Huawei launches the Honor 4X with Snapdragon 410 SoC, Dual 4G SIM in India

The Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, with it’s Internet smartphone brand “Honor”, has just launched a new smartphone, the Honor 4X, alongside the Huawei Honor 6 Plus, in India. The smartphone has a 5.5-inch display with the 720p resolution, just similar to what the device competes with – the Xiaomi Redmi Note and Yu Yureka.

This is a special variant for India, as unlike the HiSilicon chipset used for the Chinese unit, the Honor 4X that will retail in India, is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 64-bit processor, clocking at 1.2 GHz, and the prime reason for the same is to make it compatible with 4G LTE networks in India.

The camera combination includes a 13-megapixel rear and a 5-megapixel front-facing selfie shooter. The rear camera has a Single LED flash, and comes with a F/2.0 aperture. Being 7.9mm thick, it is good to see that Honor 4X comes packed with a 3000 mAh battery, which boasts about 72 hours of battery life on normal usage.

The connectivity options include 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS/ A-GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and USB 2.0. The device will be available in Black, White and Golden color variants. It is a Dual 4G SIM device, with 4G Blind-mate – Dual card dual standby. It supports all TDD and FDD LTE bands in India.
