Which camera better? Honor or Galaxy W?

I am a SGW user, so far the one thing that I don't like about the camera on SGW is that it is unable to zoom while it is set to full resolution. Simply put, while your setting is on the highest (5MP), you will not be able to zoom. Same applies for 4m, zooming is only availabe starting from 3.2 MP. Video recording, however, was rather smooth on 720p. And due to the TouchWiz and Gingerbread, it uses up pretty much of your memory, clearing the ram via task manager would only give you around 100mb spare ram to be used. Relying too much on a third party app such as TaskKiller to kill applications would also drain the battery even faster.

BUT, however after rooting and using a custom rom from XDA, the phone is now pretty much living up to expectations. Clear memory via task manager will now give me approximately 200mb ram to spare, twice as much as before =)

I am trying out this ICS right now. spent some time looking for english language option. Face recognition is fast and seamless. Camera improved a bit from few shots i took. Overall reaponsiveness seems more or less the same

no marketplace. and for some reason, the huawei backup app doesnt restore: lost my contacts, sms, etc.make manual, not huawei app, backups before proceeding

Hi ashburn98,

Could you also include a ram usage screenshot by the huawei honor for comparison purpose? Both ICS and Gingerbread. Thank you in advance =)

Anyway scoring 3.8k antutu with stock rom is a splendid result.

I am using my huashi honor without screen protector. I knew it was gorilla glass from onset but not dared to actually test it. tongue.gif
Ram usage? Wouldn't that depends on what apps you installed?

True, but when I've just bought the SGW, the ram available to be used is already around a 100mb. So, I would really like to know how's the Huawei Honor ram usage, since I heard not much bloatwares are installed.

This is the Global latest version, I believe it should be the one you needed.

However anyone know how to backup our current version with Factory reset ? Since this is the only version we can root...

Thanks for the info, 230MB at startup is already a good number on stock rom.

Source? I haven't seen any source which states that Honor is using Gorilla glass. Better to keep or change screen protector, better be safe than sorry.

Also noticed that touchscreen sensitivity is inconsistent as some others noted. But coming from an old android phone (samsung spica), the Honor's touchscreen is fine for me

On slashgear, it states in the hardware section that huawei honor has gorilla glass.

Source here =)
