Honor Holly 3 Initial Impressions: Specs, Price and Availability.
So up until now what you've read from this post are the specifics considering this device at an initial phase. I used it for like 30-40 odd minutes & during that time I observed quite a lot about this device. The good thing which I can easily say is that that display even though being 720p feels good, Viewing angles are great. But considering the Chinese competition offering 1080p Display at this price point might be an issue, But personally, you won't feel it unless you're a pixel peeper. Another thing mentioning about this device is that It's quite huge. Though the back plate has a nice soft touch matte feel and it feels good when held. But the thing which I disliked the most were those shiny plastic edges around the honor Holly 3. These feel cheap and a scratch magnet, So head over to cases when you're considering to buy this device. Both Cameras are decent enough, which is expected considering the price. On-Screen buttons are always a pleasure to witness, but that unnecessary chin and similar matching forehead help in making this device huge, which is not acceptable. One final thing to discuss would be that it does not have a fingerprint scanner. Which could be a strange thing to witness as most of the devices in this price segment have a fingerprint scanner/sensor.
That being this device packs some useful things such as a massive 3100mAh battery, Decent Display, On-Screen buttons, A Clean UI which might check a lot of boxes in a user's mind who are considering for a budget oriented device. This device was an unexpected thing that happened at the event & all of the media was surprised to see it. Though it's worth mentioning that it'll be interesting to see how it performs against the chinese brands having devices like Redmi 3S Prime, LeEco LE 1S, Redmi Note 3, Asus Zenfone Max etc. Or even the recently announced Coolpad Note 5 from Coolpad. Let me know what your thoughts are considering this device.
