Huawei Honor Holly 2 Plus is the sequel to the Honor Holly, which was launched back in 2014. The affordable 4G-enabled smartphone packs in an HD IPS display, capable cameras, and a quad-core processor. It appears to have its sight set on competing with battery-heavy rival offerings, including the recently-unveiled Gionee M5 Mini, with a huge 4,000mAh juicer under the hood.
Design and Display
Sporting a polycarbonate body, the Honor Holly 2 Plus offers the sort of design most budget smartphones usually have. The textured feel on the rear will, at least, help ensure you don’t end up dropping it every now and then.
It measures 9.7 millimetres in thickness and 160 grams in weight. The device comes with a 5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. You should expect decent clarity and enjoyable viewing on this screen.
Camera and Storage
The Huawei Honor Holly 2 Plus looks ready to serve up some great shots through the robust, six-lens 13-megapixel snapper with an f/2.0 aperture and LED flash on its rear. Selfie lovers are also catered for by a respectable 5-megapixel front-facing camera.
Onboard storage memory is 16 GB and there is a microSD card slot for storage expansion by up to 128 GB.
Performance and OS
Under the hood, the Huawei Honor Holly 2 Plus carries a quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor clocked at 1.3 GHz and paired with a Mali-T720 GPU. The 2 GB of RAM provided should help ensure you fully enjoy whatever level of multi-tasking the CPU is capable of handling.
The Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system provided offers you good value for your money. The OS has Huawei’s Emotion UI 3.1 laid on top of it.
Other Features
The major selling point of the Honor Holly 2 Plus is its battery with a massive capacity of 4,000 mAh – similar to what is provided on the new Gionee M5 Mini.
Users are promised battery life of almost four days for average use and up to two days for heavy use. A power saving technology helps keep your device alive for up to 24 hours when battery charge drops to 10 percent.
Huawei Honor Holly 2 Plus offers super-fast 4G LTE connectivity and dual-SIM functionality. You also get the usual connectivity options, including Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n.
Pricing and Availability
Huawei Honor Holly 2 Plus is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Huawei Honor Holly 2 Plus Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N24,000 to N35,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
