Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Honor 7X (Blue, 4GB RAM + 32GB memory) - Unlocked International Model, No Warranty

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2018

Buyer beware! This is a great phone, but the 4 GB ram version does not work in the USA. It is not unlocked for all international countries and it doesn't say this anywhere I could find while researching this phone. The specs are great, camera is nice and it's easy to get set up; it walks you through which app to download and was a very simple process to set up! It even came with a simple clear silicone case I wasn't expecting. It booted up just fine and connected to Wi-Fi no problem, but it would not connect to my network (T-mobile) and I couldn't make or receive phone calls or texts. When I brought it into my carrier they informed me this version is not unlocked for use in the US and they had to dig through their own systems of reviews to find that out. Such a shame, I was really looking forward to this phone!

OREO UPDATE (12/5/18) (Oreo Scaled Up 7x Performance)

Android O Update Came Bundled With Numerous Features Which Were a Miss.
- VOLTE Support For Jio, Idea, Vodafone. (Being An Airtel User, Feeling Pissed)
- Navigation Bar Is The Main Highlight For Me Has Become More Productive. (One Can Hide Navigation Buttons To Obtain a Full Screen Display, Which Let's You Enjoy The Full Screen 18:9 Display)
- App Logos Have Gone Squircle In Shape, Which Google Calls Adaptive Icons, Looking Decent.
- EMUI Has Now Gone 8.0 From 5.1, Didn't Fine Any Much Difference Though.
- Face Unlock One Of The Firmware Highlights Has Been Added To 7x.
- The Update Also Adds an AR Lens Effect To The Honor 7X’s Camera Application That Lets You Add Layers To Selfies And Change The Background Of Photos. Camera Options Have Been Revived Comes With More Options Now, Felt Slight Improvement In Both Cameras.
- The Firmware Update Has Also Redesigned The Settings Menu & Phone Manager, Looks More Simplified & Productive Now.
- Security Patches From Google.
- Other Features Includes Link Up Of Two Bluetooth Devices, LinkedIn integration.. Etc.
For The 2 Days Since Firmware Update Didn't Notice Any Lag Or Performance Issues, 7x Is Doing Great After Update.

WHAT MAKES 7x WORTH BUYING

Design: Bezel-Less, Metallic, Edge-To-Edge All-Screen Design, Single Hand Usage, Beautiful Aluminium Back With Dual Camera Setup, Feels Like a Premium Flagship Model.
Camera: The Biggest Highlight Of The Device 16MP + 2MP Dual Primary Camera, For The Price it's Best In It's Class and I didn't Feel The Need To Mess With Any Settings. It's good for social media pics, selfies and The Random Life Moments Pics Which Are Always Captured By Phones.
Software: This Can Be a Personal Choice For Lot Of People As I Don't Like Stock Android Experience Nor Like To Install 3rd Party Skins Which Sometimes Slows, Hang & Heats The Phone, But I Do Like EMUI software. EMUI 5.1 Which Isn't The Latest But Still EMUI Is a Good Skin Because It Feels Like a Good Mix Of iOS And Android. Oreo Update On The Way.
Display: Bezel-Less 5.93-inch capacitive touchscreen Looks Beautiful, Bright, Sharp & Vivid. FHD+ 18:9 display with 1080 x 2160 pixels resolution and 407 PPI, Which Makes Videos & Pictures Much Detailed & Realistic With an Exceptionally Balanced Contrast. What Else Do You Want At This Price Point.
Connectivity: Working Great With My Airtel 4G, I Also Make Calls Using Jio4GVoice Software With This Phone From My JioFi Which Is Also Works Great On It. WiFi Is Running Smoothly With My BSNL Broadband My JioFi.
Performance: No Complains, 2.36GHz Kirin 659 octa core processor With Mali-T830 GPU & 4GB RAM, Is Working Smooth With Nougat, Hope Oreo Update Isn't Gonna Impede It's Performance. But So Far I Have Noticed No Issues Lags Or Slow Downs While Multitasking (I'm Not a Heavy Gamer So Not Sure How That Would Perform)
Battery: For Heavy Users Nothing Is Big, But For Guys Like Me With Normal Usage It's More Than Enough, After Sparingly Using It For a Day (I Charge My Phone Once a Day Most Probably Morning) I Get 35-40% Energy Left With The Battery Next Day.
Bluetooth: My Intex JoggerB Bluetooth Headset, Zook Bluetooth Speaker & Car's Blaupunkt Are Working Smoothly With My 7x.
Fingerprint: As Huawei Devices Are Known To Have Extremely Fast Fingerprint Unlocks, This Phone Too Has That. Apart From That it Can Capture Photos, Browse Gallery, Answer Calls, Stop Alarms & Even One Can Operate The Notification Panel From The Sensor.
Freebie: Comes With It's Own Protective Gel Case Alongwith The Phone, Which Is Of Great Quality & Is Made Of High Quality Material Which Makes Its Quite Clear.

