ($380) and 2799 ($380) respectively. The top-end version should bump up the resolution to 2K.

Huawei seems to be launching new phones almost every month. Now, the latest rumors suggest that the Huawei Honor 8 mid-range flagship smartphone from the company will be announced on July 5. The phone will reportedly go on sale from July 12. In case you are wondering why the company hasn’t revealed launch details, it is said that we will get official confirmation by June 25.  For the first time, we have some very specific dates for the Honor 8, so let’s wait and see if the event is indeed on July 5.

The Honor 8 is said to be the most beautiful smartphone from the company. We aren’t quite sure what exactly makes it so beautiful, but the phone is said to feature dual glass design with a metal body and very thin bezels. Since we don’t have any good renders of the device yet, we will have to wait for a few more days to see the device in the flesh.

As for the specs, the Honor 8 flagship will be an upper mid-range device. The phone is said to come with dual 12MP cameras at the back, similar to the setup found on the Honor V8. It looks like Huawei is going to make dual cameras standard among its important devices this year. Further, it should come with a 5.2-inch 1080p display, 3200mAh battery with fast charge, infrared port, fingerprint sensor, 4GB of RAM and USB Type-C. The processor should most likely be the Kirin 955.

Rumors state that the pricing of the phone should be quite competitive as well. The Honor 8 could come in four different variants. The 4GB + 32GB standard model should retail for 1999 Yuan ($308) and will lack NFC. The other three variants, i.e. 4GB + 32GB (supports all networks) should cost 2199 Yuan ($334), 4GB + 64GB should be priced at 2499 Yuan ($380) and the top-end model with 2K display, 4GB RAM + 128GB storage should retail for 2799 Yuan ($425).

While Snapdragon 617 octa-core chip initially powered mid-range smartphones in the market, like the HTC One A9 (well, it even powers the Moto G4 Plus which costs about $224), this particular chip is now being found inside entry level handsets. Huawei’s Honor division just released a new smartphone in the market, the Honor 5A and guess what, the full network version of this handset will be powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 617 chipset clocked at 1.5GHz. But there will be other versions as well, like China Mobile and dual netcom variants which use the octa-core Huawei’s Kirin 620 chipset clocked at 1.2GHz.

Like its previous generation models, the Honor 5A is targeted at the young generation, coming in a plastic body and metal frame, and in different colors. The phone measures 154.3 x 77.1 x 8.45 and weighs 168 grams. As for the display, the device comes with a 5.5-inch screen with 720p resolution. The contrast ratio is 1000:1, with 178-degree wide viewing angles and pixel level adjustment for better screen viewability under sunlight. Further, the screen also comes with Aluminum-Silicon tempered glass, which provides protection to the display under it.

Although the processors are different for the variants, rest of the specs remain the same. So, the Honor 5A comes with 2GB of RAM on board, along with 16GB of expandable storage. At the back, the phone features a 13MP camera with 5P lens, 28mm wide angle shooting and 7cm macro. While up front, you get an 8MP front facing shooter with 4P lens, f/2.0 aperture, and blue glass filters to reduce flare. The battery capacity is also pretty decent, of 3100mAh capacity with power saving 3.0 feature that should help provide up to a day’s battery life.

The phone boasts of hardware level security which protects the device from illegal access, filters suspicious URLs and has a special anti-theft feature as well. As for the pricing, the Honor 5A is priced aggressively. The China Mobile variant starts at just 699 Yuan ($106), while the full network variant and the dual netcom variant retails for 799 Yuan ($121).

You can currently register for the first sale of the Honor 5A on June 17 at JD.com and Huawei’s own online store in China.

First of all, the major highlight of the new chip is that it is manufactured on an much more efficent node than competitors. The Huawei Kirin 650 is built on the 16nm FinFET plus process from TSMC, which is much better than the 28nm process used by rivals such as Helio X10 and even Snapdragon 616.

