Hot on the heels of launching the big-screen Honor 8X that marked the debut of the Kirin 710 in the mid-range segment, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has now launched the Honor 8C. The smartphone introduces the Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 to the world, which will soon be replacing the older Snapdragon 625. The Honor 8C was launched a month earlier in China, and in India, it is priced just lower than the Honor 8X, starting at Rs 11,999.
Like most Honor devices launched this year, the Honor 8C sports a notched display that stretches 6.26-inches diagonally. It has a 720p display with a 81.9 percent screen to body ratio and despite a notched display though, the Honor 8C has thick bezels below, something the company managed to avoid in the Honor 8X with a chip-on-film (COF) implementation.
The Honor 8C is powered by the Snapdragon 632. It marks the global debut of the chipset that was announced back in June at MWC Shanghai. The processor features an octa-core setup with four custom Kryo 250 Gold cores clocked at 1.8GHz for performance, along with four Kryo 250 Silver cores that are clocked at 1.8GHz for efficiency. Alongside that, the Honor 8C is offered in either 3GB or 4GB RAM along with 32GB or 64GB storage.