WHAT LET 7x DOWN

Gorilla Glass: 7x Isn't a Corning Certified Phone, However It Comes With 2.5D Curved Glass Made Up Of Aluminum Silicate Which Is a High Grade Glass Both Durable And Scratch Resistant For Display Protection, But Gorilla Glass Would've Made it a More Confident Buy.
Fast Charging: The Biggest Let Down, It Takes Almost 2 Hours To Get It Fully Charged From 5% To 100%.
No USB C: For Being a Phone Released In 2018 It's Sad That This Phone Still Uses a Micro USB Port.
Selfie: I'm Complaining Because If You Can Provide Honor 9 Lite With a Front Dual Camera Setup Then Why Isn't With 7x. It's 8 MP Does a Fine Job But Why Huawei Not With 7x. But Believe Me It's 8MP Is Better Than iPhone 7 Plus Front Camera.
Dual 4G: Huawei Isn't Offering Dual 4G Support With 7x, Nor Do I Think Kirin 659 Is Capable Of It, But Snapdragon 636 Is.

Summing It Up, Great Phone At a Fantastic Price. I Would've Paid More For 64 GB Variant But I Didn't Need to, Samsung's
64GB SD Card Is Doing Great With My 7x. Overall It's a Pure Value For Money, You Get What You Pay For, Not Gonna Feel
Cheated As One Feels After Buying Flagship Devices, Unless You're Making a Fashion Statement.

Bought it in 2017. The phone is working without any issues as a back up phone with all games, YouTube etc. I mean this had to be one of the best budget phones of the last decade. Battery back up is good. Screen quality is great. Camera is great for the time it was released. The review is just a gratitude to this device.

First of oll
1)Packaging-worst i have ever seen
2)Buit and design-Go for it if have not used any smartphone with 18:9 display.I must say i looks amazing when you first hold your phone.although it has 5.99 inch display it does not feel bulky. All metal build makes it much reliable. Better than Mi A1 or even moto g5s plus.
3)display-18:9 looks awesome.media consumption or even social media consumption is amazing in such a tall display.
Viewing angles was good in indoors and outdoors no complaints.toch is not responsive as another phone i have used this must be because of tall display when you scroll down it scroll little bit slow as compared to any 16:9 display.
4)sensors-all sensors is present except gyroscope and IR blaster.If you want VR staffs then definitely this is not the ideal phone for you go with MI A1.Auto brightness sensors works very well.
5) speakers-It has just a single bottom firing speaker.It is now much louder as compared to MI A1 but it is similar to all other phones in this price range.
3.5 mm jack- audio via 3.5 mm jack is very good no problem but MI A1 has a dedicated DAC which makes it a clear winner.
6) wireless connectivity-it only supports single wifi 2.5 Ghz band.
Jio VOLTE works well.
7)sim slots-it will take two nano sims or a nano+sd card but 1st sim will hold 4G and 2nd sim will be 2G only.
8)call clarity is great both with ear piece and speakers.
9) software-It runs on Android Nougat 7.0 with Custom skin Emui 5.1 but company has promised for Android Oreo in the first quarter of 2018.
It comes preloaded with lot of bloatwares wich can be uninstallable.
10)Storage-go with 32 gb varient but keep in mind it provides on 19 gb of usable memory you definitely need a sd card.
11) battery-it amazing hwawei kirin 659 soc has been calibrated very well.Snapdragon 625 vs kirin 659.14nm vs 16 nm.definitely kirin 659 takes the lead here in terms of speed as well as battery optimization.
It takes 2 hrs10 mins to charge from 30-100 percent but when i have charged it 100 percent in night and i saw on morning it was 100 percent.stand by time is awesome.
12)RAM-ram management has done very well i never kill any app from the background it manages very well.
13) performance-It clearly beats MI A1 in speed tests and and it is much snapier than snapdragon 625 soc.
14)Gaming-good but sometimes it lags with high grafics settings in asphalt.No heating issues
15)CAMERA- front-8mp with beautification mode,potrait mode and much more i must say if you are looking for a selfie camera then go fo it
Can't be compared to MI A1 it is much better than MI A1. I will provide you some shots of front facing camera.
Rear camera-16+2 mp.much better than MI A1 portrait shots is better on MI A1. Sometimes portrait shots is like hit or miss on 7X.
It has wide range shots also and moving pictures shots along with lots of professional mode options.I will provide you some shots.
16) videos -front camera you can shoot only 720p videos not 1080 or 4K but looks very nice and surprisingly it is better than Mi A1 front camera even with 1080p fottage.No video stabilization.
Rear-1080p recording and it is similar to MI A1
But not 4K.focassing it best on 7X.
These are shots taken in portrait,bookeh and wide angle you decide what is best for you.

