Honor X7

The Honor X7 is a mid-range smartphone that arrived on the market in April 2022. Despite its relatively modest specs, including a 720p display and Android 11, I found it to be surprisingly good for everyday use. The phone's performance was more than sufficient for social media, camera usage, and light gaming. However, some areas of the device fell short, particularly the inconsistent focus on the main camera and lackluster selfie camera quality.

Huawei nova Y70

The Huawei Nova Y70 is an Android phone that's making waves in the mid-range market. Its impressive battery life can last longer than some flagship phones, making it a compelling option for those seeking a reliable device. The Nova Y70 also boasts a big display and premium design, making it stand out from its peers. With a good enough performance and okay camera, this phone nails the basics, making it an excellent entry-level choice. But does it go beyond just being a solid mid-range option?
