Honor 7X Vs Honor 6X

Honor the sub-brand of Huawei had a huge commercial success in these recent
years from its budget mid-range smartphones. The Honor 7X is such a mid-range smartphone that features latest Kirin processor with an upgraded camera and impressive design. On the other end, the Honor 6X is one of the best budget flagships in 2017 offering dual cameras, long battery life, and a sturdy metal build. Here is how we can compare both these mid-range handsets, so as to know which is the best device to pick up.

Design & Display

The Honor 7X in Dubai is taller at 5.93-inches than the Honor 6X which is of 5.5-inches. Both the devices have the same IPS LCD panel but the Honor 7X is brighter. The latest handset offers 2.5D glass front panel and bezels have slimmed down abruptly. For having crisp visuals, the screen resolution of the Honor 7X is increased to 2160 X 1080. While the Honor 6X features the resolution of 1920 X 1080 pixels.

The Honor’s new handset is wide and longer thus resulting in a comfortable 18:9 aspect ratio. Though Honor 6X is an attractive device, the edge-to-edge display and the bezel-less design of Honor 7X make it a stronger choice.

Processor & performance

Under the hood, the Honor latest handset relies on the Kirin 659 processor while the Honor 6X in UAE features the 2.1GHz Octa-core Kirin 655 processor. As for the memory, the Honor 7X is given 4GB of RAM and 32GB/64GB/128GB of onboard storage. The Honor 6X offers the choice between 3GB and 4GB of RAM with a 32GB/64GB of internal storage. Both the devices take advantage of the microSD slot that can extend the memory up to 256GB.

Both the Honor handsets run on Android Nougat with an EMUI 5.1 on the top of it. This interface changes the complete look and feel with its additional functionality. As for the software front, there is no difference in these handsets. However, if Honor 7X receives an Android 8.0 Oreo update then definitely we can judge between the two.

Camera

As for the camera technology, Honor is improvising a lot for every successive smartphone that it is launching. No doubt the Honor 6X in Dubai has a great dual sensor for the good price. But Honor 7X also features an excellent camera with its 16MP and 2MP dual camera sensor. The handset underwent a lot of software enhancement that boosts the camera performance, especially under low-light conditions.

On the front end, both the devices are given an 8MP snapper that can shoot good selfies. While the last year model features only 12MP + 2MP rear camera. Other connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth GPS, NFC, 4G and USB Type-C.

Battery

While having a battery comparison, let us make it clear that both the phones offer same size battery. However, the inclusion of the MicroUSB port in the Honor 7X allows it charge fast. The Honor 7X in UAE and Honor 6X rely on 3340mAh battery with a 3.5mm headphone jack. With a heavy usage, the device can last for an almost entire day. Since they sport same battery, we cannot decide which is the better option. They offer almost similar battery life.
