Huawei Honor 4X[edit]
... that the Huawei Honor 4X has been compared favourably to other devices of the same price range, such as the second generation Moto G?

The article is new enough (16th to today), large enough (2500), neutral, cites sources, and doesn't appear to have any copyright violations (although I can't run the Earwig tool on this device). QPQ is fine, and there's no image in the nom. I think that it needs a new hook though - it uses source 2 for the price comparison and source 3 for the feature comparison, but the hook uses "devices" and the article only really compares the Honor to the Moto G, making the plural problematic. Perhaps a hook that directly compares features between the two, or a hook that mentions that it's in the same price range as the Moto G and the Xperia M2, but is the only phablet of the three? I'm open to whatever else you come up with. Mobile Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 18:17, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

- Err, sorry, I guess that I didn't communicate what I wanted to. So the issue is that, as the article reads right now:
- Source 2 compares the Honor with other devices (plural), but only in phone size
- Source 3 compares the Honor with one other device (singular), favorably
- So changing "devices" to "smartphones" doesn't fix the issue, which is that unless you're talking specifically about size, the Honor has been compared favorably to one device (singular), not devices (plural).
- How do you feel about either of:
ALT2: ... that while the Huawei Honor 4X is in the same price range as the second generation Moto G and the Sony Xperia M2, the Honor 4X is a phablet?ALT3: ... that while the Huawei Honor 4X is in the same price range as the second generation Moto G, one reviewer found the Honor superior in battery life, benchmarks, browsing, and graphics?
- ALT3 might be a bit on the advert-y side though. Ugh, I'm probably making mountains out of molehills. If you don't like either of the ALTs, please feel free to get a second opinion on whether your original hook is suitable. If someone else says it's fine, it's probably fine.

- Yeah, ALT2 is good. I agree that ALT3 is too advert-y. I would recommend changing the first "is" to "was" though, because mobile phone pricing decreases quickly.
