Huawei Honor Looks Very Similar to iPhone (with video!)

Huawei has been selling their pretty decent phones for comparatively ridiculously cheap, and guess what, their latest flagship phone looks very similar to an iPhone. The best part? It packs a 1.4GHz processor under a 4-inch display. Enjoy the video and additional hands-on gallery below.

The Honor runs Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread on top of a single-core 1.4GHz processor, packs a 4-inch FWVGA (854 X 480) capacitive screen, an 8-megapixel rear camera, 2-megapixel front camera, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage with microSD memory expansion up to 32GB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio, and a hefty 1900mAh battery. The Gingerbread powered handset is a bit thicker than some of its competitors, measuring in at 10.9mm at its thinnest point, weighing in at .03 lbs. What’s more, it has a handful of frequencies, including GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 /1900 and the WCDMA/HSPA+ 900 / AWS / 2100 bands (compatible with T-Mobile’s US 3G).

Its 2-megapixel front-facing shooter should give you some high-quality video chat.

The 8 megapixel rear facing camera supports 720p video recording.

The 4 capacitive buttons at the bottom are more than enough to distinguish it from an iPhone.

It is also quite thin at 10.9mm, but that’s definitely thicker than the iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy S2.

The phone will first ship in black with more color offerings to follow. Huawei added that the Hono comes with an “exclusive Huawei user interface with a weather widget”, that sounds like the 3D UI we see on the Huawei Vision. And the Honor should be hitting Asia-Pacific, China, Russia, and the Middle East in the fourth quarter, that’s Christmas season! For the pricing, there’s no word on it yet, but we’re guessing it should cost less than $400. However, for that price point, there are many better choices out there. Even the dual-core Xiaomi phone is just 2,000 yuan ($313). So, this thing will fail if it costs more than the Xiaomi phone. Huawei, got that?
