A Snapdragon 632 chipset runs the show here, paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage. That's a tight amount of space for apps and photos, but Honor's included a dedicated microSD slot that takes cards up to 256GB, so storage isn't a dead end. The 6.26-inch IPS LCD display uses a 19:9 ratio at 720 x 1520 resolution, which keeps things sharp enough for everyday browsing and video without pushing into flagship territory.
On the back, you get a 13MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture working alongside a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots, while the front houses an 8MP camera for selfies and video calls. Battery life is where this phone earns its keep: a 4000mAh cell should comfortably carry most users through a full day. Honor 8C price in Malaysia starts from RM422, and it comes in Midnight Black, Aurora Blue, or Platinum Gold.
It runs Android 8.1 Oreo with EMUI 8.2 on top, and still includes a rear fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm jack with active noise cancellation, both handy inclusions at this price point.
