The Honor 5C is the newest smartphone launched by the company and it offers a number of notable features at its price. At Rs. 10,999, the phone is placed in a very competitive segment and its specifications as well as build quality help it stand out from the crowd.
Specification overview
The Honor 5C sports a 5.2-inch Full HD display and is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 650 SoC with 2GB of RAM. At the back is a 13MP primary camera, while at the front is an 8MP camera. The device is equipped with a 3000mAh battery and offers 16GB of onboard storage that can be expanded by up to 128GB.

The metal body has a brushed metal effect that gives the phone a premium look. Honor also says that the 5C is the first model to be built according to Huawei’s stringent 3.1 quality assurance standards. The device was subject to numerous tests that were designed to test the device’s toughness and durability.
The phone also features ridged edges that help users get a firm grip on their device. In addition, the rounded edges make the phone comfortable to hold for extended periods of time.
