Huawei Honor 5C Specs, Price, Release, Opinions, Pros and Cons

Huawei Honor 5C is the next release from Huawei in April 2016. Being the world’s third largest smartphone brand by sales, Huawei is now expanding their model base more fiercely than ever. The most important thing we want to mention about this Honor 5C is its very less competitive price. While the new wave brands like Vivo and Oppo, who were selling their smartphones at a price almost double the comparable smartphone from rival brands like Xiaomi, Lenovo or Huawei. Such hectic price arises because of their bullying marketing in a regional surface.

In this scenario, Huawei Honor 5C’s price is a hammer on the head of such brands with a non-competitive price. Have a look at the Honor 5C specs and other details below.
