Customer Review

I bought the Honor Holly as a second smart phone, and the price also out of curiosity, to see what you can get for 119 euros so today.

My previous phone, the Razr i Motorola.

What I do not like so much the size of 5 inches, because you have to stretch your thumbs already partially or operate with two hands. Well, that can not be considered negative, since it is seen before now. However, I do not understand that the majority of today's smartphones have all this size.
Otherwise, I'm really surprised by the display: high resolution, fast response time, good color reproduction. The only negative point is that it attracts fingerprints apparently magical.

With the feel I am also satisfied. It is in spite of the size well in hand, the black version also has a roughened back (sort of leather structure). The thinness contributes to good haptics.

Speed-wise, I can not complain, but I also do not play on your phone, so I'm probably not the user who brings such a device to its limits.

This also applies to the service life. Normally I call 10 minutes a day or write 4-5 times over Whats App.
Occasionally, Google Maps or the Internet is also sometimes commonly used (at opening times, addresses, or to determine the like).
I have the Holly after loading can be standby time and simply have a day 4-5 times the battery level checked (otherwise done anything). It actually holds 505 hours (!!!) to be charged by without standby. That I know so not from Razr i. That has even after 72 hours (!) Of standby at the can. The absolutely superb standby time from Holly is just fantastic for me as a casual user. A big plus for the battery of me.

Does not perform as well are the cameras. Ok the front camera you can already use the skype or similar, but photos should not shoot it, because the are grottig. The camera on the back is not much better in low light, but delivers in good light acceptable recordings. But what disturbs here is the miserable long focus. Mostly you have to wait 5 seconds and was focused to sharp.
Another negative point of the camera: even with slight movements of smartphones jerky picture greatly. On my 2-year-old old Razr i is smooth as silk.
Well the cameras interest me personally but rather less, since I do not take pictures with a smartphone anyway normally. Still, it's nice to have the opportunity at your fingertips (eg when one has nen car accident, etc.).

Another negative point is that it is not to be stock Android and you get a bloatwareverseuchtes Android with EmoteUI Mayhem. But this point is only a small minus for me. Android Update 5 is supposed only at the end of the year to come, as first all other Honor smartphones are served.

All in all I am very satisfied with the holly. The 5-inch format and the outstanding feel of the Razr i avoid but that it is more than my second smartphone. However, I think every 3 days when charging the Razr i with a tear in his eye on the battery of Holly.
For the price you will not find many smart phones that are better (the Moto E2 perhaps), at least none with 16GB memory.

From me considering the price 5 Stars.
