Huawei Announces the Metallic Mid-range Honor 5C

Its mid-range collection is arguably one of the reasons why Huawei is booming these days. After phones like the Honor 5X, it is back with the new Honor 5C which follows pretty much the same design-wise and also in terms of providing bang for the buck.

Here too you get a brushed metallic body, neat for a mid-range phone with an 8.3mm thickness and 156 gram weight, accommodating a fingerprint scanner on the back. The display is a 5.2” IPS LCD with 1080p FHD resolution. Optional dual-SIM connectivity is also found.

Under the hood is Huawei’s own home-baked Kirin 650 processor, which sits a bar below the high-end 950 and 955, and consists of two low-power quad-core Cortex-A53 CPUs. That is accompanied by 2 GB of LPDDR3 RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, which is expandable.

There is a duo of 13/8 MP cameras to be found. Connectivity options include FM Radio, Bluetooth 4.1, GPS, GLONASS and Wi-Fi b/g/n, but none of the high-end perks like NFC, USB Type-C, etc.

Battery capacity is set at 3,000 mAh, while the phone runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Huawei EMUI 4.1. Pricing is set at $140 for the 3G model, and $155 for the 4G LTE model in China, but the same pattern wouldn’t likely be followed elsewhere.

  • Huawei Pakistan will inflate prices here as well. Just like honor 5x is being sold for 200 usd in USA and here for approx 290 usd. Huawei and Lenovo both are milking Pakistani consumer.

      • govt taxes are 25% to 30%. And China is next to Pakistan so transport charges must be low. These Chinese companies are just doing nanipur thing here.

    • Yep, they’ll price around Rs. 25,000.

      Y6 pro is prices at Rs.19,500 so they’ll never price 5c below or near this price.

  • going to cost in upwards of 25k :’D

    damn shame to be living in this pothole of inflation and robbery !

    • Infinix sell there product at same price in Pakistan so why not Huawei? Anyway I am using zero 3 so far it is good.
