News & Reviews:   honor 5C

This is not the first Honor phone that has passed through our labs. We have seen the bigger brother Honor 5X getting great comments from our reviewers, and who can forget the flagship specced Honor 7 that was priced like a mid-ranger?

The Honor 5C is the latest model to come from the China based company, and what it brings to the table is a combination of good features (5.2 inch Full HD screen, Kirin 650 quad-core processor, 2GB RAM) with a nice looking body that features a metal back – all for under RM 800. Does it deliver? Lets find out in this review.

In our previous article about how Honor 5C's Kirin 650 processor saves power consumption, we know it's equipped with a 16 nm (nanometer) FinFET employing the "bigLITTLE" architecture on its SoC. But what does 16 nm mean? What is FinFET? Read on to find out more!

This week, quite a few official announcements happened with the Honor 8 arriving with its rumoured 2.5D glass front and back, the ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser and ZenFone 3 Max getting their official marching orders in Vietnam while Samsung came out with their Galaxy J Max, Galaxy J2, Galaxy J1 Ace Neo, Galaxy On5 Pro, Galaxy On7 Pro, Galaxy S7 edge Olympic Edition and UFS microSDs. LEAGOO announced their affordable shock-proof metal M5 smartphone for $59.99 (RM237) while Final Fantasy 7 was announced for Android 19 years after it was first released.

Did you know that since the pre-order of honor 5C on 20 June, more than 9000 units units have been sold? It is indeed a rousing response from its honor fans, so as an appreciation towards its honor fans who pre-ordered the device via VMall Malaysia and Lazada Malaysia, honor Malaysia is topping up their purchased honor 5C with an add-on gift - an honor selfie stick worth RM78. The gift will be shipped with the pre-ordered honor 5C by the respective e-commerce platforms.
