Honor continues to release great devices even though their design aesthetics has raised eyebrows in the past as they often look very similar to modern Hauwei devices but it seems we’re all fine with it now.
The company has debuted its Honor X7, Honor x8, and Honor X9 4G (a variant of its Honor X9 5G) all of which have 4G network support, extra camera hardware, and a less-impressive display panel that we’ll talk about in a minute.
Honor X7 is an entry-level devixe
This is the more affordable of the duo and it comes with some entry-level specifications including a Snapdragon 680 chipset, a big 6.64-inch LCD panel with 720P resolution, and a waterdrop notch – which is synonymous with entry-level devices and an 8MP front-facing camera.
At the back is a dual-ring camera module that looks like a Huawei P50 series – housing the device’s quad rear camera setup which includes a 48MP primary sensor, a 5MP ultrawide sensor, and dual 2MP depth and macro sensors respectively.
The device runs Honor’s Magic UO 4.2 software which is based on the previous Android 11 OS with support for Google Play Services of course.
