Honor X smartphones series are extremely popular with Honor products. It is perhaps more successful than other devices of this brand combines decent technical characteristics and a truly affordable price. At one time, we witnessed the triumph of the model 5x, as well as a decent continuation in the form of Honor 6x. Today it's time to disassemble all the technical capabilities of the next one in turn of the representative of the legendary family - a smartphone called Honor 7X, presented at the end of the year in London.

Honor 7X is available on sale in a concisely decorated box of solid matte cardboard blue with a white logo.

The set of our test apparatus included standard charger Without fast charging support (5 seconds 2 A), USB cable and tool for extracting cards.

Appearance and ease of use

The design of Honor 7X is more reminded of a novelty from the Huawei Nova 2 series than the flagship of its Honor 9 line. If the most noticeable detail of the body design is the luxurious glass back panel with a mirror substrate, then the housing is fully made of matte metal.

At the same time, at Huawei Nova 2, our hero looks like almost two drops of water, with the exception of small strokes, such as the shape of the grooves for antennas and the outbreak location. There is also no rim around the round of the fingerprint scanner, and it is rather plus. But straightless non-curious bends grooves for antennas are more minus, because they visually make the design rough, straightforward.

Miracles does not happen, a smartphone with a six-pisty display cannot be elegant. Honor 7X housing is large, heavy, and solid metal surfaces of the metal very well slide in dry palms, everything as usual. Fingerprints on these matte surfaces are also surprisingly visible.

The protective glass has lowland edges, an event light indicator is installed above the screen. Here, by the way, there are no angular rounds of the screen itself, like many other "full-screen" devices with an increase from 5.5 inch displays due to the decreased frames.

The frame around the screen is not doing anywhere, no, this is not a "beamless" option, as such "full-screen" smartphones began to call such "full-screen" smartphones. With sides, it sometimes even turns out to be wider, but the segments on top and bottom in new products with screens 18: 9 narrowed to approximately a centimeter or even stronger, this is a fact, and more and more beautiful. But this, such smartphones under the screen there is no fingerprint scanner, nor hardware sensor buttons.

The fingerprint scanner was transferred to the back side, its round site is located next to the eyes of a twin camera. These elements have the same diameter, are placed symmetrically, but due to the fact that both chambers are repeated, it still looks worse than if the modules were combined for a single glass, like the iPhone Plus series, for example. Also on the back there is a single LED flash. It is curious that these three elements are located strictly along the groove with antennas.

The lenses are repeated beyond the surface limits, but the area of \u200b\u200bthe back wall is so large (it does not have a bevels) that the smartphone lying on the table almost does not swing when touched to the screen. It is quite possible to work with your smartphone.

You can install two SIM cards to the smartphone (both Nano-SIM format) or replace one of them on the MicroSD memory card. Supported hot card replacement.

Mechanical buttons on the right side are large, comfortable, complaints about them.

On the upper point you can find only a small hole of the auxiliary microphone, and the 3.5-millimeter audio output on the headphones, the conversational microphone and the main loudspeaker are removed in the lower end.

Smartphone is available on sale in three color versions: black, blue and golden.

Screen

Honor 7X is equipped with an IPS display, covered with 2.5d glass with sloping edges. Physical dimensions The screen is 68 × 136 mm with a diagonal of 5.93 inches, aspect ratio of 18: 9. At the same time, the screen resolution is 2160 × 1080 with a density of points about 407 PPI. The frame around the screen has a thickness of the sides of about 4 mm, top and bottom - by centimeter.

It is possible to use automatic brightness adjustment based on the operation of the external light sensor. Multitouch tests diagnose support for simultaneous touches.

Detailed examination with the use of measuring instruments was conducted by the editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections Alexey Kudryavtsev. We present his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface resistant to the appearance of scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-reflective properties of the screen are slightly worse than the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter just Nexus 7). For clarity, we give a photo on which the white surface is reflected in the screens (left - Nexus 7, right - Honor 7X, then they can be distinguished by size):

The Honor 7X screen is a bit lighter (brightness of photographs 123 versus 116 at Nexus 7). Two reflected objects in the Honor 7X screen is very weak, it suggests that there is no air interval between the layers of the screen (more specifically, between the outer glass and the surface of the LCD matrix) (OGS - One Glass Solution). Due to the smaller number of borders (type of glass / air) with highly different refractive ratios, such screens look better in conditions of intensive exterior illumination, but their repair in the event of a cracked exterior glass costs much more expensive, as it is necessary to change the entire screen. On the outer surface of the screen, there is a special oleophobic (fat-repellent) coating, which is better in efficiency than Nexus 7. Therefore, traces from fingers are removed significantly easier, and appear at a lower speed than in the case of ordinary glass.

When manually controlling the brightness and when the white field is output, the maximum brightness value was about 490 kD / m², the minimum is 2.5 kD / m². The maximum brightness is high, and given the good anti-glare properties, readability of the screen even on a sunny day outside the room should be at an acceptable level. In complete dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. In stock Automatic brightness adjustment over the illumination sensor (it is located to the left of the slot of the front loudspeaker). IN automatic mode When the external lighting conditions change, the screen brightness both rises and decreases. The operation of this function depends on the position of the brightness adjustment slider, the user can try to set the required brightness level under current conditions. We slightly increased the brightness in complete darkness and obtained such a result: in complete darkness, the auto-level function reduces the brightness of up to 20 cd / m², in conditions lit by artificial offices (approximately 550 LC) sets at 190 kD / m², in a very bright environment (corresponds to lighting A clear day outside the room, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 LCs or a little more) increases to 490 kD / m². The result was quite arranged. It turns out that the auto-adjustment feature of the brightness is adequately and allows the user to customize its work under individual requirements. At any level of brightness, there is no significant illumination modulation, so there is no screen flicker.

