Huawei G Play Mini becomes official in Italy

Today Huawei has made a new smartphone official in Italy. It's called G Play Mini for whatever reason, and it's already available to purchase for €229 ($254) without a carrier contract.

The Huawei G Play Mini is rather intriguing, because it has the exact same specs as the Honor 4C which got official in China yesterday, but the design is slightly different. This is most obvious in the upper part of the front side of the two devices.

Why the company chose to pair the internals of the Honor 4C with another design and name instead of simply releasing that in Italy is still a mystery.

Anyway, if you're interested in the Huawei G Play Mini, know that it has a 5-inch 720p IPS touchscreen, a 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, a 5 MP selfie snapper, 2GB of RAM, 8GB of expandable internal storage, and a 2,550 mAh battery.

It's powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 620 chipset, which sports a 1.2 GHz octa-core CPU, and it has dual-SIM support (though no 4G LTE).

The G Play Mini could be making it to other European countries soon, now that it's gone official in Italy, but there's no information about time frames yet.

Chinese smartphone maker Huawei on Tuesday unveiled the new Honor 4C smartphone. It succeeds the company’s Honor 3C smartphone, which was released in 2014.

According to Huawei, Honor 4C will first be released in the company’s home market, followed by other countries. The smartphone will go on sale at the Huawei’s Vmall online store as well as Alibaba’s Tmall store on May 7 and the registrations for the first sale are now open at both e-retailers.

Coming to the specifications, Honor 4C sports a 5-inch 720p HD display and packs 2GB of RAM, Android 4.4 with EM UI 3.0, dual-SIM support, and 2550 mAh battery. The smartphone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor or HiSilicon Kirin 620 octa-core processor depending on the variant. The phone is being offered in three variants – China Unicom 4G, China Mobile 4G, and China Telecom.

Other specifications of the phone include 13MP f2.0 primary camera, 5MP front shooter with 22mm wide-angle lens, 8GB of internal storage, and microSD card slot.
