Honor 7 deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

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! Read full review
100	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. Read full review
90	AndroidPit | Shu On Kwok With a spectacularly low price, this phone delivers in all the key areas: looks, camera, battery and performance. Read full review
90	Coolsmartphone | Leigh Geary "Value for money" is a phrase that is sometimes overused, but here it really does apply. Read full review
90	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). Read full review
90	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. Read full review
86	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. Read full review
85	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. Read full review
81	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	Stuff | Andrew Williams 5-star value only knocked down a spot by its quirky nature. Read full review
80	PC Advisor | Chris Martin Honor has once again impressed us with a flagship smartphone at an outrageous price. Read full review
80	NDTV Gadgets | Ali Pardiwala 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 Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
80	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. Read full review
72	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. Read full review
70	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. Read full review
70	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. Read full review
70	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. Read full review
70	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. Read full review
60	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. Read full review
60	Digital Trends | Andy Boxall The Honor 7 is affordable, but too weak to play many mobile games. Read full review
60	TechRadar | Matt Hanson The Huawei Honor 7 is a decent, if unglamorous, mid-range smartphone that comes with some nice features and an excellent camera. Read full review
58	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. Read full review
