Friends+Design
- 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
Display
- 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
Software
- 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
Performance
- Good, solid, peppy performance backed by the same combination of processor and RAM as the Honor 9i
- Performance is good in daily use, but graphically intensive games will stutter - there are better performing phones available in this price bracket
Camera
- Both rear and front camera clicks are good in well lit conditions - and both have bokeh mode
- Rear and front cameras are quite good but not the best - low light performance and portrait/bokeh mode are sometimes hit-and-miss
Audio
- Average loudspeaker - audio from videos and music is not the best
Battery
- Decent battery life - will comfortably last the work day with moderate use
- No fast charging support - will take about two and a half hours to charge fully
More
- 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
