Huawei does not stand in one place, and just recently, it showed another budget model of a smartphone called Huawei Honor Bee 2. Today we have a review of the new smartphone Huawei Honor Bee 2, and we will consider the main features and whether to buy a device that worth $115. Let’s look at the main functions of the smartphone.
According to the manufacturer, the smartphone has the most budgetary technical specifications. But what makes a smartphone famous? This model has an interesting feature called Rainbow Light. What is Rainbow Light and what can it do? About this later, let’s look at the specification of the smartphone.

A little history, the first model of the company Huawei released two years ago in 2015. And after two years the company left the previous screen, which has a 4.5-inch size with a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels.
But this is not all the disadvantages of a budget smartphone, for some reason, the manufacturer decided to install a new primary camera for 5 megapixels on the new Honor Bee 2, although on the first generation the model had an 8-megapixel camera. Most likely this is to save on the production cost of a smartphone.
DESIGN: HUAWEI HONOR BEE 2
Great changes in the design of the company did not decide to go and left the same form and materials, as in the previous model. But she decided to add one option, which is present in more expensive models is Rainbow Light.
WHAT IS RAINBOW LIGHT?
Rainbow Light is another option on the smartphone that glows with different colors around the main camera. The main function is to notify the owner of new messages or notifications from the smartphone. It has a different color spectrum, so you will be able to choose the color of the notification to your taste. This function does not know anything else.
The material of the smartphone Honor Bee 2 has a cheap plastic, although the back surface of the device has a roughness, so the smartphone lies well in the hand. It is convenient, but of the same type, and the other one should not be expected from it. It will be available in Black, Gold, and White colors.
The location of the physical control buttons remained unchanged and is located as in the first generation of the model.
The rest of the smartphone has a familiar design. The control buttons are on the right side, on the bottom, USB port.
The sound speaker has a bottom location on the back cover.
That swings the assembly, and then there are no complaints. The producer did everything well and qualitatively; there are no squeaks or other sounds.
DISPLAY: HUAWEI HONOR BEE 2
As we mentioned above, the new generation of Honor Bee 2 received a similar screen as the first model of Honor Bee. The device received a display size of 4.5 inches with a resolution of 480×854 pixels. This screen is completely outdated, if this phone was released two years ago, like the first model, we would keep silent. But now for this model, this screen is very old and it’s embarrassing to release such a screen on the device market.
What did the producers look at? They released the same smartphone that was two years ago, just added the option Rainbow Light and that’s it.
HARDWARE: HUAWEI HONOR BEE 2
In the big account, the manufacturer of Huawei did not change much, only added a new processor Mediatek 6735. Yes, it really is slightly better than the old Spreadtrum SC7731, but great performance from the new one should not be expected.
As for RAM, then everything remained unchanged, here 1 GB is installed. The internal memory has the same 8GB. But you can expand with a microSD card up to 32GB.
The new processor works stably and smoothly for such a screen, but you can not play super heavy games in it. What do you think about the rest of the functions? Then there are no complaints and do not forget that this is a budget smartphone with low technical characteristics.
CAMERAS: HUAWEI HONOR BEE 2
It’s better to keep silent for the camera, but as I mentioned above, the manufacturer installed the main camera for 5-megapixels. But on the previous model, we installed 8-megapixels, which is the reason we can not say for sure. But we have a theory, it’s because the Rainbow Light option was installed on the smartphone, so the manufacturer had to reduce the number of pixels on Honor Bee 2.
The front camera remains the same, and without changes, here you will find a 2-megapixel front camera, which has weak characteristics. But it is perfect for video calls, but no more.
As with the previous model, the main camera is capable of shooting video in 1080p at 30fps, which is very suitable for fast shooting.
BATTERY: HUAWEI HONOR BEE 2
The new generation of Honor Bee 2 has an improved battery, capacity is 2100mach. It’s better than on the previous model, and it really is.
In our tests, the smartphone showed a good result. Here’s the data, when watching videos online on youtube the result showed 14 hours, with the games the result was 10 hours. Basically, we had enough for a full 2 days of one battery without recharging.
CONCLUSION: HUAWEI HONOR BEE 2
In general, for a budget series smartphone, Honor Bee 2 turned out very weak from the point of technical characteristics. Nowadays this phone has a big competition in the smartphone market; let’s say you can buy up to $ 100 such smartphones as Xiaomi Redmi 4A, Geotel Note, Blackview A9 Pro, and Bluboo Dual, which are much more productive and better. Since the price for the moment Honor Bee 2 is $ 115, and this is really an overcharge, but we think that it will decrease at times since this is a pre-sale release.
But a bonus, we wanted to note the presence of a new option Rainbow Light, which makes it attractive for a smartphone.
Therefore, we do not recommend you to buy this smartphone, this time the smartphone from Huawei received bad reviews. The minuses turned out to be much more than pluses.