This smartphone uses an IPS type matrix. Micrographs demonstrate a typical structure of subpixels for IPS:

For comparison, you can familiarize yourself with the micrographic gallery of the screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without a significant shift of colors, even with large looks from the perpendicular to the screen and without inverting shades. For comparison, we give the photos on which the same images are displayed on the Honor 7x and Nexus 7 screens, while the brightness of the screens is initially installed about 200 kD / m², and the color balance on the camera is forcibly switched to 6500 K.

Perpendicular to screens White field:

Note good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field.

And test picture:

The colors on the Honor 7X screen have natural saturation, the color balance of the Nexus 7 and the tested screen differs slightly.

Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors did not change much from both screens, but Honor 7x decreased to a greater extent due to the larger decreement of black.

And white field:

The brightness at an angle at the screens has decreased (at least 5 times, based on the excerpt), but in the case of Honor 7x, the decline of brightness is slightly larger. The black field during the diagonal deviation is highlighted in moderately and acquires a purple shade. The photos below are demonstrated (the brightness of white areas in the perpendicular plane of the directions of the direction is the same!):

And at a different angle:

With perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is good:

Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is high - about 1600: 1. Response time when switching black-white-black is 22 ms (10 ms incl. + 12 ms Off). The transition between halftons of gray 25% and 75% (for the numerical color value) and back in sum occupies 37 ms. Constructed by 32 points with an equal interval in the numerical value of the shade of a gray gamma curve did not reveal in neither lights or in the shadows. The indicator of the approximating power function is 2.09, which is slightly lower than the standard value of 2.2. In this case, the real gamma curve is almost not deviated from the power dependence:

The presence of a dynamic adjustment of the brightness of the backlight in accordance with the nature of the displayed image, we did not reveal that very well.

Color coverage is close to SRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix light filters to moderately mix the components to each other:

As a result, visual colors on this screen do not differ from natural. The balance of shades on the gray scale is good, since the color temperature is not much higher than the standard 6500 K, and the deviation from the spectrum of absolutely black bodies (ΔE) is below 10, which is considered an acceptable indicator for the consumer device. In this case, the color temperature and Δe change little from the shade to the shade - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of the color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can not be considered, since there the balance of colors does not matter, and the measurement error of the color characteristics on the low brightness is large.)

In this device there is an opportunity to adjust the color balance by adjusting the shade in the color circle.

On schedules above curves Without corre. comply with the results without any correction of the color balance, and curves Corr. - The data obtained after the point shift to the position specified in the picture above. It can be seen that the change in the balance corresponds to the expected result, since the color temperature approached the standard value and ΔE on average decreased. However, it has no sense to perform a correction. Note that this feature Implemented in the option more for a tick, since there is no numerical reflection of the correction and there is no field for measuring the color balance.

Let us sum up: the screen has a high maximum brightness and has good anti-reflective properties, so the device without problems can be used outside the room even summer sunny day. In complete darkness, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable level. It is permissible to use the mode with an automatic adjustment of the brightness that works adequately. The dignity of the screen should include the absence of air gap in the screen and flicker layers, efficient oleophobic coating, good color balance and color coverage close to SRGB. In general, the screen quality can be considered high.

Camera

The front camera received a sensor with a resolution of 8 megapixel. The lens has a diaphragm F / 2.0 and a fixed focus. The shooting quality here is the average, ticking the Honor 7X self-chamber especially for what. The pictures made with a good lighting on the screen of the smartphone himself look still quite well, but when you start peering into the detail of the pictures made in the room, it is clear that it is low, the matrix is \u200b\u200bnoise and sensitivity is not enough.

The rear camera is double here, but easier than Nova 2. The main module has a 16 megapixel sensor, and the auxiliary is only 2 megapixel. The camera is equipped with a lens with a diaphragm F / 2.2, there is no stabilization.

There is no intellectual scene recognition technology, as in senior models, but everything else is present, including the "wide diaphragm" mode for blurring the background. Naturally, there is a manual mode of Pro. In manual mode, the white, focus balance, light sensitive balance sheet is running.

The camera can shoot the video in the maximum resolution of 1080r at 30 FPS. Higher regimes are absent, there is no stabilization. The shooting quality is acceptable, for this level of the smartphone is not bad, but also to take it particularly not for what. The sound with the help of sensitive microphones is written qualitatively, the system of noise cancellation of noticeable distortions does not contribute.

Roller №1 (44 MB, 1920 × [Email Protected] FPS, H.265, AAC)
Roller # 2 (32 MB, 1920 × [Email Protected] FPS, H.265, AAC)

The camera turned out to be good. The edges sometimes there are blur zones, but in general, detailing even on distant plans are very decent. With weak lighting, the camera basically copes well. It is also well able to shoot text and macro. In the pictures you can find and traces of noise cancellation, and Sharping, but all this is not striking. As a result, the camera is quite recommended for documentary and artistic shooting.

