<p style="text-align: justify;">Huawei introduced its ‘Honor’ smartphone brand in India exactly one year ago and today the company launched its second flagship smartphone for the country, the Honor 7. An update to the Honor 6, the new smartphone comes with a new sleek design incorporating a light aluminum alloy finish and a fingerprint scanner that does a lot more than just unlocking the smartphone.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The handset feels very light, even with the full metal back,and the overall finish is exquisite. The smartphone features a pleasant looking 5.2-inch full-HD (1920x1080) display and the company has yet again gone for their home brewed Kirin 935 64-bit octa-core processor instead of relying on a third party manufacturer. The processor is paired with 3GB of RAM which certainly helps in providing a smooth lag-free multitasking experience.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/honor7-3.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 498px;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Huawei has used a 20MP primary camera on the Honor 7 along with phase detection auto-focus technology which is said to offer focusing speeds of 0.1 seconds. To add some protection, a sapphire glass piece has been fitted over the camera lens. On the front there is an 8MP camera with a 26-mm wide angle lens for selfie lovers which is aided by a soft flash to light up your face. The camera will be offering modes like time-lapse, slow shutter and light painting, all of which are seen or are making their way onto most of the new-gen smartphones.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/honor7-4.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 464px;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Rest of the features include a microSD card slot, NFC, 4G LTE support, a 3,100mAh battery and quick charge support which helps in charging the battery from zero to 50 percent in just 30 minutes. The fingerprint scanner has been placed at the back, underneath the camera lens, and is probably the most productive fingerprint scanner on any smartphone today. It can not only unlock the smartphone, but can also be used to take pictures as well as scroll through your menus. Taking things further, Huawei has added an extra hardware key on the left edge which can be programmed to launch your most frequent apps when you single press, double press or long press this key.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/honor7-2.jpg" style="text-align: center; width: 800px; height: 495px;"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Honor 7 will run on Android Lollipop out of the box with Emotion UI 3.1 and is expected to get the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow update in the near future. The updated Emotion UI has been customised for the Indian market through a special R&D team in Bangalore and Huawei has also partnered with a number of apps and services which will be providing free gifts with the handset. The Honor 7 will comes in Mystery Gray and Fantasy Silver colour variants and has been priced at Rs. 22,990 for the 16GB variant. The higher 32GB and 64GB capacity models are not confirmed as of yet.</p>
