Huawei Honor 7X.

The Honor 7X is a lot of phone for a very reasonable price. If you don’t want to join the 1K flagship clubbut still want to benefit from modern trends and features such as narrow bezels and dual lenses, then it’s a fantastic choice.

When I learned I’d be writing reviews for Android Authority, I was super excited at the prospect of being sent technology to test. As a tech nerd, this seemed like the perfect scenario. What I didn’t quite realize is that it would often mean having to ditch the device I chose to buy for a while, in order to live with something that may perhaps be more of a budget choice.

The Honor 7X is a lot of phone for a very reasonable price.

But that turns out to be quite a good yard stick to judge a new device by – especially one that is poised as a more budget-friendly option: how much does this phone make me miss my Galaxy S8?

The Honor 7X passes this test pretty darn well for a phone that’s only going to set you back $200 USD (£189.99 in the UK). It’s significantly more affordable than a high-end flagship from Samsung or Google. But actually, the gulf in terms of the quality and experience doesn’t seem all that big. In fact, it almost seems too narrow. It almost makes me wonder why I spent as much as I did!
price in india is 12,999 rs.

Without further ado, here’s our Honor 7X review!

      Design

To look at the Honor 7X it’s nice and functional, if not exactly jaw dropping. The biggest selling point in terms of aesthetics is definitely the 82.9% screen-to-body ratio. It’s not quite as impressive as something like the S8 or the iPhone X but it definitely makes it feel like a 2017 phone and puts it ahead of the Pixel 2XL even which can only claim 76.4%.

That screen is quite square with sharp edges, which can look a little out-of-place on the rounded body, but it’s not a big deal. The design comes in black, blue and gold and I was given the blue version to play with. As is often the case, the coloring makes itself known around the sides and across the back which almost gives the impression of it being a very slim case (a minimal case, even!). The matte finish is understated and metal construction feels premium. It’s not particularly prone to picking up finger prints, which is something I haven’t been able to say for a phone for a while! The rounded edges and weighty metal also make this a phone that feels good to hold in the hand.

There are no physical buttons and the lenses are only slightly raised on the back. All in all, I’d describe the looks of this phone as ‘no fireworks, no disasters’. But it wins points for keeping up with 2017 design trends and for that nice big screen.

Camera

Another area where the budget nature of the device starts to show is in the camera, though it’s not entirely a fail here either. On the plus side, the Honor 7X manages to keep up with yet another current trend by featuring dual lenses. The primary shooter is 16 MP, which is backed up by a secondary 2 MP lens. The purpose of this second lens is to pull off the currently-ubiquitous ‘portrait mode’ shots that apply fake Bokeh. What’s interesting though is that the 8 MP front-facing selfie camera is also capable of the same effect, despite having just the one lens. This is obviously achieved through software trickery, which is impressive – especially as there is no discernible difference between the effects produced by either side.
