With Malaysia considered as one of Asia's major tech-hubs, and with recent reports pointing at the fact that tablets with 3G connectivity are embraced with open arms by people in Asia, Huawei Honor is expected to pose intense competition to the likes of other major technology brands such as Samsung and Apple in Asia.

• 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm processor
• 1GB RAM
• Sim-card slot for making/receiving calls
• 5MP primary camera, and a VGA secondary camera
• 16GB internal storage
• MicroSD card slot for expansion of internal storage
