Huawei Honor 7X

All-screen design for a low price ; Fine 6-inch 18:9 screen ; Camera reasonably capable

Second camera features somewhat gimmicky ; So-so battery life ; EMUI still heavy-handed

Amazing price ; Beautiful style ; Comfortable to hold ; Good camera ; Big, 18:9 aspect ratio screen

No NFC for Android Pay ; MicroUSB feels a little 2016 ; No Android 8.0 at launch

Taken only at face value, the good-looking Honor 7X doesn’t appear to be a $200 smartphone. Add in a decent, fun-feature packed camera, solid performance, and a great screen, and you’ll question the price even more. Yet it does only cost a bargain $200.

Vibrant 18:9 display ; Handy design ; Value for money

Dated Android version ; 720p display resolution

The Redmi 5 is undoubtedly a complete smartphone and has all the necessary inclusions like a bigger display and the latest chipset. But, it isn't as striking or as fresh as the Honor 9 Lite that comes for Rs 10,999.

Brilliant 18:9 display rivals phones priced four times as much. ; Camera app is packed with features and options. ; Kirin processor keeps apps and games humming.

At $200, the Honor 7X is priced similarly to the Moto G5 Plus. It has a sleek build that incorporates a tall, 18:9 aspect ratio to maximize screen real estate, along with solid overall performance, and decent camera capabilities. The G5 Plus,...

$200 price tag is surprisingly low ; Industrial design is on-point (and pretty familiar) ; Camera is pretty good in decent lighting ; Battery lasts well beyond a full day

Software is swift, but needs some customization ; No USB-C (still on micro-USB) ; One year later, STILL no NFC

relatively accurate colors and high contrast ; thin design, high screen-to-body ratio ; fast fingerprint reader ; dual-SIM w/ MicroSD ; very inexpensive ; 18:9 FHD display

CPU and GPU performance benefits are minimal over the Honor 6X ; apparent brightness drops if not facing directly at the screen ; slow display response times; more ghosting ; no CDMA version for Sprint or Verizon ; no NFC, IR, 802.11ac, or Wi-Fi...

Android smartphones in the $200 to $250 USD range are quite common from Chinese manufacturers like Leagoo, Xiaomi, Bluboo, Oppo, and Vivo. What makes the Honor 7X so special compared to the deluge of other cheap alternatives is the harder worldwide...

At Rs 13,999 Xiaomi gets you the same build quality, with more bezels, a similar display (although not as tall) and better battery life thanks to its compact package.

Good build quality ; Large display ; Functional bokeh camera ; Aggressively priced

No luxurious glass texture