As for the specs of the chip, it comes with ARM’s big.LITTLE architecture with 4 x Cortex A53 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and 4 x Cortex A53 cores clocked at 1.7GHz. Even in the GPU department, there’s an upgrade as compared to the previous generation. Now, it is using the Mali T830 MP2 dual-core GPU which is a big upgrade from last year’s Kirin 620. How big you ask? The company claims that in the CPU department, the new gen chip sees an improvement of 60% while in the GPU department, you’ll find 100% increase in performance.

The chip also comes with the i5 co-processor which aids the CPU in various tasks. The co-processor is low power consuming, and hence, handles some specific tasks much more efficiently. Then there’s the company’s self-developed ISP which helps adjust dynamic range and supports hybrid technology focus which reportedly helps take better pictures with your smartphone.

In addition, the Kirin 650 also comes with its own HiSEE security solution which helps in mobile payments, call encryption etc. It also features the new wireless chip Hi1102 which supports infrared, FM, GPS, Compass etc. So, it comes with standard connectivity features supported by most chips these days.

Despite its mid-range placement, Kirin 650 is still one of the important chips for the company now. This is because the chip comes with support for a wide number of networks, in other words, full netcom support. It should support all three major networks in China. Company reveals that the chip will come with support for TD-LTE /  FDD-LTE / TD-SDCMA / WCDMA / GSM and even CDMA networks. Further, you get Cat. 7 LTE support with speeds of up to 300 Mbps. Then, there’s VoLTE support as well.

Interestingly, the Huawei 5C powered by this Kirin 650 chip actually doesn’t come with full netcom support. This came as a surprise given that the chip was capable, yet the phone was not provided support for the additional networks. Later, an analyst from China revealed that this was due to the need for software optimizations. He said that full netcom support could be added with just an update to the baseband in the future.

So, it looks like this will be the chip that will drive the low-end and mid-range segment of the company. We can expect the still unannounced Huawei P9 Lite to become the second phone with this chip on board.

In the recent leaked benchmark test of the Kirin 650, the chip scores lower than Helio X10, which was a bit disappointing. But let’s wait for some real life performance and benchmark tests of the chipset to make conclusions about this newly released SoC.

A few minutes earlier we reported that Huawei will most likely release its new Huawei P9 flagship at CES 2016. While we are not quite sure of the phone’s release this early, we have a product that we are quite sure will end up at the event. Thanks to a teaser from the company, it looks like Huawei will show off the Honor X3 tablet at CES 2016 in Las Vegas.

Yesterday afternoon, Huawei released a teaser showing off a thin metal device, with the following words on top “Rhythm x Entertainment”. The poster shows that the speakers will be located at the side and it will feature at least a metal frame, if not an all metal body. From the size of the device and the design, it looks like Huawei will release the Honor X3 tablet at the event.

Huawei may incorporate the same Kirin 950 chipset that debuted on the Huawei Mate 8 flagship. Thanks to the previous leaks, we kind of know the specifications of the device. The Honor X3 tablet is rumored to come with a 6.2-inch display with 2K resolution screen. Huawei has often stressed 2K resolution is unnecessary on a smartphone sized device. But the company may make an exception with the Honor X3, probably because it’s a large phablet/ tablet.

Under the hood, the X3 is said to come with Kirin 950 with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. At the back, the device will reportedly come with a 20MP camera while up front, you can expect an 8MP sensor. As for the software, the X3 tablet is said to feature the all new Android 6.0 Lollipop update.

Since the teaser confirms the launch on January 5th, we don’t have to wait too long to get more details about the Honor X3. Pricing details are still unknown, but you can expect the tablet to retail for somewhere around $400.

After weeks of speculation and leaks, the beautiful Honor 5X with an all metal body has been finally unveiled. The phone will join the likes of other recently announced metal phones like Meizu Metal in the budget mid-range segment.

The Honor 5X comes with a 5.5-inch FHD display with Snapdragon 616 clocked at 1.7GHz and Adreno 405 GPU. There will be 16GB of storage with 2GB / 3GB RAM versions. You also have a MicroSD card slot to further expand the storage on board.

