Huawei U8860 Honor

Huawei has officially launched the U8860 Honor in the Philippines. The Huawei H8860 Honor is a 4-inch Android smartphone, and currently runs Android 2.3, but an Upgrade to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) has been promised. Priced at Php13,999 it directly competes with the LG Optimus Black. Does the Honor have what it takes to beat the Optimus Black? We this the answer to that is a yes. While the Honor and the Optimus Black match up closely specifications wise, the Honor has one big Ace up its sleeve, the phone packs a whopping 1930 mAh battery. That is almost 30% bigger than that of the Optimus Black, and other similarly sized smartphones for that matter.

In addition, the Honor has a faster processor and higher megapixel camera than the Optimus Black.  The phone also comes with Huawei's Cloud+ service which comes with an unprecedented 160 GB 16 GB of cloud storage. Huawei Cloud+ highlights one thing, Huawei is no longer contended with manufacturing cheap smartphones and is entering the big leagues, pairing its hardware with proprietary services.

The Huwaei Honor looks like a phone worth looking at for those in the market for a mid-priced smarpthone.
