HONOR 7X: Best Budget Android Phone

The smartphone revolution has seen some incredible advances in technology. Most people now carry in their pocket a device that is more powerful than full-size computers were just a few years ago.

These astounding leaps in processing power have led to users being able to do amazing things with their smartphones, but at a price. Increasingly, consumers are balking at the ever-rising cost of mobile technology, and many are now looking for a capable smartphone at a more reasonable cost. HONOR has just the thing: the HONOR 7X – the best budget Android phone.

Stay with us and read on to find out more about the HONOR 7X and discover how it can make an impact in your life without making a dent in your wallet!

Feature-rich
Since smartphones have become so ubiquitous, there are now certain features that we all take for granted: we expect to be able to take great photos, use a logical and intuitive operating system, and have our privacy protected. It doesn't matter whether we are spending oodles of cash, or keeping the budget small, we all want to experience these features. The HONOR 7X recognises this and keeps costs low, but has the skills of much more advanced devices.

One example is unlocking. Not so long ago, the only way to gain access to your phone was to enter a PIN or pattern. Now, though, biometric data provides a simple way to ensure that you are the only one with access to your data. The HONOR 7X features face unlocking, just like its bigger brothers in the HONOR family. What easier way is there to prove your identity than using your face?

Oh, and by the way, it's fast, too. The HONOR 7X can recognise you in 0.25 seconds, which is about the same time as a blink of the eye.

This also leads on to the nifty 'smart lock screen notifications' feature. Don't want 'shoulder surfers' to get a sneaky look at the contents of messages that pop up on your lock screen? Well, the HONOR 7X will only show the contents of those notifications when it recognises that you are the one looking at them. Clever stuff.

Awesome camera

The camera is powerful, too. As you would expect from HONOR, the rear camera has a dual 16MP+2MP lens, to ensure that your photos look really good. It boasts an ultrafast focus and its portrait mode lets you capture great images of your friends.

Fancy a selfie? The HONOR 7X does that amazingly well. With Portrait Selfie, you can ensure that you look good, whatever the occasion. And if you need a bit more time to perfect your pose, then why not use gesture control to set the timer? A quick turn of the palm and your HONOR 7X will set the wheels in motion. No touch necessary.

All of this technological wizardry is powered by the 2.36GHz Octa-core Kirin 659 processor, teamed up with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage memory. (Or, if you're not up to speed on all the technical terms, you just need to know one thing: it can keep up with you!)

Prepare for a shock

Of course, you would expect that all of this would be terribly expensive, right? Wrong. The HONOR 7X is priced at an outstanding £229.99. Wow.

Of course, when you're the proud owner of the HONOR 7X, you might start feeling the urge to tell your friends how little you paid compared to them. Just don't be surprised if they start to cry!
