What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

Mobile Choice | Sunetra Chakravarti

We loved the Honor 6 Plus but it did have some drawbacks, the size was a bit too big, the body was all plastic and it ran an older version of Android. With the Honor 7, you can see why there were 9 million pre-orders in China. This is a star phone, one that doesn't have starry airs about it. Whatever way you look at it, we love it!

IT PRO | Alan Lu

There are a few flaws and niggles with the Honor 7, most notably with its irritating Android skin, but even this can't dampen our enthusiasm for what is a remarkably good value Android phone. We'd normally expect to pay at least twice as much for a smartphone with similar features and responsiveness making the Honor 7 a real bargain.

AndroidPit | Shu On Kwok

With a spectacularly low price, this phone delivers in all the key areas: looks, camera, battery and performance.

"Value for money" is a phrase that is sometimes overused, but here it really does apply.

Ubergizmo | Hubert Nguyen

The Huawei Honor 7 is a well-built, all-metal phone. It seems to have been specifically targeted at users that mostly use productivity and social apps, with an emphasis on photo-sharing, especially selfies. The camera has a "very good" performance, but can't quite reach the "excellent" level of high-end phones that cost twice its price (which seems more than fair).

The Telegraph | Sophie Curtis

The new Honor 7 smartphone, from Chinese tech company Huawei, shows that high-end specs don't have to cost the earth.

NotebookCheck | Andreas Kilian

The Honor 7 is a very convenient all-rounder with many advantages. Besides the extremely high-contrast display, which also scores with a decent luminance and wide viewing angles, the review unit is very well equipped: Thanks to 64 GB of internal storage, fingerprint reader, dual-SIM feature and AC Wi-Fi, it clearly beats the review version of the company sibling Huawei P8.

MobileTechTalk | Craig Bradshaw

The Honor 7 is a very interesting device. Performance wise it has the power to deal with all but the toughest scenarios. It has a camera that is speedy and capable of some quality photos, and with its battery life you'll be able to enjoy the device for longer than some of its competitors.

Android Authority | Krystal Lora

The Huawei Honor 7 is another solid offering that gets a lot right with its beautiful display, impressive battery life, a fantastic fingerprint scanner, good camera, and useful additions like the swipe gestures and the SmartKey button.

The Mobile Indian | Anil Satapathy

The Honor 7 ticks most of the boxes in the specification sheet. The chinks I could see in its armour is its average 16 GB internal storage while its competitors offer more and in spite of having provision for a dual sim, the device supports only one SIM.

Register Hardware | Andrew Orlowski

With a strong battery, solid construction and its clever sensor swipes – giving a big boost to bog-standard Android's usability – the Honor 7 casts a long shadow in this price range.

The Gadget Show

The Honor 7 is a solid handset with a useful fingerprint scanner, and it gives you plenty of bang for your buck - and it feels a whole lot more premium that it actually is.

We highly recommend this phone for anyone with a budget of up to Rs. 25,000. Huawei has used its Honor range to successfully market quality products at competitive prices for a while now

SlashGear | JC Torres

The build quality of the smartphone is definitely something you'd expect from a top tier device and shatters any preconceived notion about Chinese-made smartphones. Although they could have thrown in a fast charger in the package, the 3,100 mAh battery isn't half bad and is one of the biggest in the market.

Digital Versus | Romain Thuret

The Honor 7 has everything you need in a great mid-range smartphone, and it is, and it comes close to giving a huge kick up the backside to the high-end. With optical stabilization on the camera and better battery life, most of the manufacturers in the top-of-the-range would be worried.

V3 | James Archer

The Honor 7 delivers plenty of power and features at a temptingly low price, making it a wise choice for firms and individuals on a budget. Just be warned that the Huawei-designed Emotion UI meddles with stock Android a few ways too many.

The Guardian | Samuel Gibbs

Overall, the Honor 7 is good value from a more mainstream Chinese smartphone brand, that you actually buy from a store, but may not be enough to justify spending more than a solid budget offering.

What Mobile | Manny Phem

For anybody who wants a mid-range smartphone, the Honor 7 is a solid choice and more readily available than the comparative OnePlus 2.

Recombu | Chris Barraclough

The Honor 7 packs the kind of specs you'd expect to stay competitive, along with some solid features like a fingerprint scanner.That hardware is solid and refreshingly attractive, but the software side often lets it down, with Emotion UI proving rather sketchy in areas despite throwing in lots of handy features too.

Alphr | Jonathan Bray

The inclusion of a fingerprint reader, 20-megapixel camera and an infrared transmitter for this sort of cash is unheard of. It has a higher resolution screen than competitors... Honor could be onto a real winner here.

Trusted Reviews | Alastair Stevenson

The Honor 7 is a well-built smartphone that offers great value for money. However, its heavy Android skin and lower than average battery life diminish its overall appeal.

The Inquirer | James Archer

A quality, affordable Huawei handset with a meddlesome Android skin.... The sturdy design and lengthy battery life make it a great everyday smartphone, and it achieves a level of performance we'd expect to see on far more expensive devices.

Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow

The Honor 7 has all the makings of a great mid-range smartphone, but concerns over its build quality, its frustrating version of Android and terrible battery life means it can't help but fall short of its goals.

The Huawei Honor 7 is a decent, if unglamorous, mid-range smartphone that comes with some nice features and an excellent camera.

phoneArena | Nick T.

the honor 7 has an attractive price given the hardware specs and feature set you get in exchange, but as a whole, the phone is far from perfect. What's really hard to ignore, however, is the fact that the software on the honor 7 needs a lot of polishing. Sure, it works, but at this point in time, a phone of this rank should deliver a much smoother user experience.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
