Huawei Honor 7: owner reviews, description, specifications and review

Honor 7, which will be reviewed in the article, was presented this summer. In general, the Chinese company Huawei is the largest player among similar manufacturers. The presentation in the Russian Federation was scheduled shortly after the first announcement abroad. To do this, in Moscow (and to be more precise, in "Afimall City"), a really grandiose show was held. And the official Russian face of the brand, who introduced Honor 7, which the reader can find at the end of the review, was the singer Natalia Ionova. Everyone knows her as Glucose.

Interestingly, in China itself, Huawei Honor 7, reviews about which have already been written by the owners of the phone, do not perceive as the creation of the company itself. For the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire Honor is generally a subbrand. However, our citizens do not want to plant on different sides of the barricades of Huawei and Honor. Yes, and we in this review will adhere to this point of view, because in itself Honor hardly anyone will notice or take seriously.

Huawei Honor, reviews about which are rapidly spreading on the Internet, can be purchased, for example, in the online store of M.Video. The price of the device is currently about 23 thousand rubles. However, the circulation of a smartphone in our country is limited, and if you want to buy it, do not delay the purchase for tomorrow. Otherwise, it may happen that waiting for the arrival of the goods will have a long and painful, as they say.

Internal competition Honor 7 (gray graphite), reviews about which give the device an evaluation of 4 points, is the device under the name P8. It has less productive hardware stuffing, but for some reason the Chinese manufacturer positions the device exactly as a premium one. So, this smartphone is cheaper by 7 thousand rubles.

Brief specifications

What can please the potential buyers of mobile phone Huawei Honor 7 (16GB), reviews of which give the device as a whole a positive assessment? In general, he can do this for many reasons. The device is equipped with a strong hardware stuffing, about which we now talk in more detail. So, what do we have today as part of a smartphone?

Execution

As a material for the manufacture of the case, metal was used, as well as special plastic. The screen is covered with a protective glass under the name Corning Gorilla Glass 3. On board the device is installed the operating system "Android" version 5.0. From the communication interfaces, we can access the GSM family, EDGE. There is support for networks of the fourth generation, that is, the LTE function works. Sim cards for the work must be processed according to the standard NANO-SIM.

Hardware filling

Not far worse performance provides a processor, which consists of 8 cores. This is a 64-bit device. The amount of internal memory is 3 gigabytes. 16 GB is available for storing user data. In addition, the owner of the phone can always purchase a microSD memory card for a fee and install it in his device.

Connectivity

There are wireless communication modules. This, of course, Wi-Fi (works in the bands b, g, n, ac) and Bluetooth version 4.1. To synchronize with a personal computer there is a port of the standard MicroUSB. The connection occurs with the USB 2.0 socket. Also this port is used to charge the smartphone. A 3.5-millimeter wired stereo headset is connected to the device.

Display

The image is displayed on a capacitive touchscreen, whose resolution is 1080 by 1920 pixels. This is the so-called Full HD quality. The diagonal of the display is 5.2 inches. The matrix is made using IPS technology, which reduces the load on the eyes with a long reading from the screen.

One of the advantages can be called a powerful camera smartphone. The resolution of only the front camera is as much as 8 megapixels. And the main - and in general all 20! A single flash is provided for the front camera, and a dual flash for the main camera.

Spatial orientation

Navigation in space is carried out through GPS and GLONASS modules.

Autonomous work

The battery belongs to non-removable type. This is a lithium-ion battery, which is designed for a capacity of 3100 mAh.

The dimensions of the device are impressive. With a height of 143.2 and a width of 71.9, the thickness of the smartphone is only 8.5 millimeters. In this case, the mass of the device is 157 grams.

Equipment

What is included with the phone? Opening the package, for this cost, we find there only the device itself, the network adapter for recharging, as well as the wire for synchronization with a personal computer. Not very impressive. Well, of course, there will be a short user guide, which has long been read by no one, and also a warranty card.

Design

Reviews about the smartphone Huawei Honor 7 you have yet to learn, and we meanwhile go on to look at the appearance of the device. It should be noted that the design of the model can be said to be classic. Almost all modern smartphones have a similar appearance. What is meant by a classical view?

Probably, first of all it is a rectangular shape. The corners of the device are well smoothed. Mostly on the front side, of course, a fairly large screen. It occupies three quarters of the entire frontal surface. But with all this the subject of our today's review looks presentable, which can not be said. There is such a sense of completeness of design. The thing is that there are no decorative insets or inscriptions on the front part. What, by the way, only will please owners of the device.

Interestingly, even the front camera and the flash were placed at the same distances from the voice speaker.

Dimensions

The dimensions of the device were chosen very, very successfully. With a thickness of 8.5 mm, the height of the device is only 143, and the width is 71 mm. Thus, as a result, we get a very compact smartphone, which looks quite innocuous against the background of monsters equipped with a diagonal screen of 5.5 inches. It turns out that the device we have and not very "thin", but does not remind at the same time garden shovel. The mass is only 157 grams, which falls in the ideal interval.

Reliability

In the hand, the device is comfortable and reliable, it does not intend to slip. The only problem is the situation with wet hands. Materials of manufacture did not protect the device from slipping in this case. In general, in similar situations, the risk multiply increases. But let's hope that this does not happen. Reviews of Huawei Honor 7 (16GB) in terms of reliability once again prove that the materials need to be selected carefully, and we will proceed to a more detailed study of the front surface of the device.

Front side

It protects Corning Gorilla Glass 3 from physical damage. For sure, many of the readers are familiar with this element, so we will not go into details here. In general, tests showed that for a period of up to a couple of weeks, large scratches do not appear even with loose contact with sharp objects. However, let's not forget that small scratches can not be avoided, and in the process of exploitation they will certainly let know about themselves.

There is an oleophobic coating. Fingerprints on the screen still remain, but thanks to it they are erased quite easily and quickly. On the surface of the front side the finger slides confidently and simply. Thus, all of the above, we can automatically write down the advantages of a smartphone.

Owner feedback

Well, it's time to take stock and talk about what people think who bought this mobile phone model. Repeatedly they noted that there are no complaints about the quality of communication. First, the interlocutor is heard clearly enough and loudly. Secondly, Wi-Fi is not lost. Thirdly, navigation works in space. There was no breakdown in the operation of GPS technology, the device always output to where it was needed.

The price of Huawei Honor 7, about which we are now analyzing, is 23 thousand rubles. You can buy a smartphone in the online store. In general, the device, of course, at the height of such money. Among the other advantages noted in the reviews is a high-quality and powerful main camera (and a front camera too), strong hardware stuffing (and we are talking about a processor, graphics accelerator and RAM). You can not ignore the well-made body.

According to reviews at the color level of the screen. In sunlight, the picture does not burn out. In the headphones, music sounds quite decent, you can note the high quality of recording through the recorder. Supports the function of two SIM cards. Pleased users of the autonomous operation of the device. The shell and the software work smoothly, without failures. There is an indicator of missing events. The device can be awakened by a double tap. The sensor works through gloves.

Of the shortcomings, the reviews note a weak flashlight, which plays the role of flash for the front camera, as well as a slightly braking sensor designed to compare fingerprints.
