Following in the footsteps of the higher-end Honor 6 Plus, Huawei's Honor 4X is on its way to the UK too. In this case we haven't heard about an operator partner yet, but the Honor 4X should be up for grabs in the UK sometime in the second quarter of the year - so between April and June.

Otherwise, you'll still find the same 5.5-inch 720p touchscreen inside the Honor 4X, along with the 13 MP rear camera with LED flash, 5 MP front snapper, 2GB of RAM, 8GB of built-in storage (expandable via microSD), dual-SIM dual-standby functionality, 4G LTE support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and the 3,000 mAh battery. The Honor 4X will run Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box (with Emotion UI 3.0 on top), but Huawei is promising a Lollipop update for the handset this...
