Huawei Honor This is an Android 2.3.5 device with a 4" 480 x 854 pixel display, an 8 megapixel primary camera with HD video recording, plus a 2 megapixel camera for video calling. There's an FM radio, Bluetooth, a microSD slot, WiFi and 3.5G support plus GPS and all the usual Android features that you would expect.
Inside is a 1.4 GHz single core CPU with 512MB of RAM. While all the features so far are pretty impressive, unusually it is perhaps the battery that makes the Huawei Honor stand out - the 1900 mAh cell is the largest that we have seen in a smartphone, and it helps to address the problems caused by the power-hunger Android OS.
It's certainly a powerful number and the large battery should give it a reasonable battery life, but the generic design isn't going to wow people and Huawei isn't really a brand that people have heard of. Still, it looks like a promising choice for Android fans.
Huawei say that the Honor should be available during Q4 2011 in Asia Pacific countries, Russia and the Middle East. By the end of 2011 there should be more colours available in addition to the rather dull black phone provided at launch. Whether or not it will get a wider release will probably depend on how successful the launch is, but Huawei are pushing hard into Europe as a whole so we would expect to see it in more countries over the winter.
