Right before its major launch in the Indian market, Huawei’ sub-brand Honor has launched a budget smartphone in the country. Dubbed as Honor Holly 4, this smartphone will be sold in the offline market at a price of Rs. 11,999. The smartphone will be available in three colours- Grey, Gold, and Silver across 30,000 retail stores in India.

P Sanjeev, Vice President – Sales, Huawei Consumer Business Group India, commented on the launch, “Holly 4 is part of our festive offering to consumers wanting to buy a great device on a budget. Sporting a sleek, elegant metallic design with a fast fingerprint sensor we are confident that this smartphone will be a big winner.”
Honor Holly 4 Specifications
Being an offline-only model, the Honor Holly 4 offers mediocre specifications for the asking price. In fact, the specifications are better on the equally priced Honor 6X. Diving into the spec-sheet, the Honor Holly 4 sports a 5-inch HD display, in the age of Full HD smartphones.
It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset, which is an entry-level octa-core chip. The Snapdragon 430 is dated now and the fact that smartphones with Snapdragon 450 are making their way to the Indian market puts the Honor Holly 4 in question. Mated to the SoC is 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 128GB with a microSD card.
Cameras in the Honor Holly 4 include a 13MP rear sensor with PDAF and LED flash support. Up front, we get a 5MP front-facing camera. The camera application also offers modes such as time-lapse, manual mode, and several other colour modes. The Honor Holly 4 also captures slow motion videos.
