Huawei Honour U8860 Review: In Depth

When we first handled the Huawei Honour U8860 we thought: zippy, affordable and functional. It enters the ring at £180 with its non-descript design and...

Huawei Honor U8860

While the name of Huawei might not be one of the first names that trips off your tongue when the subject of manufacturers of Android devices is taking place, the company is determined to change that perception with some new products. Recently I took a...

This is the standard candy mode style of unit. It is decked out in black and comes with the Android 2.3 operating system. With dimensions of 122 x 61.5 x 10.9mm (H x W x D) and a weight of 135g, the Honor has a nice comfortable and solid feel to it...

Huawei Honor review

The Huawei Honor is yet another budget smartphone from the Chinese phone maker that does little to help the company in its ongoing effort to break into the top to medium end western market.

Solid build, decent camera, reasonable battery life

Outdated operating system, software additions are detrimental to user experience, slow performance

A solid smartphone but build quality is let down by poor, out-of-date software

Huawei Honor U8860

From the land of the dragon comes the Huawei Honor, which sports some impressive mid-range specs available at an even more surprising budget pricetag.

Good display; 8 MP snapper; quick Qualcomm chip inside; UI is intuitive and very functional.

Plastic design feels a bit cheap; display is a real fingerprint magnet; and only 1 GB of onboard storage.

Huawei Honor

With its impressive specifications and Galaxy S2-style aesthetics, the Honor sees Huawei taking a shot at the high-end Android market.

Adopters of the Huawei Honor will be greeted with a vibrant 4-inch (480 x 800) touchscreen, which comes paired with a powerful 1.4GHz single-core processor - despite the handset's svelte 10.9mm-thick frame. This speed is further boosted with the...

Huawei Honor review

We can't imagine companies like Samsung and HTC have ever really given much thought to budget manufacturers, but that must surely be changing, especially if Huawei's recent resurgence is anything to go by. The Chinese firm has a reputation of creating...

Fast, attractive and won’t break the bank

Screen is sometimes unresponsive, camera could be better

For the asking price - around £200 SIM-free and unlocked - the Huawei Honor represents amazing value for money. It’s a good-looking and capable device which proves the Chinese company is ready to make big waves in the smartphone arena

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.