Telephone part and communication

Honor 7X Communication Features include support for data transmission at a speed of up to 300 Mbps in LTE Cat.6 networks. In the urban trait of the Moscow region, the device behaves confidently, does not lose touch in places of uncertain reception, quickly restores the connection. Bluetooth has version 4.2, a single Wi-Fi range is supported (2.4 GHz), NFC module.

The navigation module works with GPS (with A-GPS), with domestic GLONASS and with Chinese Beidou. The first satellites at a cold start are detected within tens of seconds, positioning accuracy is high. There is a built-in sensor magnetic field For the functioning of the compass.

The phone application supports Smart Dial, that is, during a set telephone number Immediately, the search first letters in contacts. Ways to configure sorting and displaying contacts Standard for the Android interface, there is a black list for unwanted contacts. There is a function of automatic recording of telephone conversations from the line. Middle power vibrations.

The smartphone does not know how to maintain in the active expectation mode both SIM cards in 4G at the same time. Here is one SIM card (not that chosen for data transmission in 4G) will always work waiting only in 2G. The interface does not allow you to select a specific SIM card to send an SMS in advance - only for voice calls and data transmission (this is a standard situation for all Huawei smartphones). Maps are working in DUAL SIM Dual Standby mode, a radio model here is one.

Software and multimedia

As a software platform, the Android OS is not the latest version 7.0 and the Huawei's own shell of the latest version of EMUI 5.1 - all the same as in others modern devices manufacturer. Naturally, there is an opportunity to update through the air (OTA).

The interface is decorated in a corporate identity acquaintance. There is a virtual button, multi-plate mode, the ability to reduce the keyboards and the working area of \u200b\u200bthe screen in size. Preset applications, as usual, a lot, some of them are useful, other obviously extra. There are several Huawei's own utilities, including a useful phone manager responsible for monitoring the system, cleaning memory, scanning and protection against viruses, spam blocking, etc.

As for the so-called "full-screen mode", which appeared thanks to the changed aspect ratio and, accordingly, an additional place on the screen, then it is not engaged by default, gaps with black stripes. It is possible to enter the settings and select for each of the applications using a "full-screen mode", and after rebooting the application will be displayed already on the entire screen.

For listening to music, it is used as usual, own audio player with a familiar interface. Previously, he didn't have any manual settings at all, and in new versions a section of Huawei Histen audio effects appeared, in which the 3D sound effect can be turned on and choose from presets of the equalizer - but all this becomes available only with connected headphones. In any case, both in the headphones, and through the speaker, the smartphone sounds quite satisfactory, nothing special does not offer anything in the sound plan, but also you won't call sound.

Microphones have good sensitivity, the recorder is quite suitable for any tasks. Built-in FM radio is present, and this can not but rejoice.

Performance

Honor 7X hardware platform is built on SOC Hisilicon KIRIN 659. The chip configuration includes eight Arm Cortex-A53 processor cores in two clusters with a maximum frequency of 2.36 and 1.7 GHz. SOC is made according to the 16-nanometer technical process. The Arm Mali-T830 (MP2) video accepter with support for the graphics API OpenGL ES 3.2 is responsible for processing graphics. Volume random access memory It is 4 GB, built-in flash memory in the case of our instance - 64 GB. Of these, 2,48 GB of RAM are free and only 48.5 GB of space on the drive, usually more than 50 GB. There are modifications of Honor 7x with a different amount of internal memory.

It is also possible to expand memory by installing microSD cards, but applications are not installed on the memory card. You can connect external flash drives in USB OTG mode.

Soc Hisilicon Kirin 659 is a relatively fresh solution intended for smartphones and middle class tablets. SOC is quite productive, Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 level, in the Antutu test, the hero of the review shows quite worthy of 60K with excess points, this is a confident average level.

KIRIN 659 provides a system sufficient speed and in real scenarios allows the smartphone to cope with any modern tasks. With games, too, there are no problems, all the games we have proven, including Injustice 2 and Mortal Kombat X, go without special slow-moving, in Lineage 2 you can also play well with comfort without delay. However, the smartphone is designed rather today, there is no noticeable reserves for years here.

Testing in complex antutu tests and Geekbench:

All results obtained by us when testing the smartphone in the most fresh versions Popular benchmarks, we have brought to the table for convenience. The table usually adds several other devices from various segments, also tested on similar recent versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the resulting dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the same comparison, it is impossible to submit results from different versions benchmarks, so many decent and actual models remain "for the scenes" - due to the fact that they at one time passed the "bar of obstacles" on previous versions test programs.

Testing a graphic subsystem in 3DMark game tests, GFXBENCHMARK and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones now it is possible to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the resolution of the rendering is fixed to 720p and is turned off by VSYNC (due to which the speed can rise above 60 FPS).

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for the benchmarks to estimate the speed of the JavaScript engine, it is necessary to always make a discount on the fact that they are significantly dependent on the browser in them, in which the comparison can be truly correct only on the same OS and browsers, and such an opportunity is available when testing not always. In the case of Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

Androbench test results for memory speed:

Heatons

Below is the heat rear Surfaces obtained after 10 minutes of battery test operation in the GFXBenchMark program:

It can be seen that the heating is lonocated in the upper part of the device, which, apparently, corresponds to the location of the SOC chip. According to the heat frame, the maximum heating was 39 degrees (at the ambient temperature of 24 degrees), it is not very much.

