Design
The Huawei Honor 4C is quiet a stylish smartphone thanks to its 3D laser-etched pattern that feels smooth like matte finish panels and at the same time is unique and eye-catching. It comes in black, white and golden colours of which we had the black version that looks quite gentle as well. The treatment of the rear camera unit is also a highlight of its design. The rear camera along with the flash light are secured in a metal plated and is located in the top left corner of the back panel so while keeping it on a surface the camera lens is less likely to get damaged. The brand name (Honor) has been written in the back panel in aesthetic manner. A speaker grill lies in the back panel while a mic is located at the top of the back side.
The back cover goes all the way to cover its sides as well and is easy to dislodge. The power key is placed alongside the volume rocker on the right side with ample distance in between.
In the front, there are three touch keys below the display while above it lies a 5 megapixel camera, an LED indicator and the proximity sensor.
Overall, the phone is quite pleasing to eyes and is comfortable to use.
