Huawei Honor 7 review: Rags to riches

31 July 2015
The Honor 7 is Huawei's bid to bring an extra touch of class to the upper midrange. Some serious hardware in a highly attractive shell may as well help the Chinese pull it off. Whether it is meant to co-exist with the P8 flagship or be its alternative...

"Huawei Honor 7 is equipped with a pretty standard IPS LCD panel with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. With a diagonal of 5.2-inches, it is slightly bigger than the 5.0-inch Honor 6. The pixel density is pretty good as well at 424ppi."

If this was an IPhone review, it would had been like extraordinary, ahead of its time, revolutionary!

    I will take the Honor 7 64 GB Dual Sim version any day over Samsung Galaxy S6 32 any given day only if it is priced at 450 USD$

      I don't agree that it is better than the P8. It has a worse screen that is noticeably inferior side-by side (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTv0CPnzD_A), less battery life in web browsing by 3 hours, even though the battery is around 25% bigger (the most important battery life measurement for a smartphone), no OIS for the camera, it's 2mm thicker, despite same screen size and unlike the P8 with it's flush camera, the Honor 7's camera sticks out like an unwanted massive pimple and it's photos are also very inferior to the P8's.

          I am a little torn between this an the Oneplus 2 though this seems to have more features. If it will have developer support, then it will definitely be a better option.

            The mx5 has not a more powerful Gpu.

            It's the same power