Video playback

To test "omnivities" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special capabilities, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats that constitute the bulk of the content available on the content network. Note that for mobile devices It is important to have the support of hardware decoding of videos at the chip level, since to process modern options due to one of the processor nuclei are most often impossible. Also, it is not necessary to wait from the mobile device of decoding everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are reduced to the table.

Further testing of video playback performed Alexey Kudryavtsev.

The MHL interface, like the Mobility Displayport, we did not find it in this smartphone, so I had to restrict ourselves to testing the image of the video files to the screen itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with one division by the frame with an arrow and a rectangle (see "Methods for testing the playback devices and displaying the video signal. Version 1 (for mobile devices)"). Screenshots with shutter speed in 1 C helped to determine the nature of the output of video files with various parameters: resolution ranged (1280 per 720 (720p), 1920 at 1080 (1080p) and 3840 at 2160 (4K) pixels) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 frames / s). In tests, we used the MX Player video player in the "hardware" mode. Test results are reduced to the table:

4k / 30p.

oK not

Note: If in both columns Uniformity and Pass Green estimates are exhibited, it means that, most likely, when viewing the films of artifacts caused by uneven alternation and passage of frames, or will not be seen at all, or their number and notice will not affect the preservation of viewing. Red markers point to possible problemsrelated to playback of relevant files.

According to the frame output criterion, the quality of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since in most cases frames (or frames of frames) may (but not obliged) to be output with more or less uniform intervals and without frames of frames. When playing video files with a resolution of 1920 to 1080 pixels (1080p) on the smartphone screen, the image of the video file is displayed exactly along the screen border, one to one by pixels, that is, in the initial resolution. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range 16-235: Unless in the shadows of a pair of shades merge with black, but all gradations are displayed in lights.

Battery life

The non-removable rechargeable battery installed in Honor 7x has a capacity of 3340 mAs - this is a good amount even today. And with such a battery, the smartphone demonstrates the results quite corresponding to its level in autonomy tests. Considering big screen With high resolution, the results are quite decent.

In real life, the device behaves in the same way as most modern smartphones: confidently lives to the evening charging, but no longer counts.

Testing was traditionally carried out at the usual level of power consumption without using the functions of energy saving.

Uninterrupted reading in the Moon + Reader program (with a standard, light theme) with a minimum comfortable level of brightness (the brightness was set to 100 cd / m²) with autolist, it lasted until a complete battery discharge 12 hours, and with unlimited viewing video in high quality (720r) with The same level of brightness through the home wi-Fi network The device operates for about 10 hours. In 3D-games mode, the smartphone can work for no more than 5 hours.

Honor 7x does not support quick charging, from a complete network adapter (2 A 5 V) The smartphone was charged for 2 hours 20 minutes with a current of 1.5 A at a voltage of 5 V. Wireless charging Smartphone also does not support.

Outcome

Prices smartphone Huawei. Honor 7X is from 299 euros (or 269 pounds). In Russia, the device began to be sold in the official retail on December 5, the recommended retail price for modifying from 64 GB flash memory is at the current moment of 17 thousand rubles. For a pretty smartphone of a popular brand with an attractive appearance, a practical all-metal hull, a high-quality 6-inch high-resolution screen and a narrow frame, as well as a completely decent hardware stuffing with good performance and support for LTE Cat.6 with a high data transfer rate, this is quite an adequate price. The smartphone does not shine with the quality of the shooting, but it would be foolish at such a price. We can also negatively select the absence of NFC (and therefore Android Pay). The rest of the Honor 7X came out quite a worthy successor of a glorious kind Huawei Honor In general, the Honor X line in particular.

Huawei / Huavay is the leading Chinese manufacturer of smartphones. At the end of 2017, Huaway accounted for 9.6% of the sales of smartphones in the world, he only gave way to Samsunga (22.8%) and Apple (15.3%). Considering that the share of Huaway on the world market is constantly growing, and Apple's share gradually falls, it can be predicted that in the coming years, Huaway will cost the sales of an apple company and will be published in the world. Unlike a variety of Chinese brands that have made a bet on budget models, Huaveway is not afraid to compete with the same Apple and Samsung in the premium models segment. To increase the attractiveness of your brand, Huaway cooperates with the already proven Western companies: Google (jointly released Nexus 6P), Leica (camera for flagship models), Gopro (exclusive QUIK mobile application for quick video processing).

Help with the choice of the optimal for the purchase of the Huavay model in 2019 will help the following overview of the best smartphones from the Chinese brand. Top 10 is made according to reviews in Yandex Market, technical specifications and the ratio of price-quality.

10 Honor 5A.

The average price in Russia is 8,000 rubles. Model August 2017 scored 68% five more reviews in Yandex Market.

Huawei first began to equip her flagships with a double camera, last year the lattice took the 7th iPhone, however, from the models of the average price segment, the double chamber can boast except Xiaomi REDMI PRO.. Returning to Honor 6x, we see that the upper sensor is a 12-megapixel matrix Sony IMX386 with a phase autofocus and LED flash, the focus rate is only 0.3 seconds. This sensor is also distinguished by an increased size of a photosensitive pixel to 1.25 nm with the insulation technology of individual Pixels Prim ISP. Thanks to this, the pictures are amazingly little color noise and very natural color reproduction. The lower monochrome sensor has 2 mp. At first glance, this is very small. Even Xiaomi Redmi Pro has a 5 MP auxiliary module, not to mention the Honor 8 flagship, where the second module has the same permission as the first - 12 Mp. However, Huawei explains that 2 MP of the lower sensor is quite enough, because His task is to capture as much as possible as possible, since monochrome matrices are much more sensitive than color. The camera folds the light from the lower sensor with the color of the top and the very high-quality photos are obtained even in low light conditions. In addition, thanks to the Honor 6x double chamber, it is able to do the same than the creators of the 7th iPhone boiled - bokeh (i.e. the ability to beautifully blurt out the back background in the photo). There is one more interesting function - Selective color fill will allow color accents on black and white photos.

