In Samsung Galaxy S6 has a competitor worth 25 thousand rubles – Russian newspaper

Huawei has led to the Russian market line of smartphones Honor.

There were represented three devices – the flagship Honor 6 Plus, playing in the average price Honor 4X the range and budget Honor 4C.

6 Plus and 4X has been shown previously, so for them it is only the Russian premiere. But 4C Huawei decided to present it in Moscow, Russia considering a priority market for this model.

“According to statistics, the countries with the highest growth rate of people connect to the Internet are Russia and China. Given our sales model, oriented on Internet commerce, we certainly have relied on the Russian market “, – said the project manager of Huawei Consumer Business Group Ilya Tyurin

The main feature of Chinese cell phones is, of course, their price.

So, masthead Honor 6 Plus costs only … 25 990 rubles. Has less impressive features 4X – 11,990, and the mass 4C – 8990 rubles.

This, in fact, the review could be completed, because none of the competitors of these devices can not boast of such a low price tag. So, the price of playing in the same niche with Honor 6 Plus Samsung Galaxy S6 start at 53 thousand rubles for HTC One M9 – about 45 thousand rubles, and iPhone 6 Plus and all worth 62,000 rubles in the official Apple Store. However, let’s take a look at the specifications.

Honor 6 Plus has a standard for the flagships of this year specifications. Display with a diagonal of 5.5 inches and a resolution of Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels), eight-processor with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB of memory on board. The device is equipped with a so-called “universal slot” into which you can insert a memory card up to 64 GB, a second sim card. Thus, the client is free to decide – he needed a smartphone with almost 100 GB of memory or the phone for two rooms. Both slots when used under the SIM card, by the way, support the communication standard LTE Cat6 with data transfer rates up to 300 Mbit / s. An interesting feature of Honor 6 Plus is the ability to use your phone as a charger for other devices. Manufacturers claim that the power of the battery (3600 mAh) is enough for it with a vengeance. However, the main highlight of the flagship Honor is still his photomodule. The main camera unit consists of two lenses to 8 megapixels each. Such a solution has helped to achieve a unique mobile aperture (maximum aperture of two lenses Honor 6 Plus – 0.95), which in turn opens up tremendous opportunities for shooting in low-light conditions (night, dark room, and so on. D.).

Honor 6 Plus is made in a plastic case with metal frames on each side. The use of plastic due to the vector of the company to reduce costs and subsequent price reduction device.

“Two years ago, consumers complained about the very design – as something cheap, Chinese … In the headquarters is penetrated, invited foreign designers, and now the phone looks quite different, “- said Tyurin

Features Honor 4X today do not cause any surprise. Eight-processor (1.2 GHz), 2 GB of “RAM”, a slot for memory cards up to 32GB. Screen HD-resolution (1280 x 720) with a diagonal of 5.5 inches.

More interesting to me seemed, given its price (9000 rubles) Honor 4C. It has exactly the same technical stuffing as 4X, differing only in screen sizes – she’s younger model is 5 inches. However, in this case the smaller diagonal – plus rather than a minus, because the picture on the 4C looks clearer, and 4X, which at the same resolution diagonal display more is already possible to discern individual pixels.

On All three devices range Honor installed Android 4.4 with a shell of its own design EMUI 3.0, which is very different from other versions of “green robot” first of all the fact that there is no EMUI menu with a list of programs. Thus, the Chinese have borrowed the idea iOS, in which application icons are stored directly on the desktop, while keeping the ability to add androidovskuyu there too, and a variety of widgets offered by this open operating system.

“The original version EMUI did really like on the iPhone, because I had something to take an example. And then people liked it, they began to appreciate it, because on other Android-powered devices button, which causes warehouse applications, many annoying. And we decided not to change it and develop this system “- shared employee Huawei

According to the initial impression, Honor 6 Plus – one of the fastest smartphones that I have ever held in my hands. About any slowdown is not out of the question – it seems that the interface provides for what application you want to open next, and it starts before the finger touches the corresponding icon.

The differences in performance between 4X and no 4C, which is logical, given the identical filling machines. Responsiveness of both smartphones – on “four”.

In summary, we can say that when entering the Russian market in Huawei has a trump card, which have nothing to cover any of the competitors – it is certainly amazing low price vehicles. However, there are also disadvantages: public opinion inertia, especially in regard to brands. And even if now in China there are companies that offer products, the quality is not inferior goods of the same South Korean or Taiwanese manufacturers, still has to go through a long period of time before the respective installation entrenched in the public mind.

As Huawei managed to achieve such low prices on their smartphones?

Ilya Tyurin : We minimize the number of intermediate links in the chain ‘headquarters – the consumer. ” Any link is for an additional cost. Not sure it is someone cheat. This may fare for example. Huawei to optimize logistics, and, accordingly, the first time 4C will be sold only in our official online store. Because even delivery to other stores already increases the cost. Of course, in addition, we have reduced internal cheat on your smartphone. The model is not as profitable as the flagship. But here we are counting on the fact that the massive sales offset a small margin.
