Many people think that Honor 7 is better than the company’s current flagship Huawei P8. As for the design, Honor 7 owns an aluminium alloy cover with a 5.2″ Full HD display, the same as Huawei P8‘s. Kirin 935 64-bit octa-core processor is in charge of powering the whole phone, paired with 3GB RAM. You will have 2 choices over the ROM. One is 16GB and the other is 64GB of internal storage. Huawei Honor 7 also supports a dual SIM 4G LTE and microSD for further expansion up to 128GB.

Moving on, the Huawei Honor 7 launch also revealed the camera, which is excellent when packing a 20MP f/2.0 Sony IMX230 Exmor RS sensor and fast Phase Detection Auto Focus. The front-facing snapper will make selfie lovers excited since it is capable of 8MP f/2.4 with 1.4micron pixel size, a 26 mm wide angle lens, a soft flash for better illumination and the latest version of Huawei’s auto “beautify” feature. It seems like Huwei Honor 7 will promise you the best shots of your summer!
