Overview

The Honor 7 features a full-metal body, 5.2 inch touchscreen, a 20 MP rear camera (Sony IMX230) and an 8 MP front camera.[1] It is available three colors- gold, grey and silver; gold was originally exclusive to Chinese market. The gold version features a dual-sim capability, NFC and 64 GB of internal storage. The international version was available in grey and silver only, with 16 GB internal storage capacity. It also features a dual-sim functionality, but, like the gold version, only one SIM can be used if used in conjunction with a micro-SD to expand the storage capability.. This version also lacks the NFC feature and the Indian version[2] is the single-sim variant of the international version. The phone comes with a fingerprint sensor claimed to be intelligent and highly responsive. Another notable feature of the phone is the 'Smart' button, an additional hardware button that can be assigned to specific tasks making the device easier to use.

Software

The Honor 7 ships with Android Lollipop with Huawei's Emotion UI (EMUI) 3.0. The camera interface has a few new features including the 'Good Food' mode that adds detail and crisps the images of food items. Many convenient tweaks have been made for single-handed use. The fingerprint reader is claimed to unlock the phone at 0.5 seconds and also includes additional software features that enable easier use of the device.

Release

The phone was announced in China in July 2015. It was introduced in the United Kingdom in August 2015 and was announced in India in October 2015. Huawei has tied up with Flipkart for the release of the device and it is announced as a 'Flipkart Exclusive' product.

Versions

Huawei has unveiled a new edition of its acclaimed handset Honor 7. The new version has been named Honor 7 Enhanced and it comes with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The difference with regard to the previous edition is not only the updated operating system but also the introduction of the 32 GB internal storage.[3] The Honor 7 had 16 and 64 GB options and an Android 5.0 Lollipop as OS. The other specifications have still been kept the same.
