Huawei Honor 7S Design

Starting from its design, Huawei Honor 7S houses a Plastic back with a Metallic frame. The device lacks a fingerprint scanner which is a little disappointing to some extent. The phone has dual sleek antennas at the bottom and the top corners bring the beauty of the phone.

The rear camera is positioned horizontally with an LED flash at the top left corner. The foundation could accommodate even more than one camera, but the company went for just one. On the front side, there is a display with thick bezels surrounding it and the Honor logo at the bottom.

The phone measures 146.5 x 70.9 x 8.3 mm (5.77 x 2.79 x 0.33 in) and weighs only 142 grams (5.01 oz.).

Huawei Honor 7S Display

The Huawei Honor 7S comprises a 5.45-inches HD+ IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display which is pretty dazzling for a budget smartphone. The display is well-supported by 720 x 1440 pixels in resolution and 295 pixels per inch density for clear visuals. In addition to this, the display is crisp, vibrant and paired with exquisite viewing angles ensure a perfect visual experience you never have before.

Huawei Honor 7S Hardware and Software

Huawei Honor 7S Camera

On paper, Honor 7S boasts a 13MP rear sensor supported by an LED flash for capturing images even in dull conditions. The video calls and selfies are assisted by a 5MP front-facing camera. As you’d expect, captured images are dazzling and beautiful with a lot of details.

Huawei Honor 7S Battery

Inside Huawei Honor 7S, you will see a 3020mAh built-in battery with no fast charging technology. However, it lasts you all day long for a casual use but doesn’t deliver more than that with a heavy usage.

As Honor 7S lacks a fast charging feature, the battery takes almost 2.4 hours to get charged fully from 0% to 100%.
