The smartphone went on sale in 2016. The Huawei GT3 is a mid-range device, solid both in terms of stuffing and quality of workmanship. The price is also rather big: for a smartphone they ask for at least $ 211 (relevant at the time of writing the review). Now is the time that with such a budget, you can count on buying a smartphone with a decent design, vigorous performance, an adequate camera, and decent performance in general. So let's see if the subject meets the requirements of the modern prudent buyer.

By the way, an interesting story came out with the names of the device. At the start of sales, the model was only available for the Chinese market, called the Honor Play 5C. Then came the version aimed at the European market. In Russia, the smartphone is known as Honor 5C. The name Huawei GT3 is relevant exclusively for Ukraine.Moreover, the confusion in the names was not limited to. IN Chinese version there is a fingerprint scanner, but in the Russian one - no: thanks, Huawei, for that.

The smartphone has a decent, and most importantly, balanced filling.

Design

For the manufacture of the case, the manufacturer used plastic (the main frame), and the back part was made of metal. The side ribs are stylized as metal, the front part is covered with glass.

And again about the metal cover: it is very, very prone to scratches. As for the body colors, there are options: gray, silver and gold.

Of the interesting things on the front panel, we can highlight the presence of a light indicator that notifies about missed events. Navigation buttons are displayed on the screen.

The buttons for controlling the volume and power received a classic arrangement on the edge on the right. On the left edge there is a combined tray for a USB flash drive and a SIM. There is space for the 3.5 mm jack on the top edge, for the main speaker and the MicroUSB connector on the bottom.

CPU

Huawei GT3 received an 8-core HiSilicon Kirin 650 processor. In this case, 4 cores operate at 2 GHz, and the remaining 4 are limited to 1.7 GHz. The Mali-830MP2 is used as an integrated video chip. In terms of its performance, the Kirin 650 is not inferior to competitors from the same segment from MediaTek and Qualcomm. However, it is made using the 16 nm process technology, which gives an advantage in terms of energy saving and heat reduction.

When testing the performance of iron in Antutu, the result exceeded the mark of 50 thousand points. A fairly solid result awaits the user not only in synthetic tests, but also in real scenarios of using the device. Trivial tasks are performed with noticeable smoothness and speed. Iron also copes with games with dignity: most will go to maximum settings, "Tanks" and GTA: SA - on medium.

Memory

O the necessary minimum random access memory each user has their own views. As a rule, the amount of RAM is chosen based on the tasks that will be put in front of the smartphone. However, preferences are often based on generally accepted standards and opinions. The Huawei GT3 has 2 GB of RAM, which is enough for both work and play. The secret to performance isn't just volume and quantity: optimization rules, and Apple has proven it long ago.

But the memory for storing applications and other things is 16 GB, of which 10.8 GB is available. That's enough for your favorite apps. But, since there is enough performance, and the screen is very good, for sure, the user will want to load the device with toys and movies. In this case, you can install a MicroSD memory card (up to 128 GB), having previously donated the second SIM slot.

Autonomous work

A non-removable 3000 mAh battery is used to ensure operation away from the outlet. For such a device, a battery is what you need, since the manufacturer has done a solid job on optimizing both hardware and software. As a result, with moderate use, the battery can easily withstand 2 days. Or a day in active use. With the help of a 2A charger, the charge level is replenished in 2.5 hours (or in 4 hours with a current of 1A).

Camera

Huawei GT3 is equipped with a gorgeous 13 MP main camera, and an 8 MP front camera. Both modules received an aperture value of F / 2.0, and the ability to shoot FullHD video (30 fps). The camera app interface is very simple and easy to use for quick shooting. But, at the same time, it contains a lot of settings (including manual ones) and possibilities. Among the available modes, "Light" is of particular interest, which contains optimal settings for taking pictures of the night landscape.

The user can independently set the parameters of ISO, shutter speed (up to 8 s), white balance temperature, and manually set the focus. Some manual settings available even in video mode. By the way, you can record Timelapse and SlowMotion videos. With the main camera, you can take really high-quality pictures: with good detail, color reproduction, and practically without artifacts. And the video is written in excellent quality.

Getting a decent shot during the day is easy. For shooting in more difficult lighting conditions, it is necessary to be able to use the manual settings correctly. The final result is not comparable with the flagship devices, but it is quite acceptable. The front camera has a shooting angle of 70 degrees, and lacks autofocus. The quality of the images obtained is quite acceptable, but only in good daylight.

Display

Smartphone installed IPS display diagonal 5.2 inches, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080. The pixel density is very high: 424 ppi. The screen is good in all respects. It has excellent viewing angles, high-quality picture and color reproduction. Due to the sufficient brightness and the absence of an air gap, the contents of the screen are visible in bright daytime weather. And LTPS and GFF technologies allow image contrast to remain virtually unchanged in all conditions.

Also, the user can independently select the image parameters to his liking in special section... But, nothing is perfect: there is no oleophobic coating on the glass, so the finger will not slide very easily, and it will not be easy to wipe off the remaining prints.