The front camera 8 of the MP is equipped with a 77 ° wide-angle lens and PRIM image processing processor. There is a function of defining persons. Without autofocus, at the same time, according to reviews, she makes Selfie very high quality.

But that's not all: since P10, Huawei began to cooperate with the cult American producer Gopro video cameras. As part of GoPro's cooperation, it will release an exclusive QUIK mobile application for Huawei P10 for quick video processing. The video editor will be built into the standard EMUI shell gallery. The essence of the QUIK application is to combine photos and videos to the music on the background to create a beautiful memorable video. It is worth noting that earlier Gopro did not release applications to any android, nor for iOS.

What happened in the end? Huawei P10 uses a combination of two sensors with a diaphragm F / 2.2: monochrome, exciting information about light and color RGB. Color resolution is 12 meters, and monochrome - 20 mp. Such a combination provides the following advantages: Huawei P10 camera has a double zoom without loss of quality, it also allows you to take pictures with a blurred back background - the so-called bokeh effect. there is special regimeDeveloped by Leica specialists in which high-quality portrait photos can be made using a monochrome sensor.

1 Honor 8 32GB

The average price in Russia is 20,600 rubles. Buy Honor 8 64GB on Aliexpress can be 13.8 thousand rubles (delivery to Russia is free). The Honor Flag of the Honor family was on sale in China at the end of July, and in Russia at the end of August 2017 and today scored 78% of the five reviews in Yandex Market. In total, 2 with a small month of the third quarter of 2017, Honor 8 entered the eight of the most popular smartphones in China and took the second place among the entire Huaway models catalog (after Huawei P9).

The camera allows you to change the focus point after shooting. Professional mode offers setting the entire set of shooting parameters as in mirror cameras. The front camera received a sensor with a resolution of 8 megapixel.

Separately, it is worth noting the design of the smartphone. Without a doubt, this is the most beautiful Huawei smartphone: a glass with a mirror effect and a 2.5D roundabout is used, the side faces are made of metal, and there are several bright color solutions.

Honor 8 is a bit inferior to the new Honor 8 Pro and Huawei P10 flagships according to technical characteristics, but its cost is one and a half or two times (depending on whether to buy a model in Russia or China) is lower, therefore, by the ratio of the price-quality ratio, Honor 8 remains The best in the Huweev phones catalog. However, the approaching start of sales of Honor 9 in July 2019 can change the situation.

In the spring, Huawei pleased with the fans with the new flagship P9 Plus, which received two cameras with lenses like LEICA production. It has become a truly powerful and beautiful top device, but is distinguished by a rather big price. In April, Huawei Honor 5C was introduced, which received the same design, but characterized by a more modest filling. The cost of the smartphone is now about $ 200, and in China it can be found in 160.

The device is also known under the name Honor 7 Lite, under which is sold in some regions. There is also a version of Huawei GT3, which differs only in the preprint of a fingerprint. Its price is about 250 dollars. What is interesting, in Ukraine soldHuawei GT3. , and in Russia, some EU states, as well as China and neighboring countries with him - Honor 5C. This is due to the fact that the Honor subbrend is officially represented only in about three dozen countries. Differences between models are insignificant, but the review is devoted, first of all, the version of Huawei Honor 5C.

Features Huawei Honor 5C

According to the specified characteristics, the device fully corresponds to its price. On paper, it is a strong middle manner, and how it is in real life - read below.

Design, case materials, sizes and weight

In appearance, Huawei Honor 5C resembles the flagship P9 Plus. It is made in a metal case with the same stylist. Silver, golden and black and gray coloring options are available. The dimensions of the smartphone are 14.7x7.4 mm, the thickness is 8.3 mm, and weigh the device 156 grams. Considering the size of the screen, the indicators do not stand out against the background of similar models of other companies.

The front panel of the smartphone is devoid of hardware touch keys - they are placed on the screen. Above the display - speaker, sensor eye and front camera lens. On the perimeter, the screen ishing the chrome frame. Rear panel Contains two plastic inserts, an almost square camera lens (also with a shiny edging) and a flash. From the "older brother", the smartphone is distinguished by the location of the lens and the absence of a glossy black insert under it.

Side faces resemble metal, but made of ribbed plastic. On the lower end - the speaker and the microUSB port, on the top - 3.5 mm socket. On the left sidewall - a slot for cards, on the right - volume control buttons and power / locking.

CPU

Smartphone chipset - Hisilicon KIRIN 650, own development of the company. It is equipped with eight Cortex A53 nuclei, grouped in 2 clusters: 4 cores 2 GHz and 4 - 1.7 GHz. According to the processor part, the closest competitors of the chip are MediaTek Helio X10 / P10 and Snapdragon 616. However, the hero of the review is better in what is made on the process of 16 nm (support 28 m). Power nuclei is enough for any everyday tasks.

