Price last checked: 29 Jun 2015. Confirm current price before buying.
The Honor 3 price in Malaysia starts from RM575, putting it in budget territory alongside a spec sheet that's fairly dated by today's standards but was reasonable for its 2013 release. Inside is Huawei's own K3V2E chipset, a quad-core 1.5 GHz processor paired with 2 GB RAM and 8 GB storage, expandable via microSD up to 32 GB. The 4.7-inch display runs at 720 x 1280 with a pixel density around 312 ppi, decent for everyday viewing.
Camera-wise, you get a 13 MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 1.3 MP front camera for basic video calls. The 2150 mAh battery keeps things running under Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, an OS version that's long since been superseded.
One standout here is build quality: the Honor 3 carries IP57 certification, meaning it resists dust and can survive submersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. That's a rare feature at this price point, even now.