At the back, there will be a 13MP camera with 5MP front facing shooter. The battery is quite decent too, 3000mAh with fast charge 3.0 that promises up to 50% charging in 30 minutes. There’s a fingerprint sensor on board as well, at the back which is quite fast as it can recognize a fingerprint in just 0.4s. As for connectivity, there’s dual SIM card slots, both of which support 4G LTE networks.

Like most of Huawei’s Honor smartphones, the Honor 5X is quite competitive too as it starts at just $157 for the 2GB variant and around $220 for the 3GB variant.

The phone is definitely a looker with its shiny all metal body. It comes in gold, grey and silver shades. You can check out the images of the device from down below.

Huawei is all set to unveil at least one new device on October 10. Unlike its previous offerings in this year, this particular device will target the low-end market with an affordable price tag. While we are still unsure of the official name of the upcoming device, we expect it to be called as the Huawei Honor 5X Play.

As for the specs, they are quite decent with a quad-core 1.3GHz MT6735 chipset, 2GB RAM, and 16GB of expandable storage. There will be a 5-inch touchscreen with 720p resolution. At the back, the phone will feature a 13MP camera with LED flash, while up front, you can expect a 5MP shooter. The highlight of the device will be its super large 4000mAh battery which will make sure that the phone runs throughout the day in a single charge.

The company is said to attract the young generation crowd with its new Honor 5X Play handset. The phone will reportedly come in multiple color options as well. Given its large battery, TENAA reveals that the 5X Play will feature a 9.7mm thick body and will weigh about 159 grams. It will support 4G LTE network as well as dual SIM dual standby. As for the pricing, it is expected that the Play 5X will retail for less than 999 Yuan which comes to around $160. Not bad for an entry level device with a large battery.

So what do you think about the Honor 5X Play?

Huawei is also expected to reveal the all metal Honor 5X device at the same event, you can read more about that from this article.

Huawei has been busy this year, releasing a number of devices in different lineups at  regular intervals. First it was the Huawei P8, then came the Huawei Honor 7 and later we saw the Honor 4A aimed at the budget customers.

Just a couple of days back, we came across a TENAA listing wherein the Huawei Honor model, ATH-AL00 & ATH-AL00H (higher end version?) passed through TENAA. While the Chinese certification website failed to reveal the specs of the devices, the pictures showed us a unique rear camera unit. From the images, it looked as if the camera could slide up to act as a front facing shooter too.

Earlier today, Huawei’s Honor Weibo account released a new teaser, which said “Little More Than Amazing”, showing the dates August 10. So, it looks like the ATH-AL00 model that we saw on TENAA could be announced on the above mentioned date.
As you can see in the pictures above, the rear camera can slide up to act as a front facing shooter. This means, you get flash (probably Xenon) both on the front as well as the back. Unlike the OPPO N1 which had the same rear camera act as the front facing shooter, it looks like this Huawei model comes with two separate camera sensors.

What’s the exact benefit from such a unique design is still to be known. However, given that the launch could be as soon as August 10, we hope to get more information in the coming days.

Huawei is quite busy working on a number of new smartphones for launch later this year. Looks like, among the Huawei Honor 7 and the Mate 8 flagships, the company will be unveiling an entry level Honor device in the market. A new phone with the code name SCL-AL00 recently hit TENAA, revealing the looks as well as limited features of the device.

Unlike the usual tradition, TENAA did not reveal any particular specs of the device. But we did find some pictures, which reveals a basic plastic design with a metal frame. The highlight of the phone’s design was the gold colored frame, which kind of sets it apart from the other low level offerings in the market.

However, we know very little about the specs. The phone will support TD-LTE, LTE FDD, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, CDMA2000, CDMA 1X and GSM networks. Other than that TENAA does not list any details of the device.

But according to a Geekbench listing of a device in February, with the same code name, Huawei SCL-AL00, the phone will feature a quad-core Qualcomm chipset clocked at 1.1GHz with 2GB RAM and Android 5.0.

