Honor Holly User Reviews

This phone is an affordable yet well built phone
Doesn't seem so from outside the box or in advertisements. It can only be understood when used
I was forced to have this phone because my xperia z2 broke down and couldn't afford a new flagship phone .seeing this my dad bought me this ,he does not know gadgets well.As I started using it,I felt that its better than a xperia z2 or galaxy s5 .whiln e using u will see that its quite smooth in transitions and app launching .it runs very fast on such low hardware is uses hardly 30% of ram on aaverage ... 16gb is good enough .it is said to be expandable up to 32gb but surprisingly my 128gb SD card works on it.its body is comparatively heavy but lighter than an iPhone 4s ,but heavy is actually a sign of a long lasting device.its outer body is firmly built to perfection(physically) its looks a very bold and doesn't look cheap its trim looks like leather and thus looks versatile .the buttons on the bottom don't glow but reflect on light .

The camera is pretty good . focusing is better than ever ,great detail ,excellent for a 8mp camera ,front camera is great too with all the functions you will ever need on both cameras .display is clear and vivid .the UI makes it even better .I personally like white(rare) menus, status bar and internal menus rather than black( old and common) ones
I prefer using a launcher for the desktop ,emotion UI is a UI that we are not used to besides that its fine.
Speakers are loud and clear ..nothing to add its just a speaker!
Apple ipod standard music for earphone users
It is water proof but not mentioned so .I tried ,it shuts down but work normally after turning back on and checked further on this ...no damage at all .no scratches so far after so much of road it has gone through .battery is good ...i took it to camping for 4 days and i used it as I would like browsing ,gaming ,photography etc.but it still lasted 3 and a half days without charge ...one Google + problem with this phone but maybe its particularly with my cellphone .
Do not download Google chrome ,the built-in browser is nearly identical to it ,it also offers google account sink so its all you need

The bottom line is ,DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE HUAWEI ...its as good as other brands

I received the phone a day after Diwali. Kudos to Flipkart for making it possible as they had mentioned they would send it by Nov. 7th.

Now on to review : HONOR HOLLY (It comes from an iPhone 5 user for years)

I bought this phone for my dad who has never used a touch phone nor has he ever been introduced to the word internet. Under my impression Android has always been confusing but Kit Kat 4.4.2 supported with Huawei emotion interface makes it a cake walk for any beginner to understand a touch phone.

Design: By all means Huawei Honor Holly is 5 star for its design. By no angle does it look a phone worth 6999. Its sleek, very light weight, white glossy back makes the phone look classy. Holly is slimmest among all the phone available at the same price.

SCREEN: 5Inch screen, Amazing display, when it mentions 16 million colors, it means it. The phone just looks amazing. Touch is supreme matching to the most expensive phones in the world.

STORAGE: Its massive 16 GB internal memory, for anyone who is not a movie or song junkie you dont need more.

INTERNET: It was very easy to detect and connect to Wifi / The place where there is slow speed the phone does take time to load up things. But all looks great on high speed internet areas and wifi. Phone also supports Hotspot / GPS Navigation enabling. In all great experience.

BATTERY: It comes with a massive removable battery. The life looks great for a phone loaded with so many feature. Problem is in charging the phone. It charges very very slowly. So one might have to wait for ages for it to charge to hundred percent. (May thats a problem in my phone only)

CAMERA : Features I have never seen in any phone were there in here is the Camera section of this phone.

Face Detection and clearing : This feature detects your face and clears all wrinkles / blck spots etc. Automatically. You have many color and cropping postioning features.

Panorama Pictures can be taken Horizontally and Vertically as well. (UNIQUE from many high class camera phones)

Also has a wonderful live picture option.

Sharing of pics too can be done in all possible platforms directly after clicking the pic.

picture quality is good. However with flash i saw some white tones coming in. But tht is not a big demerit.

SOUND : Its a flaw huawei needs to work on. The phones audio is low. I would rate it 2.5 out of 5 for this demerit. For those who can live with low volume outputs and can use speakers / earphones this is one area you will have to live with.
