Huawei Honor 7

Huawei has always had a reputation of getting it bang on when it comes to price performance ratio. With thier subsidiary brand honor they have set the bar even higher.

Following are the pros and cons based solely on my observation and in comparison to my ealier phones notes and lg g2.

PROS:

1. Build quality: Unimetal superb build with plastic only at top and bottom of the back panel to improve antenne reception. Doesn’t get better then this.

   
   




2. Battery: Has been good for the most part. With moderdate to heavy usage easily lasts a day. Great optimization by Huawei here. Even though the battery deal. This being my primery requierment, i’ve been really imperssed.

   
   

3.Camera: 20 mp camera dosen’t disapponit. Clear sharp images under good light condition. Font 8mp camera with a light assiat hits the sweep spot as well. Tons condition clicks underperform though.

1. Fingerprint sensor: The sensor is blasingly fast to response and the placement is perfect for the index finger. Beside unlocking it provides customisable functions like swipe down opens up notification panel etc. This sensor is supposedly thr fastest in the smartphone market right now.

   
   




2. Sound quality: Sound from the speaker is pretty loud. Even tge sound quality from thr headphone has been amazing so far. Lack of an equaliser option does hurt bue isnt a deal breaker as the DTS option makes for the miat part of it.

   
   




3. Performance: Performance is fluid and RAM opimization is superb as well stutters rarely thanks to the’ not so optimized EMUI’

   
   

CONS:

1. The biggest tun off has been the UI which Huawei call EMUI. Even though it provides tons customization options, lack of an app drawer does keep me wanting for more.

   
   




2. When it comes to updates, Huawei hasnt been the best brands. Marshmellw update has been promised in 2016 first quarter. Lets see how that rolls.

   
   




3. Placement of the haedphone jack at the top is not to my personal preference.

   
   




4. Phone does tend to get warm when using power intensive application.
