Huawei announces the Honor, a smartphone with a three-day battery life
Not long after its announcement of the Impulse 4G, Huawei is officially taking the lid off of the Huawei Honor. Running Android 2.3.5, the Honor features a 1.4GHz processor, 32GB of storage, and a disappointing 512MB of RAM. Most interesting, Huawei says that the Honor's 1,900mAh battery can last for up to three days on a single charge. That's no small claim.
There's not much to remark upon about the device's exterior. Featuring a 4-inch WVGA (480 x 800 pixel) touchscreen, the Honor looks remarkably like a number of Samsung's devices, not to mention the iPhone.
There is no word just yet on a release date for North America, but if you live in China, Asia-Pacific, Russia, or the Middle East, you can get the Honor when it launches later this year.
