| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Excellent metal unibody design with a premium look and feel, top notch build quality
- The metal body curves on the sides and along the edges, giving this phone a good in-hand feel
- Reasonably light at 165 grams
- The fingerprint scanner at the back is easy to reach and quick to unlock the phone
- Add to that the minimal bezel 18:9 display, and the Honor 7X is a definite looker
- Beautiful, large, immersive display - watching movies and games is a great experience
- Viewing angles are good too, and Honor lets you tweak the colour temperature to suit your preferences
- If your primary requirement is for a large, bezel-less display for reading content and watching movies, then the 7X will make a good choice
- Honor's custom EMUI skin is decent (though not the best) and has a thoughtful single-handed mode which makes the phone easier to use despite its big screen
- Good, solid, peppy performance backed by the same combination of processor and RAM as the Honor 9i
- Both rear and front camera clicks are good in well lit conditions - and both have bokeh mode
- Decent battery life - will comfortably last the work day with moderate use
|
- Stunning metal build and design - great handling, slim profile and sleek look - continuing the premium design tradition of the Honor line
- Very good fingerprint scanner with class-leading speed and accuracy
- Excellent, VR-Ready QHD display - great punch, superb contrast, and brightness
- EMUI is a decent Android overlay - and is filled to the brim with features that allow you to tweak pretty much every aspect of the UI - gesture support is rich too
- Good gallery, image editing, and music apps
- Excellent, flagship-worthy speed and performance, powered by the powerhouse Kirin 960 chipset, along with copious amount of RAM and smart memory management - on the whole, the performance is only slightly below the level of the Snapdragon 835 powered devices, and even that difference will be really difficult to spot in ordinary use
- Very good set of rear dual cameras - still images show mature processing with accurate colors, high detail level, and great dynamic range - the monochrome camera takes these up another notch (sans the colors, obviously) - lossless zoom works pretty well too
- Pretty decent low-light images too, and excellent long exposure photos
- The front camera does well too
- Video recording too is good (though not exceptional)
- Good, loud speaker
- Good audio output over headphones too
- Solid battery life - arguably among the best in modern phones with Quad HD displays
- Fast charging time
- On the whole, the phone is the closest competition to the excellent OnePlus 5 as on date - while performance is a tad lower and the user interface isn’t as light as OxygenOS, the Honor 8 Pro has a larger, higher-resolution screen which is better suited to VR and media use - additionally, there’s 128GB of internal storage and the possibility of expansion, which is more than what’s present on the 6GB/64GB variant of the OnePlus 5 - both phones feature dual-camera systems, which are excellent and on par with each other
- In the end, if you are looking for raw power and close-to-stock Android, then the OnePlus 5 is the way to go - but if a sleek and sexy device is what's on your mind, and stock Android is not a must, then the Honor 8 Pro takes the cake
|
| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- Performance is good in daily use, but graphically intensive games will stutter - there are better performing phones available in this price bracket
- Rear and front cameras are quite good but not the best - low light performance and portrait/bokeh mode are sometimes hit-and-miss
- Average loudspeaker - audio from videos and music is not the best
- No fast charging support - will take about two and a half hours to charge fully
- Uses the older micro-USB port, instead of the USB-C standard
- At this price range, the Honor 7X faces strong competition from the Xiaomi Mi A1 - while it doesn’t come with as impressive a display as the Honor 7X - it does boast a superior set of cameras, and stock Android OS (along with guaranteed Android updates in the future), which may make it an overall better choice for most users
|
- Unwieldy for one-handed usage and pocket-dwelling
- No waterproofing, a feature that's present in some of its top competition
