Huawei Honor 3X octa core and 3C quad core phones announced

Huawei has devices doing quite well globally especially the Ascend lineup, but back in its hometown, the competition seems to be escalating quickly in the budget-friendly segment. Well, the company has an answer to that – The Honor 3X and 3C smartphones, both being highly affordable devices. The former offers an octa core processor, while the latter delivers a quad core AP.

The Huawei Honor 3X is essentially the same handset which has been rumored as the Honor 4 and Glory 4. The device is the first from the company to arrive with an octa core processor, a 1.7GHz MT6592 AP to be precise. The device features a 5.5-inch IPS touchscreen with 720p visuals and a 5MP webcam on the front, while the rear plays host to a 13MP camera.

Apart from these, the smartphone packs a 3000mAh battery, dual mics for noise cancellation and DTS audio support. The Honor 3C on the other hand, has a quad-core 1.3GHz MT6582 SoC with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
