Huawei’s Honor to double profit with strong India focus

0 among others. The smartphone runs Android 5.0 Lollipop with the company’s custom Emotion UI 3.1 on top.

When it comes to specs, the device is nothing to be impressed of, which is why we expect it to be priced very low, possibly no more than $160.

“As a global pioneer, Honor travels wide and this is now demonstrated by its efforts in key markets such as India, Russia, Germany, France and the United Kingdom”.

The Huawei Honor 7 will be available in two colours – Mystery Grey and Fantasy Silver.

The first thing you notice the moment you take this phone into your hands is that the Honor 7 has a solid build quality.

Powered by HiSilicon octa-core Kirin 935 processor with 3GB RAM and 16GB storage (expandable up to 128GB), the Honor 7 has the muscle to offer consistently smooth performance.

Huawei Honor 7 comes with a fully metallic body and includes a host of functions. Huawei has actually announced a couple of days ago that the Honor 7 will land in India on October 7th, and that’s exactly what happened today. It measures 8.5mm in thickness and weighs in at 157 grams.

The Honor 7 also incorporates a fingerprint sensor which is placed below the rear camera that not ony enables users to unlock the smartphone with a single tap but you can also use it as a button to start various tasks including for taking selfies.

The Huawei Honor Play 5X is a variant of the Honor 5X, which features a bigger and better resolution display, higher RAM and more on-board storage. The Honor 7 is equipped with 20-megapixel autofocus rear camera( Sony IMX230 sensor), with Dual LED flash and various useful modes such as phase detection, super night mode, panorama, slow motion and Good Food. It also has support for Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G LTE and other standard connectivity options. Reverse charging means you can use the phone as a power bank to charge other phones.

The company has added a knuckle tap feature which lets you just knock the screen twice with a knuckle to capture a screenshot.

When asked about strategy to mitigate impact of Honor 7 on Honor 6 plus, Sanjeev said “Both the phones have different features”.

If a recently posted launch teaser from the company’s official Weibo account is to be believed, the China-based mobile manufacturer will introduce the highly speculated Honor Play 5X smartphone during the said showcase.