Graphics Huawei Honor 5C - Mali T830, consisting of two clusters. The decision is not the fastest, but modern. Even heavy games Will go to medium settings. In ANTUTU 6 chipset is gaining about 50 thousand points.

Memory

The amount of operational memory of the smartphone is 2 GB, generation LPDDR3. The amount of RAM occupied at the start is near a gigabyte. An affordable user remains 800-1000 MB of RAM. For the normal multitasking of this, it is enough, since its work more depends on optimizing memory management than from the empty space on the start of the space. With the need of the program will receive more RAM.

The drive in Huawei Honor 5C has a capacity of 16 GB, available to load the data remains approximately 10 GB of them. MicroSD memory card slot up to 256 GB is, but it is combined with a second sim card connector.

Battery

The smartphone is equipped with a non-removable battery, a capacity of 3000 mAh. Given the new technical process (as well as recalling Galaxy J7 2016, the chipset of which was created according to the standards of 14 nm), we hoped for excellent autonomy performance. But, unfortunately, the energy consumption optimization at Huawei Honor 5c is worse than the Korean. Therefore, the device demonstrates no more than just good autonomy indicators.

In the Games, the smartphone will discharge for about 5 hours. Watch the video with YouTube will work 6-7 hours, and from the memory card (on auto-road) - about 10 hours. With moderate use, you can count on 2 autonomy days. Complete memory has a current strength 1 A, charge replenishment lasts up to 3 hours.

Cameras

The smartphone is equipped with a 13 megapixel main camera from an unknown manufacturer. It could not be clarified to clarify its detailed characteristics, it is known only that the lights are revealed to f / 2. In terms of shooting, the camera is not strongly distinguished against the background of others. chinese smartphones This price category (Meizu M3, Xiaomi Redmi 3, etc.). Days snapshots are bright, dynamic range wide, the detailing is average. In the evening, light deficit affects quality, noise, artifacts, lubricant appear.

The front camera has a resolution of 8 mp, its aperture - F / 2. It is equipped with a fixed focus, so perfectly photographs in the neighboring distance, but soaps the background. The video device records in FullHD, at a speed of 30 frames per second.

Screen

The smartphone is equipped with a 5.2-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 points. It has excellent color reproduction, natural colors and a good brightness level. The viewing angles are good: the backlight becomes more fading, but the shades are not distorted. The sensor is covered with a glass with a oleophobic layer of low quality (prints remain), it is mounted on OGS technology (closely glued with the matrix).

Communications

Huawei Honor 5C has two sockets for SIM cards, both Nano format. One of them is combined with a MicroSD connector. Applicated support for networks of all relevant generations, in countries where smartphones are sold officially, there will be no problems with 3G and 4G. Wi-Fi is calculated only on a 2.4 GHz network, Bluetooth corresponds to version 4.1, also there is NFC on board. Navigation works with GPS, GLONASS and BDS satellites.

Sound

Speaker at the smartphone, despite the presence of two symmetric lattices at the bottom, only one. For the second is the main microphone. The sound quality is typical for a state employee, on the volume, it is medium, in the range - poor on bass. In the headphones, the quality of playback is also average, no more. The sound is clean, with bass, but it does not reach models with the DAC.

Operating system

Huawei Honor 5C running Android 6 OS with Emotion UI 4.1 add-in. The operating system works stably, there may be shoals on some firmware, like rare braces or the kernel failure to fall asleep (because of which it takes about 10% of the charge).

Conclusion

In addition to those mentioned at the beginning of variations, there are some more audits of the smartphone. For China, Huawei Honor 5C is made with a fingerprint scanner (like GT3), but with NFC (GT3 it is missing). In addition, the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom can choose between 2/16 and 3/32 GB of memory. This situation is typical for the Huaway company, which for different markets fit smartphones so that the markup is good and the competitiveness is to save. However, it should be remembered: By purchasing a variation for another country, you can remain without 3G or 4G, due to the difference in frequency.

Pros:

high-quality and pretty housing;
not bad front camera;
good screen;
NFC.

Disadvantages:

rained OS;
bad oleophobic coating.

Huawei Honor 5C is optimal for people who are 5 "little, and 5.5" - a lot. In this case, it will be a good alternative to Meizu products of the M3 and Xiaomi Redmi REDMI of the Third Generation. In addition, it will suit people using contactless payments and other functions requiring NFC. There are simply no specified competitors. Smartphone is universal, so you will like those who use the device in mixed mode, not running on separate tasks (photo, music, games, movies, etc.).

A couple of years ago, Huawei released a P6 smartphone, which could boast a very thin case and stylish, strict appearance, which won considerable popularity, even despite not the topical characteristics. Huawei continues the line and the most relevant at the moment is the flagship Huawei P8, which was represented in the spring and finally got to us.

What is it?

Huawei P8 is a thin, stylish smartphone with a pretty compact (according to current standards) with a metal case, a "convenient" 5.2-inch screen with fullHD resolution and one of newest processors Companies, 64-bit, eight-year Hisilicon Kirin 930.

What is it interesting?

P7 predecessor was very mediocre in terms of technical characteristics And he was glass on both sides. In the current flagship, Huawei approached the question: the productivity closely approaches the flagship apparatus. The case has retained the same recognizable common features: a strict shape and a small thickness, while much more metal is used, it has become more pleasant and practical.

What's in the box?

