My review of the Honor 3C.

For RM499 it is fighting in a league above it's price band. As an avid smartphone fan, I've been changing phones just to review and to test out it's performance for the price.

Personally prior to the launch of Honor 3C, my personal bottom line phone is the Nexus 4. And at current used price of around RM600-700, I think it is the phone to get for a good overall Android experience. The Samsung S3, and HTC One X is pretty OK but does have its noticeable lags.

I've been using the Honor 3C as my daily driver for a about 2 weeks. And I gotta say I'm impressed. Day to day operation is pretty fluid. Don't expect Snapdragon 600 and above performance but for what it is a mediatek quad core. It is mighty decent. Especially if you are in the market for a dual sim phone.

How my phone is setup,
Stock unrooted.
GEL launcher installed.
Google Keyboard installed.
Most used browser chrome - 60+ open tabs and still smooth.
Games playing.
Real Racing 3
Frontline Commando 2.
Both games are handled pretty decent by this phone.

Camera
Pretty OK rear camera when it is bright. Though autofocus don't seem to be focusing sharply. Dimmed lighting or dark situations - not as good as HTC One, Sony Z1. Better performing than the nexus 4 camera - which is OK for a basic camera.
Front camera - selfie cam.. Very nice 5mp camera. And pretty wide angle.

Battery.
Decent - able to last 1 day for my usage. Screen On Time about 5-7 hours depending on gaming or not.

Screen
Bright, one of the best in price. 720p display. I know I've been spoiled by the FHD screens in the market, but this 720p screen is perfectly usable.

Overall, the convenience of having a pretty decent performance dual sim phone for RM500.

I'm excited to see what next year's RM500 phone could do. Probably specced as good as our current Snapdragon 800.

If you think about getting a dual sim phone. This is it.
If you think about giving family a starter smart phone. If you want a decent phone for your money. If all you wanna spend on a phone right now is RM500. This is it.
