Not long ago, Huawei gave low-cost smartphone seekers a sweet surprise by showcasing the $130 Honor 3C alongside the more powerful Honor 3X. The former was reportedly made to go through a few popular benchmarking apps, where it showed off some impressive prowess.

The potential of the quad-core Mediatek MT6582 is no secret, especially for us here at GizChina. The Honor 3C uses comes with the very processor, and here’s what it did to the benchmarking apps it went through.

    Im kindof surprised the 6582 produces exact the same antutu results with a 720p screen then with a qhd screen like my onn v8 star for instance. gps seems to work fine with this processor and the psp emu runs as fluent on this as it does on a rk3188 based tablet with 2 gig ram. kindof impressive.

      Probably a case of better software optimization from Huawei?
      And that’s very impressive. Hoping to get my first MT6582 phone in the next few days!

    why not the MT6588 for the model “C” and the MT6592/95 for the model “X”?

    with those scores and that price, this could have been last year…

    I smell rigged benchmark scores… companies have been known to do this so I’m not so sure this isn’t the case here.
