Honor Play 7X review: A flagship phone worth 1,000 yuan with full screen performance

  Honor Play 7X was just released on the afternoon of October 11. It is Honor's first full-screen mobile phone. The price of a thousand-yuan phone has also attracted a lot of attention.

In recent years, as competition in the mobile phone industry has become increasingly fierce, product homogeneity has become increasingly serious. Mobile phone engineers have racked their brains to develop a mobile phone that can bring an impact to the mobile phone market. In 2017, a number of manufacturers made a big fuss about full-screen mobile phones, while Honor, which has always seemed unknown, suddenly launched its first full-screen mobile phone - Honor Play 7X. As for the experience of this mobile phone, let us take you to experience it.

The Honor Play 7X adopts an integrated body design, with nano-injection molding technology and 2.5D glass on the front. The overall body can be described as round. It feels comfortable to hold, and the weight of 165g does not make people feel heavy. The editor has no problem operating it with one hand.

Next, let’s talk about the most important part of this phone - the screen. What kind of full-screen display can a thousand-yuan phone bring to consumers?

Honor Play 7X has a 5.93-inch FHD+ screen with a display ratio of 18:9 and a screen-to-body ratio of 83%. From the product picture, we can see that Honor Play 7X adopts its usual design without Home button, leaving only the Honor logo, which gives people a good visual effect.

We used Honor Play 7X to run "Honor of Kings". It is not difficult to find that the 18:9 screen ratio can indeed allow players to see more of the map. When using it to play "Honor of Kings", you may not have to be afraid of A Ke suddenly appearing and killing you.

When taking photos, you can also adjust the photo size ratio to 18:9 in the camera settings. I believe that with this ratio, you can take photos that look like a blockbuster.

Honor Play 7X has two 16-megapixel + 2-megapixel high-definition cameras, which record the image information and depth of field information respectively, and can take clear photos with up to 16 megapixels. With the professional portrait photography mode, you can enjoy the extraordinary effects of SLR blockbusters on your mobile phone.

At the same time, the Honor Play 7X is also equipped with an 8-megapixel front camera, which supports the beauty camera, and can create exclusive beauty effects according to different genders and skin types. The Honor Play 7X also adds a gesture selfie function. Just make a "exclusive gesture" to the camera to trigger the photo countdown, which can make selfies more interesting.

Honor Play 7X has three versions: 32GB/64GB/128GB, and supports 256GB memory expansion, which can hold more than 1,000 episodes of popular TV series. In addition, Honor Play 7X is also equipped with a 3340mAh battery, with Kirin 659 chip TSMC 16nm process, and has software and hardware power saving optimization, so the battery life is very good.

Honor Play 7X has anti-counterfeit base station technology based on communication baseband processor at chip level, which can cut off the fraud information that may be brought by fake base stations from the source. In terms of sports data, Honor Play 7X has a built-in i5 coprocessor, which can calculate the actual sports data with low power consumption, and can synchronize data with WeChat Sports to support step counting when the screen is off. Carry your phone with you to record your exercise anytime and anywhere.

When you get a new mobile phone, the most troublesome thing is to transfer the information of the old phone to the new one. Honor Play 7X has a built-in "Phone Clone" function, through which you can transfer the contacts, photos, music, videos, applications, etc. of the old phone to the newly purchased Honor Play 7X.

In short, Honor Play 7X has excellent performance in all aspects, and the affordable price starting from 1,299 yuan adds a lot of points to Honor Play 7X. As Honor's first full-screen mobile phone, Honor Play 7X has basically no shortcomings. If you want to experience a full-screen mobile phone, but think other brands are too expensive, Honor Play 7X will be a good choice.
