A series of smart phones Honor from Huawei hada good success. Breaking into the digital market with their models, this manufacturer has managed to set its own tone of attitude towards mobile gadgets. That's 5 version of the smoothly merged into this line. In this review, the Huawei Honor 5C phone with features will be discussed in detail.
With its average cost of 11,000 rublesThe device has quite attractive characteristics. The design is as simple as possible, apparently for the sake of the technical stuffing. The entire front part is covered with glass. In the upper area there is a hole for the speaker. Next to it, the camera and proximity and illumination sensors are already canonically located. The edges of the perimeter of the smartphone are rounded under a small radius. The device has two microphones. The main one is on the bottom, the additional one is on top. Here there is a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack.
For SIM cards two separate connectors are allocated. However, if you need to expand the memory with the SD card, you will have to replace one of the slots. Conveniently or not, the reviews will be shown.
The back of the smartphone is aThe metal panel, pleasant to the touch. It hosts the main camera and flash. It's interesting that the gadget version for the Chinese market is equipped with a fingerprint scanner located on the back panel. For Europe, this characteristic for some reason decided to remove.
The volume and power buttons are on the right side of the smartphone. In fact, it has already become a classic for mobile gadgets.
Technical specifications of Huawei Honor 5Crather "pleasant." The core load is taken by the eight-core Kirin 650 processor. Interestingly, 4 of them work at 2 GHz with Cortex-A72, and 4 at 1.7 GHz with Cortex-A53. For graphics processing, ARM Mali-T830 MP2 is used at 600 MHz. The technological process is 16-nanometer. This approach has reduced the cost of electricity consumption. And due to the fact that you can place a larger number of transistors on a chip with a smaller area, the cost of creating the product decreases with increasing overall performance. These characteristics of Huawei Honor 5C, of course, are not top-end, but rather average. The test "Antutu" shows 53200, which is quite good.
The RAM in the phone is set to 2 GB.This is a worthy indicator for this class of smartphones. The built-in memory is 16. And, as usual, the user is available around 10. With the growth in the volume of applications and games, this is not such a high figure. And given the fact that when using two "simok" flash card slot is busy, and to expand the total amount of memory is impossible, you have to save system resources.
The screen in the smartphone TFT-IPS.Its size is 5.2 inches at a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The resulting pixel density is 424 dots per inch. The viewing angles are excellent, the color rendition is also high. The light sensor will help to adjust the brightness to any external lighting. The touch screen is capable of recognizing up to 10 simultaneous touches.
Characteristics of Huawei Honor 5C in terms ofinterfaces are also interesting. All known 4G frequencies in the phone are supported. A small limitation can be the fact that only one SIM card can use LTE in a given time unit. Second SIM card will have to be content with the GSM standard.
As for wireless interfaces, there is a "full mincemeat" here. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1 and NFC. The latter, with sufficient configuration, can be used for contactless payment using Android Pay.
Navigation can work in all known ontoday systems - GLONASS, GPS and Baidu. On the "hot" satellites are in 10-15 seconds. In cold mode, this will take almost twice as long.
The battery has a capacity of 3000 mAh.Taking into account the characteristics of the phone Huawei Honor 5C, with the active work of its charge is unlikely to be missed even for a day. And "serious" games and can plant a device for 3-4 hours at all.
As the operating system is used"Android" 6.0. And over it there is a special add-on of the interface EMUI 4.1. It includes convenient innovations when placing icons on the home screen. One of the main features - the combination of icons in a shared folder. The background of the lock screen is an image gallery, on which you can subscribe. As a result, the phone will meet the user every time with a beautiful new picture. It is also possible to change the whole color scheme. One of the interesting "chips" EMUI - when shaking the smartphone is the ordering of icons on the desktop. In general, this add-in has many different parameters and configurations. You can configure almost everything.
Pixels in the cells are pretty much.The main one has 13 MP, the front one has 8. The control application has a special application. It contains a bunch of different functions and settings. You can take a panorama, exposure, set a variety of color balances.
When using the default settings and inclear weather, the quality of the images is excellent. The room imposes its limitations, and the noise can be seen much more clearly. For shooting at dusk and at night you will need to calibrate the camera settings manually.
The smartphone is perfect for firmware.However, for this you will have to tinker a bit, because "out of the box" the loader is locked and it must be unlocked first. You also need the rights of the root, which is also solved.
On authoritative sites in the network there is a largethe number of both "custom" and official firmware. So for fans to reflash and in various ways to modernize the device rather tempting prospects open.
The device has in its bowels module NFC.However, without the rights of the root and the unlocked loader, you will not be able to pay by means of Android Pay. The network has a lot of instructions on how to achieve installation of funds for payment on the phone.
Similar phones with the characteristics of Huawei Honor 5C a lot. Some in something better, something worse. Next, a list of the most suitable devices will be presented.

The characteristics of the smartphone Huawei Honor 5C collected a large number of positive comments.
As for the screen, users note excellent brightness and picture quality. Pleased and its quick adaptation to the external environment with the help of the light sensor.
One of the users left a detailed review aboutcharacteristics of Huawei Honor 5C. In it, he expressed admiration for this apparatus. Specifically, he liked the performance and stable fast operation of applications and devices in general. Running games is carried out with a bang. The charge lasts a long time. The display was very high quality and colorful. The case several times saved the phone from falling. Upgrade to "Android" 7.0 passed without problems. Well, of course, I could not help but please the price. Navigation "picks up" the satellites very quickly. The same goes for positioning.
Another of the noted features of the Huawei Honor 5C NEM L51 is the fast Internet. Sites open instantly, loading applications also did not disappoint.
The branded EMUI looks comfortable, thoughunusual. At first, you'll have to get to some settings through the "jungle" of system menus and icons. But then it will seem more familiar than the standard application of the Android operating system.
Actual for this smartphone will be the use of any unlimited tariff. Viewing and downloading HD movies for this unit is a simple task.
Interesting and the function of protecting the eyes from the effects of special light frequencies. When it is turned on, the load on the visual organs is reduced, and reading something from the screen becomes more convenient and safer.
The undoubted advantage is that the smartphoneIt is able to switch from productive cores to more economical ones. This will save the battery for less "heavy" processes. And it will allow you to optimize performance for demanding applications.
Not without negative comments.Some people seemed to have few characteristics of Huawei Honor 5C. 16 GB, claimed by the manufacturer, in reality are 10. Automatic switching from 3G to 4G does not always happen. It is necessary to install in forced mode. However, this approach becomes inconvenient if the user moves to an area in which the latest generation communication standard is not supported.
One user noted a number of characteristicsHuawei Honor 5C Pro in a negative context. This applies to cheap external materials and appearance in general. There is also sometimes a "dumb" light sensor. The same problems are often observed in the proximity sensor.
The screen coverage does not always look perfect after intensive use. As a result, fingerprints remain on the surface.
Implementation of the joint slot, in whichIt is necessary to use either an SD card or a SIM card, causing some inconvenience. For example, if a certain application is installed on a USB flash drive, and you need to urgently use the second SIM card, the program can not work.
In case of insufficient illumination, a camera having 13 MP makes pictures with rather poor detail.
With very active use of the device, the battery brings very much. Users note that it would be possible to install a larger battery in such a device.
In general, an overview of the characteristics of Huawei Honor 5C andreviews showed that the phone has more positive and convenient settings than negative ones.
