Huawei's sub-brand Honor flooded the smartphone market with multiple offerings last year. The company focussed mainly on the budget segment, with good designs and efficient hardware. We also got the Honor Play, a powerful gaming-centric smartphone aimed at budget-conscious buyers.

I bought this phone for my lovely wife. Because her Samsung S7 screen broke and to fix its very expensive. I bought her this phone and at first she was not happy I spent that money on the phone. But few days later she is over the moon.

India's budget smartphone segment is the most active and decisive one right now, with a plethora of phone makers trying to dethrone Xiaomi and seize the pole position. Well, the Chinese giants are cluttering the market with new and updated smartphones every couple of months.
