Short Review
- The Honor Bee features a compact design with dimensions of 134.3 x 66.7 x 10 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 4.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Spreadtrum SC7731 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Mali-400MP2 GPU, paired with 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with f/2.0 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is adequate for basic selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 1730 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast charging and wireless charging features.
- The device runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) with EMUI Lite 3, providing a straightforward user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in black and white colors, though it does not feature water resistance.
- Overall, the Honor Bee is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for everyday use.
