Before the end of the year, Honor is all set to launch an upgrade to its popular Honor 6X. It is claimed that it will come with a beautiful display, better cameras and a powerful setup. The new Honor 7X is to be launched in the month of December. We have spent some time with the handset before it is officially launched. How did we like the Honor 7X at first glance? Let us tell you.
The metal unibody gives the phone strength and a solid feel. The grip is also good due to the matte black finish. The position of the buttons is good. All the ports are at the bottom. Honor has provided a 3.5mm headphone socket in the phone, which is a good thing. But it was disappointing to not see a USB Type-C port in the phone. The 18:9 aspect ratio dominates the entire front panel. It looks good, but due to the 5.93-inch screen, it is not easy to reach every edge while using it with one hand. The display looks quite sharp due to the full-HD + resolution. The colors are also punchy.
The back of the phone gives a glimpse of the Honor 8 Pro. The antenna bands are placed on the top and bottom. Honor has placed a fingerprint sensor on the back and it is easy to reach.
The new octa-core Kirin 659 chipset has been used in Honor 7X. It has 64 GB storage with 4 GB RAM. The phone runs on EMUI 5.1 based on Android 7.0 Nougat. Remember that Honor 6X is one of the first handsets to come with two rear cameras in the price range of Rs 15,000. The company has adopted the same strategy in Honor 7X as well. But this time the primary sensor of the rear part has become 16 megapixels. The secondary camera is still 2 megapixels which will work to measure depth. The camera app has also changed a bit, we will tell you about it in detail in the review.
Honor 7X is said to be launched at a very aggressive price. It is clear that the company will price this phone in such a way that it will be a direct challenge for Xiaomi Mi A1, Redmi Note 4 and Moto G5S Plus. In China, the 64 GB variant of Honor 7X is 1,699 Chinese Yuan (about Rs 16,850). The price is expected to be around the same in India as well. Remember that Honor 6X was also launched at the same price. If seen, Honor 7X is not a very big upgrade, so there will not be much difference in the price. Honor is also known for aggressive pricing. The company did the same with Honor 8 Pro as well. Compared to OnePlus 5, the price of this phone was also less and the specifications were also more powerful.
We will be testing every feature and specification of the Honor 7X in the coming weeks. After that, we will come up with a detailed review.
