Review of Huawei Honor 4c

Play video

To test the “omnivorous” nature of video playback (including support for various codecs, containers and special features, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats, which make up the bulk of the content available on the Internet. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware video decoding at the chip level, since it is most often impossible to process modern options using processor cores alone.

According to the test results, the test subject was not equipped with all the necessary decoders that are necessary for full playback of most of the most common multimedia files on the network. To successfully play them, you will have to resort to the help of a third-party player — for example, MX Player.

Testing of video output features was carried out by Alexey Kudryavtsev.

We did not find the MHL interface, like Mobility DisplayPort, in this smartphone, so we had to limit ourselves to testing the output of video files on the screen of the device itself. To do this, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle moving one division per frame (see

“Methodology for testing video signal playback and display devices. Version 1 (for mobile devices)»). Screenshots with a shutter speed of 1 s helped determine the nature of the output frames of video files with different parameters: the resolution varied (1280 by 720 (720p) and 1920 by 1080 (1080p) pixels) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 frames/ With). In the tests we used the MX Player video player in the “Hardware” mode. The test results are summarized in the table:

Note: If green ratings are given in both columns Uniformity and Skips, this means that, most likely, when watching films, artifacts caused by uneven alternation and skipping of frames will either not be visible at all, or their number and visibility will not be will affect viewing comfort. Red marks indicate possible problems with playback of the corresponding files.

According to the criterion of frame output, the quality of playback of video files on the screen of the smartphone itself is good, since frames (or groups of frames) can (but are not required) be output with more or less uniform alternation of intervals and without skipping frames. In addition to 1080p files at 50 and 60 fps, the latter generally begin to be output immediately or after a while as a slide show.

For 60 fps files, one frame per second is always output with an extended duration. Apparently the screen refresh rate is slightly higher than the typical 60Hz at around 61Hz. Why this was done is absolutely unclear. When playing video files with a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels (720p) on a smartphone screen, the image of the video file itself is displayed exactly along the border of the screen, one to one in pixels, that is, in the original resolution.

Design and ergonomics

Type-C, mono speaker.

Against the background of boring gradients with which we are accustomed to associate Huawei smartphones, Nova 5T in Midsummer Purple color looks like a breath of fresh air. This design probably won’t suit many people, but the holographic pattern of the letters NOVA on the back looks very impressive in real life. It’s not only beautiful, but also practical: while the purple glass collects fingerprints at the slightest touch, the shimmering finish masks them well. There is oleophobic coating on both sides, so stains on the case are easily erased.

The Nova 5T is not dust or water resistant, and Huawei doesn’t say anything about Gorilla Glass (as usual, it uses a cheaper Chinese equivalent), but that doesn’t mean the phone is poorly built. For its price, in aesthetic and tactile terms, it is as close as possible to premium devices.

Cameras

On the back of the Huawei Nova 5T you can see as many as four lenses. In fact, the main module with a Sony IMX586 sensor with a resolution of 48 megapixels (1/2″, 0.8 microns) and a lens with an f/1.8 aperture and phase detection (PDAF) autofocus is supplemented here with a wide-angle module (117°) with a 16 MP and a lens with f/2.2 aperture.

The remaining two simple modules have a resolution of 2 MP. One of them is designed to measure the depth of field of a scene and does not take photographs by itself, but allows you to take portraits using the main module (read: blur their background). The other, with the same characteristics, serves as a camera for macro photography (fixed focal length, minimum distance from 4 cm).

The operation of the camera in automatic modes is controlled by AI, which sets the optimal shooting parameters, according to the automation. An intelligent algorithm recognizes the scene in the frame and suggests the most appropriate shooting and image processing parameters. II automatically adjusts color, brightness and contrast, but you can turn it off and work with the camera in manual mode.

The main module offers by default shooting in the “four pixels in one” format, that is, in a resolution of 12 megapixels, and not in the full 48 megapixels. If you shoot in full resolution, the image file size doubles (or even triples), and the camera interface in this mode does not offer zooming or other settings.

The smartphone does not have an optical zoom, but in the 12 MP shooting mode on the main camera, a digital zoom of up to 10× is available with the appropriate quality.

In general, the quality of shooting with the main camera is good during the day and poor at night. It’s difficult to compare cameras that were tested at different times [of the year] and on different materials, but it seems to be about the same level as the mainstream 48-megapixel smartphones of last year (relatively speaking, Redmi Note 7).

The second camera is wide-angle. There is nothing unexpected here: it takes pictures much worse than the main module, but its very presence makes it possible to photograph large objects from a short distance, fitting everything into the frame. In addition, in the central part of the frame the quality is surprisingly decent (the only problem is that a wide-angle camera is usually shot for the sake of the picture at the edges of the frame).

A macro camera should, in theory, benefit from a minimum focusing distance, but in real tests we did not see any benefit from it.

Videos can be shot in a maximum resolution of 4K at 30 fps. There is no optical stabilization. The video quality is above average, but not ideal, both in terms of detail and sharpness. At night the camera takes average video too. And it’s better not to try to use zoom, since it’s only digital and the picture instantly loses detail. The audio is recorded more or less cleanly, although the frequencies are clearly cut off along with the noise thanks to the zealous operation of the noise reduction system.

The Huawei Nova 5T selfie camera uses a 32 MP sensor and an f/2.0 aperture lens. It is possible to shoot using gestures. Thanks to the AI-enabled mode, the camera tries to recognize objects and facial features in the frame using the optimal image processing algorithm.

