Drop down menu from the outside main screen , allows you to access shortcuts. Adjust Brightness etc...
20140429_171601_zps1f7e0b6f.jpg


Internal Rom of Honor 3C its 8GB, 5.47G of space for user, its not really enough but theres a expandable Memory card slot available.
2GB of Ram minus starting of OS & Apps remaining of around 1.4G , its quite enough and at least smoothy the system & apps compare to a 1GB Ram devices.

Theres a Simple Mode For Easier Access of Menu and a Normal Standard Mode For Normal Android User UI.

Simple Mode its convient for older adults for easier access to menu and function of the phone. It also auto enable larger fonts size for easier reading.

Quite Similar to common device with simple mode in tile format , Main Screen you will see Dailer, Contacts, Message, Camera ,etc.. You can also use the botton right swipe to add addition shortcuts to the tiles menu.

Motion Sensor Menu. You can set different Motion Mode like Flip, shake, Double Touch, Slide etc.
-Flip Over can make it slient when theres a call in or alarm set or timer set.
-Shake can help to rearrange the apps on the main screen.
-Double Touch its similar to the famous LG G2, HTC ONE M8 knock knock to wake up the screen of the phone when in sleep.
-Slide its when screen its off you can slide up down left right for fast access to preset apps like camera etc...

it looks more solid than redmi, better packaging and build.
seem like huawei put in lot of effort in making this value phone.
Hope SG version price will not mark up or degrade in term of specs.

Internet Browser & Surfing
Browser are using Original Android Version , Not Chrome Browser.
Function & Interface i think its quite familiar with all of us now.
Personally i feel that Original Android Browser its better than Chrome, using lesser resources and ram compared. But Chrome will be slightly smoother than Original Browser.

Thumbs up for TS for this thorough review of the 3C which seems like a very worthy competitor to the Redmi..

They literally blew it by setting the cost close to mi3. Which has superior specs in every aspect other than dual sim.

The price difference is so low if we compare the performance between a mediatek 1.3 ghz and a proven snapdragon 2+ ghz alone. We still haven't even considered the screen resolutions and camera..

Hiaz I was hoping that it would be competitively priced against redmi..

If only they priced the 3C like how they did in M'sia (RM499/S$190).. then it'd be in close contention with Redmi..... haiz...

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Just visited Huawei Singapore Facebook. They kenna whacked for setting high pricing in Singapore. Wonder if some will consider getting it from JB instead. Only problem would be after-sales service.

Source: Huawei Honor 3C

Huawei has a competitor device made to fend off the Xiaomi Redmi. The Huawei Honor 3C shares some similar specifications with the Redmi.

A Huawei Singapore spokesman said the Honor 3C, together with the Honor 3X, which is designed to compete with the Xiaomi Mi3, will go on sale here in April at prices which match those in China.

Their prices here match those in China..... REALLY??? And how can they compete with Redmi and Mi3 when the price differences (for SG) for both phones are so big??? :mad:

Meter Mode = Metering Mode
I not very sure of the Meter Mode as not a camera expert but i google and search , notice that its
-the metering mode refers to the way in which a camera determines the exposure

Thanks, a photo tells a thousand words; I think it's a mode to separate focus and exposure. Great to see this feature.

Such a pity that the home, back, menu keys are not backlit. Same as Redmi & Zenfone.
