      2. Both honor 3C and honor 4C have DTS sound system but Honor 4C has a relatively faster sound and it has Notification LED as well.

  4. Useless phone.. Got this phone , used for a week and sold it .. Bad battery life specially on Standby . I charge the phone at night to 100% and in the morning it will be 75% without using it.. and it heats up when using 3G …

    Got Z8 Plus and totally satisfied now.. Build quality is good ! 4GLTE Supported , bigger battery, stock andriod 🙂 and Separate SD Card slot .. 🙂 Amazing phone for just 19,600PKR 🙂 so I would suggest anyone who is buying this phone to get Z8 Plus instead and you will not regret buying it 🙂

    1. Bro I think ap k cell ma koi problem ho ga q k mane jitne logon ko ye set use krte dekha ha un sb ka kehna ha k set bht acha ha r battery life b bht achi ha. Standby py to 5 din se zada nikalta ha ye aur specs bht fit hn iski.

      1. I doubt it . Anyways.. Best of luck buying it .. I am loving Z8 Plus 😉 fantastic phone by QMobile

    2. i thing u r wrong only the battery life is poor but this phone dose support ultra power saving mode just enable it and u will get more battery backup
      and this phone more powerful chipset & GPU then the Z8 plus
      z8 plus only has adreno 306 GPU not enough to play Graphics rich games with better ferfomence
      And the benchmarks of honor 4c & z8 plus has very much differance
