Design
- Metal finish, and a sturdy build
- Overall it's a compact phone that feels solid
- The fingerprint reader isn't the quickest of them out there
Display
- At its maximum brightness level, the Holly 4 display still feels dull and doesn't have the best visibility under bright sunlight
Software
- Huawei's custom EMUI interface is not the simplest one out there - it has plenty of bloatware, and is generally cluttered
Performance
- The performance is pretty average too, with the UI often lacking fluidity - browsing intensive websites or apps can get choppy and can start lagging quite a bit - it is only good for basic usage - and there are better performing phones in this price bracket
Camera
- Average rear camera - the colors are too saturated, and indoor photography is poor
- Average front camera too - the colours felt dull and faded, and you shouldn't expect crisp and accurate selfies here - most of the times the selfies will come out shaky, and you'll find yourself having to take multiple shots to pick the clearest photo
Audio
- The dual speakers are pretty ordinary too - they aren't loud enough even at the highest levels, and the sound gets muddled and unclear when set on loud
Battery
- Good battery life - will comfortably last the day
- Decent charging speed - lets you charge the device from zero to full in about 2 hours
More
- Pretty lightweight making it easy to carry around
- It also could have had better resolution (most of the top competition in this price range like the Moto G5 and the Redmi Note 4 have 1080p screens)
- On the whole, the likes of Redmi Note 4, or Moto G5, or even Honor's own 6X are similarly prices, and bring much more to the table
