Honor X7b

The Honor X7b is a mid-range smartphone that boasts a long-lasting battery, large display, and powerful performance. However, its value proposition depends on individual priorities. In terms of design and display, the phone has a 6.8-inch TFD LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, which provides a bright and sharp visual experience. The plastic back and frame make it feel somewhat cheap and prone to scratches. The phone weighs 199g and measures 8.2mm thick, with IP rating of zero. The Honor X7b is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680A 6nm chipset, which handles most tasks and games smoothly. It comes with 8GB of RAM, expandable up to 16GB, and 256GB of internal storage. The phone runs on MagicOS 7.2, a custom skin that adds features but also some bloatware and ads. The camera department is decent, featuring a triple-camera setup with a 108MP main sensor, 5MP ultra-wide lens, and 2MP depth sensor. However, it struggles in low-light conditions and has issues with dynamic range. One of the phone's main selling points is its massive 6,000mAh battery, which provides more than a day of heavy use and supports fast charging with a 35W charger. The Honor X7b is priced at around $1,100 or PHP 9,000 in the Philippines, making it competitive but not necessarily a bargain. Overall, the phone offers good value for those prioritizing battery life and display size over premium build quality and camera capabilities. However, buyers seeking a more versatile device may want to look elsewhere.
