Considering this is a 5.5-inch phone, the immediate competitors include the Yu Yureka and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G. When compared with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G, the Honor 4X comes across as comparitively thinner and lighter phone. The model we got came with a white textured back. The rear cover has the Honor logo etched into it and the cover is easily removable. The plastic used in the construction is not the sturdiest, but not as flimsy as the Lenovo A6000 either.
On opening the cover you get access to the dual SIM card slots along with the microSD card slot. The battery is non removable. On the rear side, you have the camera section along with the LED flash unit beside it, located on the top left hand corner.
When it came to benchmark tests, the scores of the Huawei Honox 4X were at par with Lenovo A6000 and the Redmi 2 as both of them also sport the same processor and RAM combination.
Video quality was decent and the speakers were loud enough to watch movies or videos without earphones. Despite the speaker being on one side, the phone is loud enough. There wasn’t any distortion of volume at maximum levels either. While playing games such as Asphalt 8, one can notice a lot of jaggies and there is a definite stuttering.
Verdict and Price in India
Huawei Honor 4X is the latest entrant in the budget 4G phablet segment. Now while the phone is a decent performer, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G and Yu Yureka at Rs 9,999 and Rs 8,999 respectively, offer a better value for money than the Honor 4X’s Rs 10,499 asking price. The Honor 4X has a mildly underperforming system on chip for its price, which may not be liked by all. While in the regular use case there aren’t any major issues with the phone, its gaming performance and camera image quality leave a lot to be desired. With the Redmi Note 4G and Yu Yureka being better in both departments, it is hard to recommend the Honor 4X. The only silver lining on the Honor 4X is its battery life and probably the only edge it has over its competition.
