Honor 7 Lite (5c) review: Lite and dark

26 July 2016
Like a deja vu all over again, we loved the Huawei P9 lite and it's back for more. Except this time, it's the Huawei Honor 7 Lite - though the differences are pretty slim.

              If display is tested with included and pre-installed protective film (can be seen in the pictures), it might reduce contrast and usability in sunlight. Notification led shows up fine in dark front.

              Camera is decent, though noise and watercolouring is present. Lightroom (and some other camera apps) can save raw image to process with less heavy hand ;)

                          Price difference to p9 lite is 120euros here in Finland.
                          My lite 7 does not have NFC.
                          At 199€ price im very pleased on this phone and i can recommend it to everybody
                          who are looking for sub 200€ smartphone.

                            BTW, notebookcheck found that p9 lite has worse contrast compared to 5c. I think that these models share displays and it just depends which one is placed in your p9 lite/5c/7 lite.
                            Its no secret that manufactures use different displays in the same model.

                              "Camera has excellent capabilities (if not a streamlined UI), but only average performance; better stills and video can be had elsewhere at this price point"
                              Where?
                              Only Nexus 5x can produce better pics, but it is overheating mess (Moto G4 similarly).
                              I dont think its the best phone, but for 219 euros (costs here), you can´t get better allrounder. All others have few serious weaknesses (performance, battery, overheating etc.)
