Huawei Honor 4X 64-Bit Budget Smartphone With 5.5-Inch Display Tipped

Huawei seems set to launch a 64-bit budget smartphone called the Honor 4X, if a report based on Tenaa (China's equivalent of the FCC) certification is to be believed. The report speculates that the smartphone will be priced around CNY 800, which translates to roughly Rs. 8,000.

The Tenaa certification listing is for a smartphone with model name Huawei Honor Che1-CL10, and this is claimed to be the Huawei Honor 4X by Gizchina, which first spotted the listing. No details about the availability of the anticipated Honor 4X smartphone have been revealed as yet.

As listed on Tenaa, the Honor Che1-CL10 (the rumoured Huawei Honor 4X) is seen to include a 5.5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels) display; a 1.2GHz 64-bit Snapdragon processor (number of cores unspecified); 2GB of RAM; a 13-megapixel rear camera; a 5-megapixel front camera; 8GB of inbuilt storage with expandability via microSD card (up to 32GB); LTE connectivity, and Android 4.4.3 KitKat.

The Chinese telecom company had recently launched the Honor 6 Extreme Edition at an event in Beijing, China. The smartphone is a limited edition update to the Huawei Honor 6 and company says that it will only make only 9,999 units of the Honor 6 Extreme Edition.

Pre-orders for the Honor 6 Extreme Edition will start from Tuesday, October 21, and the smartphone is priced at CNY 2,999 (approximately Rs. 29,900). There is no information about global availability of the smartphone.

The Honor 6 Extreme Edition packs Huawei's Kirin 928 SoC with LTE-A Cat.6 connectivity, instead of the 1.3GHz octa-core Kirin 920 SoC on the Honor 6. The octa-core Kirin 928 processor is clocked at 2GHz and is coupled with Mali T628MP4 GPU and 3GB of RAM.
