after few days as honor user....

i must say, it was impressive indeed in terms build quality....same par on htc build quality...u won't feel plasticky feel like most samsung devices....hence it would feel heavier than Iphone 4 (hell yeah i like solid feel)....
well done to huawei 

Hardware wise,
yes, i believe many ppl eyeing what capable of single core 1.4Ghz compared to 1Ghz dual core...
fyi,it equipped Adreno 205 can do most of 3d games due to snapdragon procs compatibility.
(if you're hardcore gamer, get a sg S2)

Memory,
Honor comes with 1GB rom, 2GB internal, & 8GB swappable memory.
1GB rom are sufficient to install apps from market without hasle unlike 128MB or 256MB....

Battery 1930mah,
a single charged will enough to feed your 12 hour usage on data/wifi, video playback + some gaming session.
battery efficiency 
oh yeah, its Li-Po battery 

Speaker,
sound a bit lose compared htc crispy loudspeaker,still very loud.
however it can solved, tweaked through native 3rd party apps.

Display,
pixel sharpness are good enough to see small fonts,
color display i won't say is good due to normal TFT lcd display, eventually you will notice some color fade if u compare to amoled display. (my previous device HTC Desire Amoled does better in this part)

Camera,
8MP a letdown in my opinion, i'm expected more actually.
No touch focus, (Just auto focus on centre spot)
No manual iso adjustment,
Can't disable shutter sound itself (only way to does it, set to silent mode on phone)

Conclusion:
i pay 1k to buy this device,
i nvr put high hope on it since sell off my htc desire first 
i just check through online only, not even check out the actual sample unit Honor on retails store.
(buy 1st, test later concept) risky
thats my opinion & review 
no regret.