The box looks interesting and unusual. It is small and under the outer cover - plastic plug. Under it, an edge outside, like a book on the shelf, a smartphone itself is installed. All accessories are sawing on small boxes:

Included: smartphone, power supply, USB cable, headset, paper clip for retrieving trays and instructions.

The presence of a headset is rather unusual. Recently, manufacturers do not consider it necessary to supply it in the kit. The headset itself is very simple and no different high quality Sound, which is not surprising: decent headphones will be significantly added to the total cost, while at the same time the user is quite in the power of independently acquire good headphones.

What is interesting appearance?

Fully glass in the smartphone is only the front panel, a small area near the chamber with antennas and strip at the bottom of the case. Smartphone has a strict rectangular shape with minimally rounded corners. In addition to the screen, the front camera is located in front of the front camera, sensors, conversational speaker and the LED indicator of events. No buttons under the screen, only assecked:

The indicator is small, but noticeable, shifted to the right edge. Its work can be configured:

The case is really very thin: only 6.4 mm, the ends have snaps and a slightly rounded shape. On the right end, the power button, volume rocker and both tray under the SIM card and MicroSD are placed:

The buttons are also made of metal, fit perfectly, do not ride, very comfortable and pleasant to use:

From above, there is a 3.5-mm headphone output and noise reduction microphone:

On the left end, no functional elements are provided:

On the bottom face - microUSB and two symmetric grilles. Under one of them there is a conversational microphone, under the second - external speaker. Despite the fact that it is one in the smartphone, the quality and volume of the sound very pleasant surprised:

The back cover is almost completely metallic. There is a thin plastic strip below, from above - a small insert with the camera module:

13-megapixel main camera with SONY module, optical image stabilization and double LED flash:

Two separate tray for Nanosim, one of which can be used for MicroSD memory card:

The smartphone is superbly assembled, just nothing to complain about. All items are perfectly fitted, nothing is staggering, a lot of metal. Completely, beautiful and practical. At the presentation Huawei he mentioned that the P8 body was made of a solid piece of aluminum, 810 minutes takes place. There are four color options, judging by the information on the official website, we will have two: champagne and titanium gray. We had an overview of the first option. I think that he would like more girl, gray - more male.

How good is the screen?

The smartphone uses a 5.2-inch IPS display without an air layer with a fullHD resolution, a pixel density of 424 PPI and thin frames. Very easy to use the screen diagonal and permission in which the pixels cannot be considered. The correct solution: QHD, with such sizes, it makes no sense, only loads the system and discharges the battery faster. Huawei effectively used the front panel of the smartphone: the ratio of the area of \u200b\u200bthe screen to the total is 78.3%, which is a very good indicator. The screen immediately passes the film, the presence of which is practically not noticed. The viewing angles are maximal, the oleophobic coating is also available, good quality. As for the reserve of brightness in "field" conditions, it is difficult to say, the weather is not happy with the abundance of the sun, so that we will confess the colorimeter in this matter.

Multitouch is supported up to 10 touches:

Colorimeter showed very good results on brightness and contrast: 365.371cD / m 2, brightness of the black field 0.396 kD / m 2, and contrast 923: 1. With color reproduction, a rather strange situation. "On the eye" color looks bright and nice, the hardware measurement showed a rather strong roll in blue:

If desired, you can adjust such a branded utility:

Comparison with competitors:

Device name	White field brightness, cD / m 2	Black field brightness, cD / m 2	Contrast
Huawei P8.	365.371	0.396	923:1
HTC One M9.	368.177	1	733:1
Lenovo Vibe Z2.	425.699	0.574	742:1
Xiaomi Mi4.	423.5	0.64	662:1
Sony Xperia Z3.	359	0.59	608:1

How are things with performance?

The Huawei P8 uses an eight-year 64-bit Hisilicon KIRIN 930's own spill processor with two blocks of four Cortex-A53 cores with a clock frequency to 2.0 GHz and 1.5 GHz, the amount of RAM is 3 GB. The built-in flash memory is 16 GB, a little more than 10 GB is available, you can add more using the microSD memory card, but then the SIM card will remain only one. A common solution with a universal tray. There is a proprietary application with performance control and energy consumption:

No shell brakes and applications, and can not be. Everything "flies", in idle state is free of about 2 GB of RAM, which is very pleased, it seems that in Huawei, with all responsibility, it came to the question of the optimization of the shell. All modern games also go without problems:

Heating - depending on the application / game. On need For Speed. No limits The smartphone remains cold, Mortal Kombat X is very significantly loading the system and the smartphone is noticeably warmed up evenly throughout the area, although the Snapdragon 810 temperatures are still far away. With the rest of the "hardware" everything is in order: the GPS module quickly finds satellites, it takes about 20 seconds to the cold start. As we have already written, the external speaker is good, both in volume and in quality, the vibrating alert is also quite powerful, felt in jeans pocket. As for sound in headphones, he is very good and most users will be satisfied with them.

The capacity of the battery is 2680 mAh, to shove more into such a thin housing difficult. In fact, no miracles happened, autonomy does not apply to strong sides Smartphone. In everyday mode (20-30 minutes of conversations, almost permanent connection to the network, several photos and about an hour of games) The smartphone lives to the end of the day, the video loses about 9 hours.

