Huawei Honor Holly 5.0 inch MTK6582 4-core 3G smartphone

Huawei Honor Holly comes with a 5-inch display with a 720 x 1280 pixel resolution and a 294ppi. It's an IPS LCD touchscreen that shows colours well. Brightness is tolerable at 50%, but you'll need to turn it up to full for the best performance.

The Honor Holly comes with a quad-core Mediatek MT6582 processor clocked at 1.3GHz. Alongside the 1GB of RAM, this is within expectations for the price. A Geekbench 3 score of 1131 proves that a mid-range processor can offer good performance in most situations.

As for storage, there is 16GB onboard, with 12.9GB free after firmware. This is more than most competing handsets offer, and if you additional storage there's also a microSD slot that takes cards up to 32GB. You can't go any higher considering the vast majority of handsets now offer either 64GB or 128GB, but 32GB is likely to suffice unless you're a media heavy user.

The handset is also dual-SIM, meaning you can have two different numbers on the same phone. However, only one of these can have a data connection.

Huawei products run Android with the manufacturer's Emotion UI overlay. This introduces some pretty heavy handed changes in the UI and a poor looking design that restricts the platform. Honor Holly got the Emotion UI 2.3 running over Android 4.4.2 and there's no word on an update to Lollipop just yet.
