The soc should be 6582 instead of 6589. A big competitor for hongmi

82 or 89 better?  sweat.gif

82 is a revise from 89, slight bump in speed.

Currently its only available for online order only. Seems like honor is following xiaomi footstep to release phone online only for the moment after branching off from hua wei.

This phone is basically an upgraded g700 at a lower selling price on hardware and EMO UI. From Honor progress since last December till now, its has no intention at all to release Honor branded phone out of china. Its proven by the fact where huawei media X1 which just announced in MWC Barcelona, which cost 399 euros with LTE support, but in china, there a same 7 inch phablet with same spec with the brand 榮耀 X1 (Honor X1) selling in Huawei Vmall for 1799 yuan with 3g WCDMA connectivity. So for Huawei branding ones you going to pay rm1.8k+ with 4g and Honor ones just cost you rm900+ with 3g, where the rest of the phablet spec is all the same. You could ask yourself if the LTE connectivity is worth rm900 extra or not.

So for those which wait or hope that it will be available locally through huawei, I suggest you guys get it directly from china or through online store such as taobao or ali express. Honor 3C WCDMA version is available around 210 usd in ali express which included the cost of fedex shipping

And be warned that Honor branded phone might not have GApps installed by default, as its currently only meant for china market only.

if you can bear the warranty. :-)
nice information.  if that so, i need to wipe this item from my list.  huawei g700 only. no other phone try to compete. so sad.  5" below phone, dual sim, 2gb ram. (big battery is a bonus)
*
To be honest I dont worry much on warranty issues, as I dont think phone will spoil easily unless its your own mistake, such as drop. From my experience of more than 15 years with handphone, never had a phone went for warranty. Even my 7 years old SE W960i still working good now, just battery getting weak only

As for the GApps part, I not too sure if its present by default, since certain phone will come with different os customization. Take zopo and thl for eg, those sold in china came with own customize os, such like yun os for zopo and tang dou for thl, but those sold in international market. WCDMA version will usually come with GApps. So its best to check up with the seller on this.

If you willing to spend bit more, you could find octa core phone at around usd 260+. I just order myself 1 thl t200c for 262usd with shipping.

Warranty also not an issue, just a lot logistic company not accept mobile phone shipment.
Now about RM650 with shipping to malaysia, possible wait it drop till RM600 then can order already
*
Honestly rm650 is already a good bargain, dont think much on to get it lower, as default price of 1k yuan already around rm550 after conversion. Majority online seller such like those in taobao will usually mark up selling price by around 100 to 200 yuan, which make the phone minimum at around 1.1 - 1.2k yuan

Unless you could get it directly through vmall or authorized web reseller at default price and get someone to bring it back to Malaysia, else I dont think rm600 is kinda possible.

Why put a big a$$ HONOR logo at the back sweat.gif . Hopefully they'll use the huawei logo as it's more well known than honor.

This is because honor no longer a series under huawei, but a new branding which focus on internet sales like hongmi. A same phone will price differently when branded with huawei or honor, where mediapad x1 & honor x1 will be a good example

thanks.  huawei malaysia won't bring it according to insider.
guess will leave it to huawei honor 3x.
or ship the item here.
looking at the most affordable phones, the coolpad f1 sounds good. octacore at 888yuan. just wait for the wcdma version.
*
Not sure there will actually be one or not, even if it will, wcdma version will usually price slight higher. If you really interested on the phone, best order it online instead of endless wait. RM600+ for a quad core with 2gb ram is kinda reasonable to be honest.

patient better bro. haha. wait for the right moment before switch to a new gear.  anyway hows your order?
arrive already?

Still in processing since its stated a 15 days processing duration. I not too worry bout it since it will arrive as it should

Its not bout patience but getting what you need at the right timing as phone changes are rapid. If forever waiting for the best deal, in the end most likely will end up getting nothing tongue.gif, but also good as you could save back some cash biggrin.gif

Anyone got this phone already. Saw the spec and seem good contender with Moto G but android jelly bean.
*
I don't actually think there very big difference on jelly bean vs kit kat la, as honor 3c already had 2gb ram by default. This phone is basically an updated g700 at a lower price point, which you could get it online for 195 USD with shipping. Reason it's not popular due to no official channel available for it in local, where the only source to obtain one is through online channel.

And thanks to the fierce price war now in China for offering Octa core at sub 1k yuan, this make honor 3c spec not that attractive anymore. With the same pricing, you could now get coolpad halo f1, Octa core 1.7ghz with 2gb ram and 8gb ROM, 5 inch ltps gorilla glass, 13 & 5 mp combo cam.

This video is kinda dated already, and the major comparison is actually hongmi and honor 3c, where the coolpad f1 use is still an engineering sample. Also in terms of performance, coolpad f1 shouldnt be put together with the other 2, even though the pricing is similar during that stage. It should be use to compare to the honor 3x play edition and hongmi note.

But since its wcdma version make appearance 1st, its already scoring compare to the other 2.
