HONOR Philippines is still not done with releasing a new smartphone this first quarter of the year because they just launched the new HONOR X7b which highlights 3-day battery life, a 108MP camera, a nice display, and many more.
Good thing HONOR sent us because I really want to try it too. In this article, we will unbox this phone and I will be sharing my first impressions.
Unboxing and Accessories
The HONOR X7b also comes with a white box with product branding at the front and sides like other phones in the X series.
When you open the box, you will immediately see the HONOR X7b, and underneath is the carton that contains the SIM ejector tool, quick start guide, and jelly case. The next thing you will see is the USB-C cable and the 35W HONOR SuperCharge charging adapter.
Design and Build Quality
As you can see, it looks a bit like the HONOR 90 because of its design layout, especially the camera island. The HONOR X7b is available in three captivating colorways: Flowing Silver, Cyan Lake, and Midnight Black.
Ours is a Flowing Silver colorway and it looks very stylish. By the way, this colorway has an even glossy finish on the back, so fingerprints and smudges are not obvious.
For the camera, it also has a 108MP main camera with a 5MP wide-angle lens and a 2MP macro lens. It also has an 8MP selfie camera.
This HONOR X7b has only a plastic back and sides, but it looks and feels very durable. Its dimension is only 166.7mm (H) × 76.5mm (W) x 8.24mm (D) and its weight is 199g. Plus, it has a 63-degree quad-curved fitting that’s why it is very comfortable to grip.
Although I’m a little used to the thinness of its bigger brother which is the HONOR X8b, for a phone below PHP 10K, its thickness is decent given that it also has a large 6,000mAh battery capacity and audio jack.
We can see the Hybrid SIM tray on his left side, while the volume rocker and power button/fingerprint scanner are on the right. The 3.5mm headphone jack, microphone, USB-C port, and stereo speaker are located at the bottom, then we can see the IR blaster and secondary microphone at the top.
Moreover, it also has a large 6.80-inch HONOR FullView LCD with FHD+ resolution. Its display supports a 90Hz refresh rate, 16.7 million colors, and has TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light Certification.
What’s inside the HONOR X7b?
Like its bigger brother, this HONOR X7b also features the 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 octa-core chipset with Adreno 610 GPU. Out of the box, the HONOR X7b runs the latest MagicOS 7.2 operating system based on Android 13.
Its chipset is also paired with up to 8GB RAM with 8GB HONOR RAM Turbo and up to 256GB internal storage. You can also expand its storage via a microSD card slot that supports up to 1TB.
The device also boasts a large 6,000mAh battery capacity as I mentioned above. It also supports 35W HONOR SuperCharge and we will test it if how long it can be fully charged. HONOR claimed it can provide up to 3 days of battery life which is good news for many users.
So far, this HONOR X7b looks just as good as the HONOR X8b that we just reviewed a while ago. But of course, we will do some testing and benchmarks so we can know if this phone is worth buying so stay tuned for our full review!
