Chinese manufacturer Huawei’s sub-brand Honor launched a new smartphone in India in its Holly series. It’s a new addition to its budget-centric smartphones named Honor Holly 4, the successor to Honor 3, launched last year. According to the official Honor website, “The Honor Holly 4 is a brand new upgrade that draws on Honor’s legacy of quality. Finished with the sophisticated sandblasting process, its metal body is richly detailed and feels incredible in your hand. The multi-function fingerprint sensor makes interacting with the device even simpler”. On Tuesday, the Vice president of Huawei Consumer Business Group India commented that the Holly 4 is a part of their festive offering to consumers wanting to buy a great device on a budget. He also added that the device sporting a sleek, elegant metallic design with a fast fingerprint sensor would surely be a big winner.
In terms of features, the Honor Holly 4 comes with an 8.2mm thick metallic body with curved corners. On the right-hand side, it features the volume rocker and power button. The device will be available in Grey, Gold, and Silver colors. The smartphone has a 5-inch HD display with a resolution of (1280 x 720) pixels. Under the hood, it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 quad-core SoC (four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.4GHz and four clocked at 1.1GHz) and 3GB of RAM. It comes with 32GB inbuilt storage, which is expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB).
On the back, it features a 13-megapixel camera with PDAF support and different camera modes like Time-lapse, Pro Video, Pro Picture, and Slow motion. The LED flash is placed on the left side of the camera along with the fingerprint sensor on the bottom, which doubles up as a multipurpose key for browsing through pics, killing the alarm, picking up calls, taking pictures, and taking shortcuts. On the front, there is a 5-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. There is a 3020mAh battery that claims to support 12 hours of HD video playback,10 hours of 4G browsing, or 57 hours of music playback. The smartphone runs the company’s EMUI 5.1 operating system based on Android Nougat (7.0).
The Honor Holly 4 is priced at ₹11,999, which puts it up against the likes of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 (bigger battery), Moto G5, and the YU Yureka 2 (bigger camera). Compared with last year’s Honor Holly 3, which was released with 2GB of RAM and a 13-megapixel camera, the Holly 4 is expected to perform well in the market. But we are all waiting to see the company’s announced smartphone, which is rumored to feature four cameras and a bezel-less design with an 18.9 display.
