Main and front cameras Honor 4c pro
The device is equipped with a main and front camera of 13 MP and 5 MP, respectively. Both cameras are not simple and have their own characteristics.
There are no complaints about the quality of pictures taken in daylight: the pictures are well detailed, colorful, and the automatic mode functions well. This is thanks to the back-illuminated BSI matrix, high-aperture optics and protective lens coating. The coating guarantees the cleanliness of the photo and the safety of the camera.
For pictures taken in dimly lit rooms or at dusk, everything is different: “noise” is clearly visible, the picture is not drawn. The photographic subject must be motionless for detail to be completed at least at a medium level.
The HDR mode works well; it allows you to extend the image to a good level in normal and not very favorable shooting conditions, with the exception of very difficult ones. Honor 4C Pro cameras cope with panoramic and accelerated shooting; they are not given a macro mode; it will require patience and time when focusing on the foreground. The white balance is adjustable, which is already good.
Taking selfies with the front camera is a pleasure — quickly and easily. Retouching software helps you get rid of photo editing. There is also a feature — voice control of photography. The 84-degree viewing angle allows you to capture not only your own face, but also a bit of your surroundings.
Honor copes satisfactorily with video recording, but the resolution is 720 pixels, and this is the maximum. It seems that a modern mobile device is simply obliged to have Full-HD instead of simple HD quality for photos and videos.
Autonomy of Huawei honor 4c pro
The main advantage of the smartphone, its most expected improvement compared to the previous version, is a 4000 mAh battery. It was for her that he received such definitions as “marathon runner” and “long-liver.” Without recharging, the device functions normally for two days. The credit here goes to the high-capacity battery coupled with a low-power, small screen with HD resolution.
Testing showed that with active Internet use, Honor 4C Pro had enough charge for one day. At the same time, in addition to visiting social networks, photographs were taken, music was played, navigation and LTE were turned on. This amounted to 4 hours of almost continuous display illumination.
When watching the video, the phone performed well and lasted 14 hours. It can scroll through media files in Full HD format with full screen brightness for 10 hours. The battery also gave good performance to the user who was playing too much — 7 hours without recharging.
You can increase your smartphone’s battery life by turning on the power-saving mode and eliminating too power-intensive applications. The user will be notified about their launch and will receive an offer to optimize the work.
Another feature is that the phone can serve as a charger for other gadgets. A special cord is required for this. The “power bank” mode is activated in the global settings of Honor Pro.
Honor 4c pro design and control
The latest version of the smartphone, which complemented the Honor lineup, received the name “Pro”, a new case material, a capacious battery and a more powerful processor.
The design of the new product is very nice. Of course, the case is plastic, but Huawei’s corporate style is present in it. Particularly pleasing is the pseudo-metal finish of the plastic back cover. Under different lighting angles, its texture changes.
If you look from the outside, the device looks impressive and even stylish, especially in black. Nothing superfluous on the front side — strict minimalism. The edging of the rectangular body with rounded edges only looks metallic; it is made of plastic, just like the panels.
The front side of the case is decorated with an original design solution — the screen protrudes from the black frame, so it looks larger than the real 5”.
Taking a closer look at the Honor 4C Pro screen, you will notice that the glass frame has a heterogeneous structure — numerous fine-crystalline elements at the top and bottom.
Next to the front camera there is a small LED firefly indicator that continuously notifies you of missed events.
The back surface has poles and minuses at the same time. The lid fastens well, the pattern of the plastic with a metallic finish is pleasant, it holds well in the hand and does not slip. At the same time, the signature backlashes and creaks have not been eliminated; they have moved from their predecessors to other places.
In the Huawei Honor 4C Pro model, they migrated from bottom to top to the rear camera area. The plastic rubs against the camera rim and bends slightly in the flash area. If the owner gets carried away by the conversation and squeezes the phone harder in his hand, he will immediately respond with a dissatisfied squeak.
The removable back cover is, of course, more convenient for repairs than the monolith, but squeaks and a non-removable battery negate its advantages.
The location of the main camera with flash is unusual — in the center relative to the top edge of the back cover.
There is a micro-USB port at the bottom. There are two rows of holes on either side of it. But only the left row is a speaker for sound output.
On the right side of the Honor 4C phone there is a regular set of control buttons: “rockers” — volume control and power on.
At the top there is a headphone jack.
Positive point: it is possible to install two SIM cards without sacrificing a memory card. Slots are available for everyone individually on the left side of the device.
The body of the smartphone is rather plump than graceful, but within acceptable limits, it is not fat. It is a little heavy for such a diagonal, although some even like this weight.
The device is not “the best of the best,” but it doesn’t hurt the eye because it’s cheap. The simple design of the smartphone is by no means faceless; it can be called a traditional classic. The assembly of the device is quite reliable.
Advantages and disadvantages of the Honor 4c pro smartphone
Speaking about the advantages and disadvantages of the upgraded version of the smartphone, it should be taken into account that we are talking about a middle-class model at an “anti-crisis” price. Comparisons should be made among those similar to it — not flagships, but “culturally” assembled predominantly Chinese analogues.
In our review of Honor 4C Pro, we note a number of its advantages:
- Good quality of photography for the middle class with the main and front cameras;
- Quite a contrast screen with a bright palette;
- Excellent autonomy;
- Complex cameras with special features;
- Slots for two SIM cards;
- Impeccable firmware optimization;
- LTE support.
The arsenal of a “budget” smartphone has the following disadvantages:
- Weak processor;
- Poor video quality;
- Slower autofocus of the main camera at night;
- Poor quality external speaker;
- Case creaks in the upper part of the rear panel.
Thus, the Huawei company has turned out to be a not very powerful, strong, mid-range, long-lived device that ranks high among competitors like Xiaomi Redmi 3 and Lenovo VIBE P1m.
Sound of smartphone Huawei honor 4c pro
With sound, everything is not clear. From the speakerphone it is heard too loudly, with an unpleasant shrill timbre. There is not enough sound detail or crystal clarity. Of course, you won’t miss such a ringtone, but you wouldn’t want to listen to music, watch videos and films with such a caustic sound. On the contrary, the vibration alert is weak.
It’s a completely different matter with headphones. The sound here is not bad at all. The sound is clear, unclouded, it has clarity, fullness and good volume. Its quality will not satisfy music lovers, but for ordinary music lovers it is quite enough.
The multimedia speakers of the Honor 4C Pro smartphone are the same “budget” ones: loud, not clear, but not wheezing. The Music app plays compressed FLAC files without losing quality. Therefore, it is recommended to listen to them with headphones.
The pre-installed FM tuner application requires a shortwave antenna, which is used by the audio headset. Radio broadcasts are output to multimedia speakers, not just headphones.
There is a useful application called Voice Recorder. The presence of 2 microphones makes it possible to record regular and stereo sound with the removal of extraneous noise in the “Lecture” and “Meeting” modes.
Huawei Honor 4c pro software
Due to the low cost of the new Honor, the Android 5.1 operating system with a stripped-down version of the EMUI 3.1 firmware was installed on it. The Lite firmware partially lacks smart gestures, some applications are not preinstalled, and some entertainment features are truncated.
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 of “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 and 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 from 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 the 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.