Networking & Scanner

As already mentioned, the Huawei GT3 has a combined slot that can accommodate 2 SIM cards, if you refuse to install a flash drive. The device can work in 2G / 3G / 4G networks. In the presence of wireless modules Bluetooth 4.1LE, and even NFC. But WiFi, alas, only works in one band (2.4 GHz). GPS, Glonass and Baidu are responsible for navigation: Huawei GT3 confidently copes with the role of a navigator. Unexpectedly: Smartphone does not support connection external devices using OTG.

The GT3, like the Chinese version, has a fingerprint scanner. The sensor is located on the back panel under the camera peephole. Reacts to touch quickly, recognizes prints correctly. It can be used not only to unlock the screen, but also to flip through pictures, as well as to quickly launch / hide the notification curtain.

Sound

The grille of the multimedia speaker is located on the lower edge. It may seem that the smartphone has 2 stereo speakers, but this is not the case. Additional holes are designed to maintain symmetry in the design. There is a second microphone for noise canceling, located at the top. Multimedia and spoken speakers pleases with both volume and sound quality.

Software part

The smartphone comes with an operating Android system 6.0 on board. Traditionally for devices from this manufacturer, the EMUI 4.1 shell is installed on top of the system. She changes dramatically appearance interface and all standard applications, expands the possibilities for customizing the OS. All applications are on the desktops, and there is no button to open the menu. The shell will appeal to those who are bored standard interface Android, and fans to customize everything "for themselves."

Pros and cons of Huawei GT3

Who is the smartphone for

Our review of the smartphone Huawei GT3

In outline: good smartphone but not perfect. It has drawbacks, but you cannot call them critical. Also, the Huawei GT3 has strong competitors: comparable in quality, lower price, and even with 3 GB of RAM. Nevertheless, not everyone is a fan of Meizu, therefore, the device discussed in this review can become a very good alternative for many. The brand is quite recognizable, the price is not prohibitive, the filling is normal - well, you yourself understand.

We offer you to watch a video review of the Honor 5C, identical to the Huawei GT3, only without a fingerprint sensor.

Video review Huawei GT3

Huawei GT3 price is subject to availability. If the model is outdated and not for sale then there is no price.

Average price of Huawei GT3 in stores.

Today we get to know the Huawei GT3, a pretty device of average price segment for 6000 UAH On the background Chinese Meizu and Xiaomi may be scared off by such a price, but you should go for devices from well-known companies with at least $ 200 in your pocket.
As a rule, with such a budget, you can choose a device with an interesting design, normal characteristics and even working cameras. But which of these is in the Huawei GT3?

Appearance

Huawei GT3 is a device made of glass, plastic and metal. The combination is standard, but the company managed to create a smartphone unlike other models.
The back part is decorated with a rather thick sheet of metal, the frame is made of plastic with a linear pattern.
Huawei GT3 turned out to be quite convenient. He has a medium size that allows you to operate the device with one hand and is absolutely familiar, convenient location all buttons and connectors.
In addition, we can only note that the indicator of missed events on the front panel and a fingerprint scanner on the back.
The sensor works well and quickly and also makes it easier to operate. By swiping down and up, you can open and close the notification panel, flip through photos in the gallery and take photos in the camera. In practice, these functions are useful.
In addition to the dark gray, the smartphone is available in a gold body color.

Screen

Most of the front side is occupied by a 2.5-inch IPS display with Full HD resolution.
The screen has a good margin of brightness, normal contrast and accurate natural color reproduction.
It is possible to adjust the color temperature and control mode with gloves. The only gripe is the practically absent oleophobic coating and this can spoil a little general impression from your smartphone.
On the other hand, a protective film will be glued to the display out of the box, which hides this flaw.

Iron

From the point of view of hardware, a smartphone can please with an eight-core platform own development HiSilicon Kirin 650, two gigabytes of RAM and 16 GB of storage.
It will be possible to install a memory card only by donating a second SIM card and because the tray is hybrid here.
In everyday tasks, the smartphone is shown from the good side, it is fast enough, so it is comfortable to use, but with heavy applications, in particular games, you will have to observe at least a long load, which will not please demanding users.

Software

As in all Huawei smartphones - Android 6. is covered by the proprietary shell EMUI 4.1, which leaves little of a pure android. Controversial point EMUI can be considered a bright design, but you can customize the order and number of on-screen keys, the option background work and program access to the Internet and much more.

Autonomy

You don't expect anything special from the built-in 3000 milliampere battery, but the Kirin 650 platform is made according to the 16 nanometer process technology, so the operating time is normal, at least you can count on a day of work and 5 hours active screen, although with less load, the smartphone will work for two days.

Cameras

Huawei GT3 received two cameras with a resolution of 13 and 8 megapixels, aperture F 2.0 and the ability to shoot Full HD video.
The proprietary app includes HDR shooting modes, fully manual settings, as well as a light mode designed for using a tripod and taking pictures with artistic effects at night.
The camera can be described as good, although not the fastest: the speed of launching, focusing, processing and saving photos corresponds to classmates and lags noticeably behind the flagships.
There are a minimum of remarks for daytime photographs. In most of the frames taken, the colors look natural, small details are preserved, except that the algorithms add a little saturation.
At night, the focusing speed drops, details deteriorate, but the camera still remains working. The shots taken are suitable for social networks to share with friends and parents.
The front module is also good. The lens is wide-angle, with sufficient light you can take good selfies.
