Honor 5C deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	S21 The Honor 5C is a budget handset from Huawei that gives a lot more than it should for the money. With a fast octa-core processor, full HD 5.2 inch screen, strong 3,000 mAh battery and customisable fingerprint sensor, the Honor 5C puts a good fight in its price range. Read full review
100	Recombu | Alex Todd The Honor 5C presents itself as an unassuming, middling Android handset, but you'll quickly realise that it's full of surprises. Great performance, battery life and cameras elevated the 5C above our expectations and at it undercuts other top affordable offerings like the new Moto G4 giving it a serious edge. Read full review
87	Coolsmartphone | Majid Saleem Everyday tasks are done easily with good performance, a good screen, good battery life, decent camera and a surprisingly enjoyable software experience. For the non-nerdy "normal" person, or someone like my mother, this phone ticks all the boxes and I think is the best budget phone out there Read full review
84	NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer High-quality components are hidden behind the naked and at a first glance not really spectacular specifications... Our review sample clearly surpasses what is expected from this price range, particularly in terms of component quality. Read full review
80	AndroidPit | Benoit Pepicq What the Honor 5C does, it does well. For the price, it's a bargain. Read full review
80	TechRadar | Andrew Williams The Honor 5C is a great budget phone to make the choice for buyers at this end of the market that much trickier. With a good set of cameras, a strong screen and no annoying performance issues, this a bargain.... The Honor 5C is a very solid phone selling at an attractive price. It's spot on for those who want a phone without a contract. Read full review
70	Firstpost | Kunal Khullar It's a plain Jane phone which will struggle to survive in the market. Read full review
70	Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti The Honor 5C is a good phone, but not one that will make punters rush in... A better display and screen would have elevated the Honor 5C to the top of the charts but the lack of them doesn't harm its prospect much. Read full review
70	NDTV Gadgets | Ali Pardiwala The Honor 5C improves ever so slightly on its predecessor, thanks to a more capable SoC and small improvements to the camera. The design and build have also been bettered, and Android Marshmallow adds a few features and tweaks to the software. There isn't much to complain about here, especially at this price.

60	Expert Reviews | Katharine Byrne The Honor 5C excels when it comes to speed, but fails to excel in any other regard. Even its camera, which is arguably the phone's only other strong suit, is rather hit and miss depending on lighting conditions. Read full review