Advantages

1. Capacious battery!

2. Availability of a still current version of the software on which you can install any application

3.5 inch IPS screen with pixel density similar to retina screens on the iPhone

4. 13MP camera that allows you to clearly photograph small text (serial numbers and documents in my case)

5. L TE

6. Alternate operating mode of SIM cards. That is, when you talk to one at a time, the second one is dialed and you can receive the call, unlike most other phones where the second SIM card goes into the off state, and clients calling to the second SIM card are merged.

7. The price for all this stuff!

Disadvantages

There are none. For those whose keyboard is slow when typing, just change it from the Huawei one (it really slows down and the letters are small) to the next one in the settings and you will be happy. One quibble is the lack of an update to Android 6, but I think this will be fixed over time.

Comment

As a true connoisseur of Apple technology (I have the entire line, except, perhaps, watches: iPod, iPhone, iPad, Mac mini, MacBook), I could not even imagine another brand as my main phone. Year after year I looked at my four and realized that every year it was getting harder and harder for her, now iOS hasn’t been updated for a long time, and the requirements for applications in the AppStore are at least iOS8, first I was left without a business bank, then without the 1C mobile client , then. there was a lot then. On top of everything else, problems with the battery were added and at the end of 2020, wanting to somehow extend the life of the smartphone, I replaced the battery. But the operation could no longer help the patient and he began to turn off at 40% of the charge, clients continued to merge. And sadness and longing intensify. And then the day came when I decided to finally put an end to this, and… (may the now deceased Stevie forgive me) buy a smartphone from Huawei. Now all the applications you need are installed, the phone in moderate consumption mode (calls from clients, mail, the Internet (in moderation), correspondence with clients in instant messengers and social networks, other work with applications) works for 3 days! It works quickly, when you need a fast Internet connection — I turn on LTE. In general, I’m happy with the purchase! There is no desire to spend 25, 30, 45 thousand almost hard-earned rubles (in the case of the 6S). A good smartphone, and most importantly, I finally get around to charging it every few days!

Honor 4c pro performance and memory

The main principle that the company adhered to when creating the Huawei Honor 4C Pro was economy. Which is quite reasonable — this is not an older model, but a middling one, albeit a strong one.

The phone is based on a quad-core MediaTek MT6735 — a processor that is unspectacular in terms of power. This is the main disadvantage of being a long-lived marathon runner. Although the clock frequency of 1.3 GHz indicates that this is an uncut version of the processor, coupled with 2 GB of RAM, this is clearly not enough for resource-intensive games.

The standard size of the built-in memory is 16 GB, the space available to the user is 10.55 GB. It can be expanded using microSD up to 128 GB. The memory card is used by default to save information.

It’s unexpected to see a frankly weak processor inside an Honor device from a company with ambitious traditions. The processor power had to be sacrificed to create an “anti-crisis” smartphone model.

The hardware of a budget phone falls into the category — “the main thing is that it works, and that’s fine.” This applies not only to the processor, but also to the Mali-T720 graphics module. There is nothing special to make: in the long-lived sector with similar characteristics, the only thing cheaper than buying Honor 4C Pro is Xiaomi Redmi 3.

To the company’s credit, it should be noted that the firmware is optimized “excellently”. Signal reception from satellites is more than 20 active, which is quite powerful. With 4G and Wi-Fi networks everything is fine.

Honor also copes well with multitasking. You can work with several applications simultaneously, there is enough RAM, and no troubles occur. Without freezes or crashes, the smartphone runs both native and third-party widespread programs.

There is a slight delay when opening some programs, which in fairness, it should be noted, even flagships are guilty of this. For example, when launching a calculator or SMS client. But the EMUI shell smooths out the slowdown with smooth transition animations.

Watching videos online on social networks, working with recorded media files also goes without any complaints.

Price and video review honor 4c pro

High-quality anti-crisis smartphones are in demand in domestic markets, especially in recent financially difficult years. Huawei has already proven itself well and was even able to increase the price tag for 4C by a couple of thousand rubles.

The approximate price of Huawei Honor 4C Pro is in the range of 11,000-13,000 rubles. A phone from a competing company, Xiaomi Redmi 3, will cost less, but the Honor Pro has more stable firmware and is officially presented in Russia. The price of another official competitor, Lenovo Vibe P1m, is higher with all other characteristics being equal. And he looks less presentable.

Watch video review of Huawei Honor 4C Pro:

As a result, we find that the hero of the review is an inexpensive smartphone with decent technical characteristics. In terms of battery capacity, it is a long-distance runner due to its huge battery. The smartphone was named the bestseller of the year as a reliable, agile, but not powerful long-liver, for those who do not want to overpay for unnecessary functions.

Huawei Honor 4c pro smartphone screen

There are no complaints about the smartphone’s screen, especially since it’s essentially a budget phone. It’s somehow strange to demand “wow” characteristics from such models.

Despite the reasonable price, the Huawei Honor 4C Pro smartphone has a decent display with good parameters.

The IPS LCD matrix at the base of the display has HD resolution (1280×720 pixels), of course, Full HD would be better for such a diagonal. When working with text or on the Internet, pixels are clearly not enough.

Anti-grease oleophobic coating and tempered protective glass are available and of decent quality. It is difficult to put scratches and abrasions on it, even if you have keys in your pocket with your phone, and it is easy to remove fingerprints.

The diagonal of the matrix is the most comfortable by modern standards — 5 inches. This is not a lot, but not a little either. The phone is easy to operate with one hand and fits easily into your pocket.

Viewing angles are pleasantly surprising. The picture is not distorted no matter how you rotate the smartphone.

The maximum brightness reserve is not large, so in direct sunlight the screen fades. The minimum brightness value ensures comfortable use of the phone in the dark. In normal lighting, contrast, saturation and color rendition are at a good level. If you don’t pay attention to some fading.
