Reviews for the Honor Holly 4

50% Honor Holly 4 review: The quintessential budget phone
Source: Gadgets Now English Archive.org version
Let's just address the elephant in the room. Has Honor erred with the pricing of the device as at Rs 11,999, Honor Holly 4 is far away from being the choice of a user who's looking to buy a handset for Rs 12,000. Smartphone makers like Xiaomi and Motorola are offering smartphones that have faced no complaints in any department. They might boast of similar specs but do deliver better performance. Perhaps if the handset was priced under the Rs 8,000 mark, the specs would have been justified.

70% Honor Holly 4 Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
The Honor Holly 4 could have been a great phone at this time last year, but it fades in comparison to Xiaomi's rather expansive lineup in the sub-Rs. 15,000 market. Lenovo also has a few great models, including the recently launched Moto G5s series (Review). Honor's own Honor 8 Lite (Review) sells for under Rs. 15,000 and surprisingly, the 32GB version of the Honor 6X (Review) sells at the same price of Rs. 11,999 (though it is soon to be replaced). While the Honor 6X has a very gimmicky dual camera feature, at least it stands out. The new Holly 4 just seems lost in this mix.

65% Huawei Honor Holly 4 review: Good battery life, but misses out on the X factor
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
For Honor fans, the Holly 4 can be an attractive buy. Go for it if you want a phone that doesn't quit on you before the day ends. There are some neat customisations and features that come with EMUI 5.1 that may please some. At this price, the Holly 4 is not a bad choice, but it's also not the best you can get.

This display is tiny. You will probably see very little on the screen and be able to use mini-resolutions.

Honor:

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.

The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).


61.67%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
