OVERVIEW: Honor 4C Pro - long-playing smartphone for minimalists

Our editorial staff was already familiar with smartphones Honor line. Acquaintance was a pleasant, another sample was awaited with pleasure.

Honor 4C Pro - a budget smartphone that does not claim to be the leader or a luxury model. It is designed rather to those consumers who are not addicted to novelties and do not go crazy with clever gadgets, but understand that without a good smartphone anywhere today.

The appearance, display and ergonomics

We got a model golden color. Probably the best color scheme of the series, because in this case, the plastic case does not look cheap. Indeed, from a distance it could be mistaken for aluminum, but it is a purely visual impression, it is created by texture pattern on the back cover. Metal body in there, although the edge smartphone and chromed.

Plastic itself is not perfectly smooth, so the smartphone is not going to slip out of his hands. On the back cover are not visible fingerprints, which can not be said about the screen. Last spoiled instantly, so the protective film - compulsory acquisition.

Screen size - 5 inches, you can control with one hand. Now many have forgotten, as it is convenient.

It is difficult to say something special about the screen, which is simply good. Resolution - 1280 × 720, IPS-matrix - with wide viewing angles. The backlight is adjusted automatically by a light sensor. Looking ahead, I will say that the same meager characteristics and describe the sound: It's fine, just fine.

Let's go back to the exterior. On the front panel there is no buttons - touch control, that is, almost the entire front panel - is the screen. Minimalism in design appears on all sides.

On the left side face - volume buttons and on. Bottom - connector microUSB, microphone, top - Audio. And yet. Chrome verge nothing broken, and it is also a plus in the treasury of appearance. Such a dosage of keys makes an inexpensive smartphone more attractive than it could be.

All slots for SIM-cards (which can be two) and memory card are hidden under a removable cover.

Honor does not support the mass striving for weight loss: the smart phone is not ultra-thin and ultra-light does not. And that's fine. At least noticeable that in his hand phone. And drop it's not so bad.

special battery

Slenderness Honor 4C Pro sacrificed not for the sake of banal economy, but for the battery capacity of 4000 mAh. Rather big figure, which in itself is impressive. But in practice, still better. This long-running smartphone, very long lasting.

Let me give a concrete example, which surprised me. After testing all the functions, games, watching video, I put down the smartphone aside ahead of the weekend and had the time of digital detox. The charge was at a level of 58%. Two days Honor was in passive mode: take a couple of short calls, sent alerts. The smartphone was connected to Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth supported most of the time, used to view mail.

On Monday morning, the battery charge - 43%. That is two days, even if carried out in economy mode, the battery is discharged by 15%.

With moderate use smartphone lasts two days. For special cases include power-saving mode that allows you to stretch the time of the smartphone. Of course, it's not for playing or recording video, but do not store up energy for these activities.

Plus, this energy can be more, and share, using the smartphone as an external battery for other devices.

camera

Main camera - 13 megapixel, although we understand that the number of pixels is not the main thing. In Honor 4C Pro other indicators operate on image quality. Lens with five lenses, for example.

The smartphone is no filter car, only a few standard. Available to change the basic settings, but it's still not a cameraphone: Honor 4C Pro was created explicitly for mobile photography competition. Pictures with smartphone will be superb in social networks, but the wallpaper of them are blind.

The chip smartphone - quick launch camera app right from the Lock screen. That is, you see the situation, worthy to capture it, put things in the smartphone and double-click on the Volume Down button - the picture is. If you like to catch unusual moments, you will appreciate how nice not to waste precious seconds to download the application. After all, during this time things can change, and disappear frame. So, with the Honor 4C Pro everything is under control.

Front camera - 5MP. Naturally, self-adornment on your selfie. However, the camera work - this is such a characteristic that it is best to show.

Of the additional features can be identified that the camera responds to voice commands. Say «Smile» - and is ready to photograph. This is convenient, since any additional movement of his hands somehow interferes. And to deal with it, we need a powerful system of stabilization (which will lead to higher prices for equipment) or here is an elegant solution. Less movement, less shaking, better pictures.

Video is recorded only in HD-quality. Settings Set small, but there is only the most necessary. Frankly, few people use all the possibilities of shooting on a smartphone, so if you are recording video is not for the sake of artistic value, it makes no sense to chase extra bonus. you pay for what you will need in Honor 4C Pro.

Performance, memory, and system

Inside smartphone MT6735 processor and quad-core. We can not say that the smartphone performance shows miracles, but to say that the device is bad, it is impossible. During the testing time, no brakes is not found - and this is important, what can be. Honor 4C Pro switched between applications without delay, and in games defeat not fall down to insufficient image processing speed.

RAM is 2 GB, internal - 16 GB. a microSD slot allows you to increase it up to 128 GB, so the lack of space does not threaten you.

As used Android 5.1 operating system with the shell EMUI 3.1 Lite, which all too strives for minimalism: all unnecessary actions are reduced to access applications. The fact that the camera is called the button, we have already mentioned. From the lock screen starts flashlight, calculator, voice recorder. Just not spending unlock, you can control the music player.

The shell is not the application menu (never understood, why do you need it), all the icons located on the desktop. Set of boxes - standard: a necessary and popular.
