Huawei’s Honor brand today launched its newest handset, the Honor 5C in China. Sitting in a notch below the honor 5x, the honor 5c packs in some really compelling features for its price. 

The handset features a 5.2-inch Full HD display at the front, and sports a design that is similar to the 5X. This includes the use of aircraft-grade aluminium that helps in giving the phone a very premium look.

Internally, the 5c sports Huawei’s own Kirin 650 chipset — an octa-core CPU that features 4x Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.7GHz and 4x Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2GHz, ARM’s Mali T830 GPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, and a microSD card slot.
