How to choose an Honor smartphone?

If you decide to join the ranks of gadget lovers from Honor, we recommend that you carefully study the following parameters when buying a new smartphone:

1. Availability of Google Services. We will not go into the details of the brand's conflict with Google, but all models released in the second half of 2024-2025 do not have Google services installed and are not able to install them. Therefore, if you cannot do without the usual applications, then it is better to look towards other brands. In defense of Honor (and their father Huawei), we can say that they have developed their own app store and are actively developing cooperation with all popular developers.
2. Performance. Choose from next-generation octa- and six-core processors that run all your apps and games effortlessly.
3. RAM. The minimum RAM required for comfortable work without freezing is from 3 GB. If you are looking for a smartphone for gaming, then it is better to buy a model with 6 or 8 GB.
4. autonomy. The operating time without recharging should be at least a full working day in social networks, conversation, the Internet and basic applications. The minimum threshold is from 1750 mAh.
5. Display. Choose modern screens with a bright and fast matrix that will convey all colors without distortion, and its size will not interfere with control and convenient use.
6. Storage device. The minimum size at the moment is 32 GB. We advise you to choose models with memory from 64 GB and with the possibility of placing a memory card.

You can learn more about the ratings of smartphones for a specific price in these articles: models up to 30000, 25000, 20000, 15000, 10000, 5000 rubles.
