Honor 7X: An overview (part I)

[SaiyanGoku]

Pixel 2/XL & Sony phones have big bezels & no 3.5mm jack. Considering them Mi A2 isn't even a big offender considering the price.

Google wants to push their wireless earphones. Sony is still living in 2012. Mi A2 is a huge compromise for someone wanting an Android One phone (Xiaomi phones generally have good custom rom support to remove miui).

The Honor 7X is the newest smartphone to sport an 18:9 aspect ratio screen

7x was launched in December 2017.

Yeah, but they were the ones mocking Apple during first Pixel phone launch.

Honor 7x is a good phone but Honor has launched the 8X this week.

No, the new 6" 18:9 phones are longer than old 5,5" ones. Compared an old Vivo & Samsung C7 with Asus Zenfone Max

I think they should make smaller phones then. No wonder phones are bending in pockets.

People want slipper sized phones so much that they can compromise with TFT 720p display to watch camrip 240p movies.

For most people bigger is better (in terms of screen size)

The metal body curves on the sides and along the edges, giving this phone a good in-hand feel. The power and volume buttons are positioned on the right and we found that we had to stretch to hit the volume buttons. The loudspeaker, 3.5mm headphones socket, primary microphone, and Micro-USB port are all on the bottom. The dual camera setup at the back is accompanied by a single-LED flash. Honor has gone with two distinct rings instead of a single unit like we’ve seen on most phones recently.

the device offers an inbuilt memory of 32GB, which can be further increased by using a microSD card of your preferred capacity within 256GB. This gives a huge storage option to the user for storing huge data and files in the smartphone. It is a dual SIM phone with both slots compatible with 4G and VoLTE, while other connectivity features include 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, v4.1 Bluetooth v4.1, GPS and a microUSB 2.0 port for charging and data transfer.

The Honor 7x is probably the last big launch we'll see this year with an 18:9 screen and they're helping to end the year with a bang. Right up front we can tell you: this kind of device, with a screen this good and at this price — it's a killer proposition.

This is unfortunately true.

The Honor 7X ships with EMUI 5.1 running over Android 7.1 Nougat. While not hugely different, it brings a number of small improvements over EMUI 5.0, including better resource management, an improved gallery, and faster app launching.

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. With the 7X offering the best specifications of the lot.

The Honor 7X, sports a metal unibody design with 2.5D curved glass and a 5.93-inch FullView Display. Honor says that the 18:9 display offers a screen-to-body ratio of 83%, letting you enjoy more screen, with less bezels.

In the camera department, the Honor 7X sports a dual-rear camera setup with a 16MP sensor that’s aided by a 2MP unit. As with most other dual-lens setups, it allows for bokeh shots as well as the ability to change focus and aperture after a photo has been taken.

Over on the front, you get an 8MP camera. This also plays a part in Face Unlock, a feature which is fast becoming a staple with all smartphones.

How "recent" phones are you talking about? 2015? 2016?

Anybody who can spend ~10k on a 256GB microsd card and then use it on a 7x is unaware of hard disks or that better phones exist.

EMUI doesn't matter. All it does in terms of performance is degrade it over stock android.

The design still looks very similar to the higher-priced Honor 9i, but with a few differences. There is now an ‘Honor’ branding on the bottom chin and the camera layout on the rear consists of two separate lenses mounted horizontally. Thankfully, the change in layout is only cosmetic and the performance of the cheaper 7x appears identical to that of the 9i, more about this in the Camera section..
