Following the introduction of the Honor 70 and X9a, Celltron Nepal, the official distributor of Honor smartphones, has launched the Honor X7a in the country. The device made its global debut earlier in January. So, let's take a look at what Honor has to offer with the X7a, as well as its official price in Nepal.
Honor X7a Overview:
Design, Display
The Honor X7a is a slim and lightweight phone that measures 8.27mm and weighs 196 grams. Despite such a slim form factor, the company was able to squeeze a larger 6000mAh battery here. It has a gradient finish on the back and is available in three vibrant colors: Titanium Silver, Ocean Blue, and Midnight Black.
On the front, there is a U-shaped notch, which looks a bit dated in 2023. The smartphone is built around a 6.7-inch LCD screen which refreshes at a 90Hz refresh rate and has TUV Rheinland certification for eye protection. This is an HD+ resolution screen, by the way. Likewise, you get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for biometrics.
In charge of things inside is a MediaTek MT6765H processor which corresponds to the Helio G37. This is a step down from the Honor X7's Snapdragon 680 SoC. To compare, the Snapdragon 680 has four Cortex-A73 (2.4GHz) cores and four Cortex-A53 (1.9GHz) cores. The Helio G37, on the other hand, has eight Cortex-A53 cores, half of which run at 2.3GHz and the other half at 1.8GHz.
Memory options are limited to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The latter can be expanded up to 1TB with a microSD card. Similarly, the smartphone runs Magic UI 6.1, which is based on Android 12. Honor has made no promises about future platforms or security patch updates either.
Others
Camera hardware on the Hono X7a includes a 50MP main sensor, a 5MP ultra-wide lens, and a couple of 2MP macro, and depth units on the back. On the front is an 8MP camera for selfies and video calls.
Fueling the Honor X7a is, as aforementioned, a 6000mAH cell. With a battery life of up to 3.5 days, it is ranked first in the DXOMark global battery ranking. Furthermore, Honor claims that the X7a will retain 80% of its original battery capacity even after three years of use. For charging, you get a 22.5W charger inside the box.