We expect a lot more details in the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

Huawei has been quite busy the last few weeks, especially since it announced its flagship smartphone for the year, the Huawei P8 which sports a sleek and premium design with top-end specs. But just a few days after this big launch, the company will unveil another flagship product in its mid-range Honor lineup.

The last few days have been flooded with Huawei Honor 4C leaks and it looks like more leaks will follow until the phone is launched on April 28. A few hours back, we saw a whole new set of images of the Huawei Honor 4C model on the internet. The images are similar to the ones that we have seen earlier, but we get to see the phone in a bit more details this time.

One of the interesting aspects revealed by this new leak is the bezels. If you look closely, the phone comes with super thin metal bezels around the sides. However, the display doesn’t extent up to that. In fact, you can see that there is a thick black border which kind of ruins the thin bezel design.

The images also show that the Honor 4C will come with a metal frame and a plastic back. The speakers are located at the bottom, while the camera unit lies on the top left corner. Being a mid-range flagship, the company has not incorporated the dual camera setup that we saw on the Honor 6 Plus.

As for the tech specs, earlier leaks have confirmed that the phone will feature a Kirin 620 64-bit octa-core processor with 2GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The display will be of 5-inches with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. As for the camera, there will be a 13MP unit at the back and a 5MP shooter up front. Finally, the phone will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop OS out of the box and will come with a 2550mAh battery.

The company is said to unveil three new devices at the April 28 event namely the Huawei Honor 4C Play, 4C Max and 4C Note.

You can take a look at the images from down below.

We have been hearing a lot about the up coming Huawei mid-ranger called as the Huawei Honor 4C. In fact, the day before we saw that the phone was listed on the official Huawei Russia website which revealed the smartphone’s specs and design.

Now it looks like the company is all set to make the device official as Huawei has released a new invite via its official Weibo account. The invite says that the company has an official event on April 28 where it will unveil the new Honor 4C mid-ranger. The event will be held at the Beijing National Convention Center.

Yesterday’s leak reveals that the phone will most likely run on the new Kirin 620 chipset with 2GB RAM. There will be 13MP camera at the back along with dual 4G support. There will be a 5-inch display up front with 720p resolution.

From the leaked images we can see that the Honor 4C will feature a beautiful and sleek design. The pricing is expected to be around 999 Yuan which should put it in direct competition with Xiaomi Redmi Note and Meizu M1 (Blue Charm) Note.
For more information, you can check out our previous article.

Huawei just unveiled its brand new flagship in the premium P series lineup, the Huawei P8. But, if the company follows the usual schedule of releasing handset, then we should see a another flagship in the Honor lineup pretty soon, around June.

Looks like we have just received the first of images and information of the Huawei Honor 7 flagship. This phone will reportedly succeed the current affordable Honor 6 smartphone.

One of the highlights of the pictures leaked is the fingerprint sensor at the back. Yes, you can clearly see the fingerprint sensor on the top rear portion of the device. And we can also see that the back is made out of metal, which will be a deviation from the current plastic built of the Honor 6.

The metal built and the fingerprint sensor actually makes the phone look like the successor of Mate 7. But you can see the honor branding behind it, which gives away its identity. On top, you can also see the camera sensor along with the dual LED flash besides it.

The Honor 7 is expected to feature a 5.5-inch full HD display, just like the Honor 6 Plus. Huawei’s own Kirin 930/  935 chip will power the device, with built-in 3GB of RAM and 16GB storage. It runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop, along with Huawei’s own EMUI on top.

Interestingly, today, we saw another set of images which claim to be the new Huawei flagship. The phone has a different design than what we saw above, and there’s no fingerprint sensor. However, the dual camera sensor that we saw on the Honor 6 Plus makes a comeback on the device. So, this could be a different smartphone than the one leaked earlier.

UPDATE: The device shown above with the fingerprint sensor is said to be the Honor 7 Plus and the one below is the Honor 7.

However, we still don’t know which one is real. Both could be fake, or just one could be true. So, its best to wait to get some concrete information about the device before making conclusions.