This is one hell of a beautiful phone, the most recommended colour would be Blue

Reviewed in India on April 19, 2018

This is one hell of a beautiful phone, the most recommended colour would be Blue. I got this phone with an exchange offer with my Redmi Note 3 and the deal was irresistible as I wanted to get rid of my Ageing RN3 and I didn't want to switch to the RN5 as Xiaomi don't release more than 1 OS upgrade, Here's my review:

Software:
Switching from MIUI to EMUI takes atleast a day to get used to but EMUI is as good as MIUI, I do miss some minor features of MIUI but EMUI has some features which MIUI doesn't. The best thing is This one will soon get the EMUI 8 which is based on the Android Oreo 8.0 which is already in Beta testing, Honor is also very fast in providing Google Security patch, and I've already got february 2018 security patch. EMUI is fluid, no lags whatsoever, got tons of features and you really wouldn't miss the MIUI.

SOC:
Kirin 659 is as powerful as Snapdrago 625 and Kirin is more power efficient than Snapdragon, with 10hrs of screen off with data on it consumed only 3% which is great. It's true Mali 830MP2 is weaker than the Adreno 506 but you won't notice any difference unless you play very high graphics games which I don't. The processor is very fast and you wouldn't feel anything different if you used RN3 or RN4 before.

Camera:
If you're switching from RN3 and RN4, the camera is just Insanely good. The back camera is amazing, the bokeh effects generated are quite nice, of course you can't compare it to Honor 8 Pro and View 10 but they're much better than the competitors in the same price segment, The colours reproduction, accuracy and contrast are quite nice, not only that you get the plethora of options and modes to alter each and every segment of camera, if you know to tinker with them well you'll love the end results you get with this camera. The front cam is equally good, in fact it's the best front cam I've used till now. The shutter speed is very fast and you can hold to capture burst shots.

Charging and battery:
Charging is a bit slow, it charges around 35% per hour taking around 150mins to fully charge, the battery drain is slow and will easily last you a whole day, so you can keep it charging for the night, it's not a big issue, It charges slower than the redmi phones. It consumes very little power when screen is off as the SOC is very power efficient

Display, Hardware and build quality:
The build quality is solid, it's full aluminium build with protruding camera lenses that give it a distinctive look, Honor also provided a free case with the phone, but I recommend getting a rugged cover for any damage by dropping, GSM arena says it's got the gorilla glass but I'm not sure if it's really got GG, but screen is solid enough, I've been using it without screen guard till now without any scratches. It's got gyroscope, it was software disabled but Honor enabled it with recent update, it's working and I confirmed it.The overall build is very good and with the blue tint it just looks amazing. The sound through headphones is awesome but the mono speaker isn't as awesome as other phones but it's adequate enough.

There's no IR blaster like the MI phones so it's something to remember. The screen is 5.93 HD+ display which is just amazing to look at, it's so beautiful with edge to edge, the viewing angles are excellent. I think the display is the best feature of this phone.