For those who want to know more

As we already wrote above, Huawei P8 uses a 64-bit Hisilicon Kirin 930 (4 ARM Cortex-A53 1.5 GHz and 4x GPU Mali-T624. It is performed on the TSMC capacities of 16-nm technical process that is supplemented with 3 GB of RAM. In fact, the smartphone can be with competitors for Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 and MediaTek MT6795, although it does not reach samsung flagshipswho this year ahead thanks to very successfulExynos 7420.The results of benchmarks:

Is the interface convenient?

The smartphone works on Android 5.0.1 OS with EMUI 3.1 shell, in the future promise to updates before Android 6.0 Marshmallow. As already mentioned above, the shell is very well optimized and works very quickly.

All applications are placed on the desktops, there is no separate menu for them. Widgets, folders are supported:

The curtain consists of two main bookmarks: switches icons (can be edited) and notifications:

The button of the buttons can be edited, there is a button to call the upper curtain:

And a set of things useful applicationsstarting with weather, voice recorder with various modes of work, timer, application manager and ending with exotic, like a magnifier, mirror and director mode, in which you can connect to 3 devices and "mount" in real time video from what Each removes:

What about the camera?

The main chamber has a resolution of 13 megapixels, a Sony module with a four-color RGBW-matrix, optical image stabilization, a diaphragm F / 2.0 and a dedicated ISP processor. Front camera - 8 megapixel.The camera interface is pretty visual, but all of the settings are also enough, they are scattered along different menus. There are modes of serial shooting, HDR, panorama, a selection of a successful frame, a photo with an audio light and post-focus (the camera makes several photos with a different focal length). You can make a quick photo directly from a blocked smartphone: you need to press the volume button twice. A snapshot takes and displays the time that it took it:

Photos are really good quality, even with bad lighting and in the evening:

Video in FullHD, specially shot in the evening. Quality is very sensible:

In the dry residue

It seems that Huawei when creating P8 was guided not by chase for incredible permissions or diagonals of screens and transcendent performance, and the desire to make an excellent and balanced smartphone and it turned out. Huawei P8 boasts a superbly assembled metal thin case, modern powerful (albeit not the highest) filling, a good display, the main chamber and a comfortable, thoughtful shell. From controversial moments, it is possible to allocate the mediocre time of autonomous work and substantial heating of the entire smartphone at high loads. Smartphone is about to be on sale for 13000 UAH.

5 reasons to buy Huawei P8:

Excellent metallic thin case;
high performance;

Huawei smartphone I was going to buy last year, but somehow it happened that I saw a golden Samsung. And changed his mind. And after a year and a half, fate again brought me to me with this Chinese brand, since Mom wanted my phone my phone and refuse mom on the mother's day simply impossible

I saw this smartphone in Mediamarct, at a seasons price 12222, went home to google reviews, and returned - no, everything is booked and only showcases. As a result, I overrogged and overloaded a bunch of smartphones of about this price category (up to 17 thousand, approximately), but the image of Ascend P6 did not leave me, also the young man pinched that after the subtleties and design of this smartphone, the rest seems to be thick and ungually.

As a result, I acquired for 12 and a half on the site unknown to me before. And I will say that for this money is just a miracle phone!

He is unreal thin, everyone who took him in the hands admired. Design - Brother IphonaBut looks more graceful, and near 4, and near 5. Metal, aluminum, painted. According to reviews, the back is scratched, so I try to wear in the bumper. Screen 4.7 inches, convenient and on the Internet to climb, and read the book, And to play to the toy. I teach him traffic police tickets and lead home accounting "without departing from the box office" - everything is fine and very convenient.

In configuration:

uSB charging with adapter to the outlet,
the headset (tolerable, with Samsung I had a similar plan)
and silicone bumper.

Moreover, the bumper is very good quality and is needed, since I have not yet found the covers to this model in a free sale. The film also uses the one that was initially. Markaya and glossy, but alternatives again did not yet find only if cut.

The filling is not bad, the phone is smart, but all-all-all inside is purely Chinese and unknown. Plants against zombies and Fruto Ninja are quite good. There are lighting and approximation sensors, due to them "Fishechki" - you can answer the call to attach the phone to the ear, reject the call, turning, calming the call, taking the phone in the hand, and change the desktop wallpaper, slightly shake the phone. A plus there is a "work in gloves" mode, for Russian winter an extremely necessary thingalready checked in practice

The main chamber is good, with even lighting perfectly focuses, the macro is both perfect. The front is also quite nothing, but I did not notice the photo that it was 5 megapixels, I and 2 MP photographed approximately, if without backlight. Video is also decent. Minus - the location of the camera, constantly finger trying to close it.

Examples of pictures for artificial lighting:

Preset applications It is quite suitable: both music, browser, and dispatcher, and radio. Wi-Fi catches perfectly, at home anywhere you can wander with him. The network is slightly lowering by the signal than on my Samsung, but no one complained that I am outside the network.

In general, I still noticed so much. As for many, the jack for headphones is not too convenient for me. On the bumper under them there is a special recess, but in this position in your pocket, for example, they do not hold. And I keep the miracle cap just in case at home, as it's most often with headphones outside. Plus for an incomprehensible reason, from time to time, one toy crashes ... Maybe the glitch of the application, however, it is updated version.

According to Charging - for me is unusual, which is enough for just a day, but if you read-call-play-to surf on the Internet on any other smartphone, everything will be the same. At least owners and iPhones, and Samsung are charged their gadgets daily.

The problem of the case decided on
