The heart of the phone is the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ processor, working with 8 GB of RAM. Flash memories are available: 128 or 256 GB. The smartphone powers a 4000 mAh battery with 66 W fast charging and almost equally fast induction - 50 W. The smartphone works under the control of Android 10 with the Magic UI 4.0 interface. The premiere took place in China, so there is no mention of the presence of Google services yet - but there are rumors that the global variant of Honor V4 is to be certified by Google. The price of the phone is 3599 or 3999 yuan - depending on the selected memory. After conversion, it's about $ 560-620.

On the occasion of the launch, the head of Honor, George Zhao, confirmed that the company had established (although more correctly: renewed) contracts with key partners. Among them are mainly Qualcomm and MediaTek, as well as AMD, Micron Technology, Microsoft, Samsung, SK Hynix and Sony... This means Honor is back in the game for good and has access to the same technology as its competitors.
