Honor 7X is still a great choice for $200 in US, most probably in EU too. So stopping production isn't a good choice since it still sells. DCI P3 support, I don't know why that matters but Honor 7X had a decent screen. I do although agree that their next iteration does require a better SoC, camera & battery to be able to compete with Xiaomi.

Honor’s budget smartphone lineup is currently made up of three smartphones in its 7-series, consisting of the Honor 7A, Honor 7C and Honor 7X.

I don't understand why you are making phones with similar price and making your phones to compete yours.

They do have a difference of 1k or 2k between them (base models), but yeah, they could have avoided it, especially the one in middle. I think they did it so that they don't fall behind Xiaomi (they have Redmi 5, Y2 & Note 5 at similar prices).

Even xiaomi released their phones at least after a month. As you said honor 7a and honor 7c was released just after a day. (May 29 & May 31)
Seems like they are using some kind of business tactics.

The Honor 7X doesn’t run on the very latest version of Android – we’re talking Nougat rather than Oreo here. But that doesn’t really matter too much.

Latest is Pie and IIRC 7x has oreo. EMUI makes oreo indistinguishable from marshmallow or even lollipop is because of iOS like stupid UI.

8x is rumoured to have 4900 mAh battery but a near 7" screen and notch

1 best phone at that price vs 3-5 jumbled phones have minor differences? That 1 phone will outsell them. This used to be Xiaomi's and Moto's strategy before 2016.

Xiaomi waits till the phone gets some success in China and then they release it in India (or the opposite in case of China getting a better RN5 Pro)

But you can get any of the Moto G5 (including s and plus) variants for 200$ and they have better UI.

Samsung does it as well. Heck, they have launched one phone under two names and prices

India is a price sensitive market. Believe it or not there are people who won't pay 1k more for RN5 compared to Redmi 5 just because it is 1k more (not because Redmi 5 is more compact). Maybe that's why companies are doing it.

For you, me & maybe others in this forum that 1k more might not be much, but for many it is.

I think 7X is the only good 18:9 display phone.

 

[TanmayBhat]

I feel honor should give update to 7x

 

[natwarlal]

This 7x was cheap in sale but now too high price.

 

[natwarlal]

Please give it in discount again. I don't have high budget.

Make Honor 8x great, not with EMUI!

It is rumored to have a 5000mAh battery but with a display of 6.8" or so. It has a notch, but a much smaller one.

7x with a modest thickness of 7.6mm and a weight of 165g, it nails that tough-to-define ‘just right’ sensation. That’s impressive in itself when you consider how big the phone’s screen is.

Why make the display that big when they aren't removing the notch?
