Honor 7X is on sale

Honor today released the latest product in its flagship Honor X-series range for a rather good €299.

The Honor 7X is the first smartphone to feature Honor FullView Display; a 5.93 inch edge-to-edge, bezel-less screen design that provides good display quality and achieves an extraordinary high screen-to-body ratio, meaning that users can enjoy striking images on a sleek, compact phone which comfortably fits into the palm of their hand.

In addition, the max-ed bezel-less screen and dual-lens 16MP + 2MP rear camera with large aperture and fast focusing means DSLR-level photo quality and shooting experience is at the selfie-lovers' fingertips. Combined with a powerful octal-core Kirin 659 and graphics processing unit (GPU), the Honor 7X provides a clarity and user experience that is incomparable at this highly competitive price.

The Honor 7X has a 8:9 ratio, 5.93 inch FHD+ display with 2160 X 1080 resolution providing ultra-high definition. It has a metallic chassis and rounded edges and an 18:9 screen. Honor tells us that the 18:9 screen ratio is close to the 21:9 ratio used by cinemas, meaning that the screen delivers an outstandingly close cinema-like experience to users – if you go to a cinema with a six inch screen.

It has a dual-lens 16MP + 2MP rear camera with Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF) enables focusing in as fast as 0.18 seconds. Combined with a large aperture (F/0.95 - F/16) that gives images a DSLR-level depth of field effect.

The Honor 7X is powered by an octal-core Kirin 659 processor at 2.36GHz and is equipped with 4GB RAM and EMUI5.1. A microSD card of up to 256 GB can be used to increase data storage so that hundreds of TV episodes can be downloaded and stored to watch offline. Smart optimization and file management features prevents the degradation of Android performance over time.

Even with the larger FullView Display, a single charge of the 3,340 mAh battery enables Honor 7X to be on the go for more than a day. Thanks to the power saving technology and the Ultra Power Saving Mode, people can now enjoy a full season of their favorite TV series or 91 hours of music, on one charge, it's claimed.

George Dhau, the President of Honor said "The Honor 7X is the leading choice for users who want to enjoy rich functionality with the benefits of a bezel-less phone, while on a limited budget. Additionally, Honor is immensely proud of the quality control it undertakes in producing every phone - Honor 7X was dropped over 4,800 times in the lab in testing - so users can be assured that better value for money doesn't compromise our high-end quality."
