Huawei U8860 Honor review: Way of the Dragon

The Huawei Honor is made in China and proudly so. Designed, engineered and created in the Land of the Dragon, it's nothing like your run-of-the-mill cheap knock-off. It's a genuine Chinese product, not just something put together for someone else –...

Quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G support ; 14.4 Mbps HSDPA; 5.76 Mbps HSUPA ; 1.4GHz Snapdragon CPU; Adreno 205 GPU; Qualcomm MSM 8255Т chipset; 512MB RAM; 4GB ROM ; 1GB storage, microSD card support (up to 32GB) ; 4.0” LCD display of FWVGA (854 x 480)...

Cheapish gloss ; Real smudge magnet ; Poor screen quality ; Non hot-swappable microSD card ; No hardware shutter key ; No native video calling despite built-in VGA camera

The Huawei Honor is a capable device but it would definitely have a hard time dealing with its “Made in China” stigma.

Huawei U8860 Honor review

Huawei has been steadily supplying second-tier U.S. carriers like MetroPCS and Cricket Wireless with midrange Android smartphones at lower prices--at least ones that are affordable for those buying phones off-contract, at a higher up-front cost. Take,...

The Huawei Honor has an easy-to-use interface overlaying Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and a mega battery that promises lengthy talk times.

You don't get all the performance you'd expect from the specs, including the 8-megapixel camera. Call quality was also harsh in our tests, and the unlocked price is a probable deterrent for U.S. customers.

The Huawei Honor may be a step up from most of the company's devices that we get our hands on, but U.S. customers should seek local versions of the Android smartphone, like the Huawei Mercury with Cricket.

Huawei Honor (U8860) Review

When Huawei sent over their new and soon to be released smartphone set to debut in Asia in Q4 called the Huawei Honor (U8860) also known as the Glory , I was expecting another run of the mill Android smartphone for the budget crowd like their previous...

Huawei might not be as popular or widely celebrated as the HTC’s and Samsung’s in the mobile world, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be. If Huawei continues to put out great hardware like this here phone and the award winning Huawei Vision I see no...

Huawei Honor Review

The Huawei Honor is a mid-range Android smartphone that is well-spec'd for what it costs. It comes with a 1.4GHz single-core processor and a 4-inch high-resolution display...

Good interface ; Built-in cloud and back-up features ; High-resolution display ; Good value-for-money ratio

Plasticky feel ; Flawed camera ; Display is not sensitive enough

Probably the biggest advantage of the Huawei Honor is its great value-for-money ratio. It can be bought for about $370 off contract, and at that price point, no other brand name company would be able to match its specs. However, you get what you pay...

Huawei Honor Review

The Huawei Honor is a bit on the modest side compared to other smartphones out there but Huawei didn't make this a flagship for no good reason. It has a wide range of features with some you can find in more powerful smartphones out in the market. It is...

Huawei Honor Review

On paper, this has a very capable hardware package. However, the price tag brings it in the same ring against the likes of the HTC One V. Both phones have their tussle on the specs, but the clear disadvantage for the Honour is that it comes with...

Surprisingly good performance, Built well, Display isn't very vivid, but quite crisp

No ICS yet

Huawei Honor U8860 Mobile Phone Review

Looks like the iPhone. Acts like an Android.

Nice UI, excellent battery life, decent speed and a good price

Looks a bit too much like the iPhone. Camera is strictly ok

Oveall, the U8860 is a pretty decent Smartphone. It is well constructed, has a nice display, performs quite well and lasts you quite a long time between charges. Its priced at AED 1,500 making it extremely well worth for what you’re getting and thus...

PHOTOVIEW: Huawei Honor Android 2.3/Android 4.0 Smartphone

Not that the Huawei Honor (which is spelled in Europe Honour) is anything new but it took Huawei a little bit longer to bring the stand-by monster to Germany. Powered by a 1.4 GHz single-core CPU, it was initially launched with Android 2.3 /...
