Huawei Launches Honor 4 Play, An Ultra Affordable 4G Phone

There has been an influx of great 3G and 4G smartphones in the market after the introduction of the new technologies in Pakistan. The price barrier to entry is quite low (just recently we covered a list of 3G phones you can buy under PKR 10,000 here) and the packages offered by the telcos are quite reasonable as well.

Keeping up tradition, Huawei has launched a new 4G enabled smartphone called Honor 4 Play. The smartphones comes with a 5 inch IPS display with a resolution of 720×1280. Under the hood, it’s powered by a 64 bit Quad Core 1.2GHz processor (Snapdragon 410) and 1GB of RAM.

The Honor 4 Play will run Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and will support both 3G and 4G connectivity.

Other features include an 8MP front camera (with autofocus, LED flash), a 2MP secondary camera, 8GB internal memory and a 2000mAh battery. It has not yet been confirmed whether it will support expandable storage. The phone will also have Dual SIM support.

The pricing for Pakistan has not been confirmed yet — neither we know about its launch date in Pakistan — but it is going on sale in China for around 130 USD (roughly PKR 13,000).

Looking at the price and the offered specs, it seems like Huawei is dead set on locking the lower end Android smartphone market. With offerings and price points bordering the ‘hard to believe’ territory, we don’t think they will have much trouble doing that.

  • Huawei is really making some great effort to strong its possition in the market. I am currently using honor3c which is a really awesome phone but this honor 4 play will make me much more imprese if there will be external storage too.

    Loved huawei. They are making it possible.

    • Bro i am also using Honor 3C but it have an advantage that it have 2GB RAM whereas this phone have 1GB RAM. Secondly if I am not wrong it is with 5MP from Camera it have 2MP.

      But this set is with NFC and 4G LTE

    • Tell me it’s camera isn’t horrible? Which phone you can compare the results? Also battery life while using mobile Internet and sound through headphones?

    • Do you like honor 3c? How is the battery and how strong it is when it falls is it of good quality like Samsung give advice. Please!!

  • Zabardast set :)

    The main thing is the storage 8GB and enough and Qmobile most sets are 4GB storage.

    Also 4G supported – awesome.

  • Does anyone know what’s its 3G (21mbps or 42mpbs) and 4G (100mbps or 150mbps) modem speed?

    • Do you like honor 3c? How is the battery and how strong it is when it falls is it of good quality like Samsung give advice.

      • IT is very fast also battery timing is good can give 1 day.Dropped it 2 times accidentally but nothing happened set is still working perfect in medium range don’t ever go for samsung.Their crappy touchwiz UI destroy the cellphone and uses alot of RAM.In Huawei Honor 3C 1.3 GB Ram always free even when running apps.Unless you are purchasing Samsung flaship device then it is worth it otherwise all their medium range handsets are useless.