The phone has hybrid sim tray, so either 1 sim and 1sd card or 2 nano sims which is similar to the MI phones, if you plan to keep 2 sims and watch a lot of videos saved in phone then I suggest you go for the 64gb model.
The ram management is insanely good, i was able to keep 14 apps minimized in the phone without them reloading.

Conclusion:
with excellent camera, battery life, screen quality, build quality, features and software updates, front camera, the only thing bad about this device is a bit slow charging time but that's something to trade for all other features. This is better than RN5, Moto g5S+, lenovo k8, Nokia 6(2016) and the only phone better than this is Rn5 pro but it all depends on the deal you get, if you get great discount on this phone then don't even waste a second to order this as xiaomi won't give any discount on their hot selling rn5 pro.

I hope my review helped you, if it did and click the helpful button.
Thank you

Points to be Noted:
1. Full metal body, curved edges for better grip. Good to hold in hand.
2. 18:9 aspect ratio make the phone look slimmer but significantly taller.
3. In hand feel is very good. Feels satisfying to hold. But very slippery. A case is recommended, bundled one will do the job.
4. Absolutely not for one hand use. Have to shuffle to reach all parts of screen. One-hand mode is there.
5. YouTube videos can’t be full screened by pinching to fit the 18:9 aspect ratio. Fixed by enabling full screen mode for Google play services.
6. Charging time is around 3 hours from 10% to 100%.
7. Antutu – 75971 & Geekbench – single core: 908 and multi core: 3410.
8. Screen is awesome. One of the best screens in this price. Warm colours. Saturation is great. Vibrant screen. 18:9 aspect ratio. Overall the best display in this price.( compare to moto g5s plus).
9. Front camera is a pretty good 8mp shooter, portrait mode on front cam also works really good.
10. Specs: Processor : Hisilicon Kirin 659, ARM Cortex A-53, 64-Bit Chip, 8 cores(4 cores @2.3Ghz & 4 cores @1.7Ghz)

18. Speaker is normal, no bass, becomes tinny at higher volumes.
19. Hdr is great on back camera but not very good output in auto mode.
20. Camera app : hell lot of features and modes. Pro mode for both photo and video.
21. 120fps slow at 480p. not usable.
22. Very slippery phone.
23. Skinned phones are great for beginners as you get all the apps you need preinstalled, no need to download anything.
24. Call reception and call quality via the earpiece is very good, clear voices on both sides. Even on Jio VoLTE.
25. Output from the headphone jack is okay.
26. Physical notification light which is negligible.
27. App twins for running different instances of the same app.
28. Applock for added security.

32. Home screen doesn’t come with an app drawer by default. Can be activated in the settings.

35. Very lightweight at 165gms
36. Corning gorilla glass ( unspecified)
37. 2mp depth sensor on the back doesn’t make any sense as all the background blur is done via software.
38. Front camera does a better job at portrait shots than the back.
39. Hdr mode in camera works great. Vibrant colours and zooming in doesn’t scare you.
40. Camera app is packed with features like pro mode for both photo and video.
41. Filters to use directly from the camera app.
42. A light painting option, wonder how that works.
43. There’s also slow motion video at 120fps with 480p res.
44. Timelapse mode. Etc.
45. There’s a bokeh mode, wide aperture mode, a live photo mode also.
46. You get beauty effect for all these.

My personal opinion after using this phone for 5 days..

1. CAMERA
Back camera hardware is very good, struggles a bit in the low light but can be compared to some of the mid rangers of Samsung and LG phones. Very satisfied with normal mode on daylight shots but colour reproduction is little inaccurate. Looks over exposed. Bokeh effect and wide aperture mode is totally useless and needs serious software improvement. (3.9/5)

Front camera is again very good in normal lighting conditions only problem is over exposure. If you use in day lighting condition it looks more brighter but more(more than it should be) darker in low light. Bokeh effect and portrait mode are very inaccurate. Bokeh effect cannot properly separate the edges of face and body from the background. Also while video calling in low light looks darker than it should be. Again it needs serious attention to the camera software.. (3.8/5)

2. LOOK AND FEEL
Feels really premium on hand. Well built, perfect size, blue colour looks unique. Only thing I don't like in a smartphone is both volume and power button on the right side but the good thing for me in this phone is volume buttons are on the upper side which doesn't mess up with my fingers. (5/5)

3. DISPLAY
Displays is outstanding Crystal clear and butter smooth should have been little brighter to view under the sun (4.9/5) otherwise there is no better display in terms of quality for the price.

