HONOR has unveiled one of its cheapest phones today, the HONOR X7b. The company makes up for the humble internals by including a large display and a sharp main camera.
The HONOR X7b is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 octa-core processor, with an option between 6GB and 8GB of RAM and 128GB and 256GB of expandable storage.
We then have the said large display, which is a 6.8-inch IPS panel with an FHD+ pixel resolution, a high 90Hz refresh rate, and TUV Rheinland certification for its low blue light emission.
On top is a decent 8-megapixel selfie camera inside a punch-hole cutout. On the back, we have an ultra-sharp 108-megapixel main camera. What’s interesting is, it managed to have a usable 5-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 2-megapixel macro shooter.
Like its cousins, the X7b boasts a large 6,000mAh battery, which the company claims can last for an entire 24 hours of web browsing. HONOR also threw in a pretty capable 35W fast charging.
Finally, it ships with Android 13-based MagicOS 7.2 user interface.
The HONOR X7b has a starting price of USD249 (around Php13,800) with release details in markets like the Philippines yet to be known.