Huawei has shipped over 1 million devices in its C881X lineup. Today, we have come across yet another device in this lineup which will offer decent specs for a relatively low price tag.

The Huawei C8818 recently hit TENAA revealing a few set of pictures and the full tech specs. The phone will support only CDMA networks and not GSM, yet will feature dual SIM dual Standby, which is a rarity in these types of devices.

As for the processor, the Huawei C8818 will come with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 615 64-bit octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz with 2GB RAM on board. There will be 8GB of internal storage which can be further expanded up to 32GB via MicroSD. Up front, the Huawei C8818 will feature a 5-inch 720p display along with a 5MP camera on top. At the back, there will be a 13MP shooter. The phone is said to run on the Android 4.4 KitKat version of the OS.

Design wise, the Huawei C8818 looks a lot like the Huawei Honor 4X. You can clearly see the round edges, top left camera placement and many other distinctive characteristics that’s directly carried forward from the 4X. So, the C8818 could be CDMA variant of the device. However, the phone is slightly thicker with the measurements, 143.5 × 71.9 × 8.9mm. On the other hand, the Honor 4X was 8.7mm thin. But, this particular device weighs around 162 grams which is less than the 165 gram 4X.

As you can see, the Huawei C8818 packs in good specs in well designed body. The phone could be priced anywhere around 1000 Yuan which would make it a great deal for customers looking to take advantage of 4G on CDMA networks.

Given that this is a CDMA edition, we don’t think the phone will ever be releaed outside of China. But what do you think about the phone, if the price is indeed $160.

Huawei is on a roll this year as the company is all set to release a number of handsets in both, the top end and entry level lineup. While we already know that the Huawei P8 will be unveiled at an official event on April 15, it looks like the company has yet another gadget in store for us. The upcoming Huawei Honor 4C Play will be a compact device with a 5-inch display. The phone will have an eight core processor along with 2GB to run things smoothly. Moreover, since this will first launch in China, you can expect two versions of the device, namely the GSM CHM-TL00 and the CDMA CHM-CL00.

Since this is a 5-inch device, the dimension measure just 143.5 × 71.9 × 8.9 (mm). Also, it has a weight 162 (g) which is decent for a device of its size.

Coming to the exact tech specs, the Huawei Honor 4C Play will sport a 5-inch display with HD 720p resolution. There will be 2GB RAM onboard along with 8GB of expandable internal storage. Like mentioned above, you’ll find an eight core processor inside, however the exact make depends upon the version of the device. The GSM version comes with Huawei’s own Kirin 620 processor clocked at 1.2GHz while the CDMA edition comes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 615. At the back, there will be a 13MP camera while up front you’ll find a 5MP shooter. The Huawei Honor Play 4C runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and will feature a 2550 mAh battery.

The device will be available in white, black, and gold colors. Since the Huawei 4X is priced at 799 Yuan, we don’t think the Huawei Play 4C will be priced any higher. In fact, this particular device could be targeted to compete directly at the Xiaomi Redmi 2. And in comparison, the Play 4C does manage to get ahead of the Xiaomi device in some aspects.

Anyways, lets wait for the official pricing and availability details from the company and hope that we have yet another cheap device for choosing in the coming weeks.

Huawei’s Honor subsidiary recently posted four posters in their Weibo account showing the number “4” and the letter “X.” They are obviously promoting the upcoming Huawei Honor 4X. They also have slogans such as “Transparency that cannot be found anywhere else”, “Irresistible”, “Very affordable”, and even “highly intelligent.”

The “transparency” must refer to how this phone supports all bands and that the user can surf the web everywhere. The “irresistibility” probably means that this phone has a very beautiful and exquisite appearance, as well as support for dual-SIM and powerful camera specifications. The “very affordable” obviously refers to the price, while the “intelligent” part implies that it will use a powerful processor. Many believe that the Huawei Honor 4X is the recently-leaked Honor Che1-CL20 which supports a 6-mode network, and TD-LTE, LTE-FDD, TD-SCDMA, WCDMA, CDMA (1x, EVDO), and GSM.