4. UI AND PERFORMANCE
UI is very simple and easy. Lots of customization. Absolutely lag free (with such an amazing display as if I am touching the objects with my fingers) performance. (5/5)

5. NETWORK AND CALL
Network connectivity and call quality is really really superb. Found even little better than other devices like those of Samsung and LG but way way better than Xiaomi, Coolpad and Honor 6x (5/5)

6. WiFi and GPS
WiFi coverage is really good also comes with WiFi bride is really handy. GPS is quick and accurate even inside the room. (4.9/5)

6. Fingerprint sensors is very responsive and 100% accurate. (5/5)

7. BATTERY
Battery is okay. Easily lasts a day with moderate use(Calling, WhatsApp, Internet surfing) (4.7/5)

8. HEATING
There is NO heating issues at all (at least in the winter season where the atmospheric temperature is on the lower side). But it gets warm when we use camera continuously for 5-10 minutes(which occurs in all smartphones literally). (4.9/5)

9. STORAGE AND MEMORY
Storage is a concern for this phone being a hybrid type memory card slot. The situation becomes even worse when the system occupies 9 GB of space out of 32 GB. There is only 19 GB (Normally 2 - 4 GB less than others) is available for the user. But I don't strore lots of music or videos so its fine for me. Talking about 4 GB ram, I always get 2.1 to 2.4 GB of free memory despite I have installed 20 heavy apps. (4.7/5)

10. BLOATWARE
Yes, bloatwares are there but the good news is that they can be removed from the phone.

I haven't tested the gaming performance yet.

Overall I am really satisfied with the device for the price paid and knowing its pros and cons and being an occasional camera user for photography. Its a good VFM smartphone.

If the seller is reading my review, please fix the camera software and performance to make it a really champion smartphone.

honor 7x in detail review after using it for 1 month

Reviewed in India on May 8, 2018

Verified Purchase

Hi all,

This is my genuine review after using 7x for 1 month.
why i gone for 7x rather than other phones in the market ?

I will let you know the reason behind this. Earlier i used to have oneplus one running with lineage os , For some reason it became weird and it is not switching on , after some analysis i found that it was issue with battery. As i used it for nearly 4 years i thought why not switch to a new one rather than replacing battery

I initially set up a budget of 20k and i started looking around , and i found some good devices below the price range of 15k. But few of them need to be purchased through flash sales which i hate the concept . Then i figured 7x

i researched about kirin 659 and found some amazing truth which no one might believe. But when i compared to snapdragon 801 which is my oneplus one processor it gave me amazing figures

1. cpu clock speed - kirin 659- 8x2.1 ghz vs 4x2.26 ghz
2. LTE - Kirin 659- inbuilt and integrated in chip vs NO LTE
3. GPU clock speed - kirinn 659 -650 MHZ vs 578 mhz
4. 64 bit process- Kirin 659 - supports 64 bit processing vs won't support 64 bit
5. AES - kirin 659 - Do have AES encryption and decrytion vs no AES
6. Pixel rate - kirin 659 5.2 G/ pixels vs 3.6 G/ pixels

Boy - o - Boy , trust me the battery optimization is done so well that i never saw a phone seeing facebook and messenger stopped in the background. On every device these two run in the background and you can't stop them. i am really frustrtaed with that concept and 7x win my heart by shutting them down in the background . It might won't matter at all for you but i love it . Infact i am getting a SOT of 7 hours which is amazing

I love the display , infact sometimes i will open my phone to look on to my gorgeous display.

you might be thinking why i had provided 4 out of 5 stars , i ripped off 1 star due to 7x don't have inbuilt audio drivers which several people will think can be enhanced using a software but it's a hardware thing . A software enhancement been provided but that doesn't match my opo. Don't get me wrong audio input's through earphones are good. Mid's and lows are good ,Bass is also there but i can't get that extra punch of bass , but i get used to this and i am ok with this concedering my budget

So on summing up i upgraded to a new processor which is fast , which is future proof(18:9 qhd display and LTE support) for less than 13k which in difference come down to 10 k cheaper than my old phone which is almost 4 years ago

Thank you all
