While we recently reported that the Huawei honor 7 and a number of Huawei and Honor smartphones are going to receive the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update, new reports indicate that the honor 7, 6 Plus, 6, 4X and 4C could get said update as soon as February 2016. This rumour comes courtesy of an Honor India tweet, so it is likely going to be official. No word yet on the Huawei smartphones but we could see said updates around that time as well.

Honor Malaysia recently held their first Anniversary celebrations with the launch of the Honor 6 Plus and Honor 4C smartphones. Priced at RM1399, the Honor 6 Plus offers a unique dual rear camera setup, 5.5-inch display and 1.8GHz octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 925 processor. Other tech specs include 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, 8MP front camera, 4G LTE Cat6 connectivity, an IR blaster and a metal frame design much like the Honor 6. The Honor 4C on the other hand is priced from RM529 with a 64-bit 1.2GHz octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 620 processor, 2GB RAM, 8GB storage, 5-inch display at 720 x 1280 pixel resolution, 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera and 2550 mAh. Both will be available from 29 April 2015 from 3.08pm on VMALL.my but do check out the hands-on photos in this article.

While the Honor 4C smartphone has already been more or less confirmed for tomorrow's upcoming Honor Malaysia 1st Year celebrations, rumours indicate that a number of other Honor 4C devices could also be coming as well. With the Honor 4C coming in with a 5-inch display, a leaked picture reveals a larger Honor 4C Note and Honor 4C Max. While the Honor 4C will retain the same look as the Honor 4X with similar tech specs like a 64-bit octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 620 processor, 2GB of RAM and 8GB storage, tech specs for the Honor 4C Note and Honor 4C Max have not been revealed yet. We expect the Honor 4C Note to go for a 5.7-inch display while the Honor 4C Max goes for a 6-inch to 7-inch display. As always with such rumours, do take this with a pinch of salt, but we should find out more very soon.

In conjunction with their first Anniversary Celebrations, Honor Malaysia will be launching their new dual-camera Honor 6 Plus and Honor 4C smartphones for Malaysia on 28 April 2015. While you can still register up until 6pm today for the Anniversary Celebration, only 30 lucky winners will be selected but there are guaranteed door gifts. The new Honor 6 Plus on the other hand offers a unique 13MP dual rear camera setup, 5.5-inch display and 1.8GHz octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 925 processor. Other tech specs include 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, 8MP front camera, 4G LTE connectivity, an IR blaster and a metal frame design much like the Honor 6. The Honor 4C on the other hand is likely to place in between the Honor 3C Lite and the Honor 4X. Featuring a similar tough polycarbonate backside the Honor 4C shrinks the screen down to a 5-inch display but retains a HD 720 x 1280 pixel resolution. It will likely still pack in a 64-bit 1.2GHz octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 620 processor with 2GB RAM and 8GB storage along with a 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. The smaller screen will also mean a slightly smaller battery at 2550 mAh. Stay tuned and we may have some hands-on with the new devices just next week. 

With the recent announcement and release of the Honor 4X for RM619 on pre-order it looks like we'll soon be seeing a lower-end version of the smartphone in the form of the Honor 4C which recently made an appearance at China's TENAA. Tech specs include a slightly slower but still octa-core 1.2GHz processor (probably still the 64-bit Kirin 620), 2GB of RAM, 8GB storage and a smaller 5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixel resolution. The cameras remain the same though with a 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. For the looks of the pictures, this Honor 4C smartphone retains the same cross-thatch design on the cover as the Honor 4X and retains the same capacitive function keys as the Honor 4X. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet, but with the Honor 4X retailing from RM619 to RM699 we assume that the Honor 4C would go for around RM499 to RM599, slotting in between the Honor 3C Lite and the Honor 4X or perhapseven replacing the Honor 3C.
