Officially presented earlier this month, the Honor 7Xa is another model from the Chinese manufacturer in the entry-level smartphone market. The least we can say given its characteristics is that this model is robust. The smartphone is currently on sale at Fnac with the Earbuds X3 Lite. If the smartphone initially costs 239 euros, the pack goes from 279 euros to 229 euros.
Honor wants to conquer the entry-level smartphone market by 2023. The Chinese manufacturer is expanding its catalog with the Honor X7a. With this model, the company is back on the basis of success: good value for money, endurance and versatility. Today it is available in a pack with Earbuds X3 Lite for 50 euros cheaper.
What to expect from the Honor X7a?
- A 90Hz FullView IPS display
- The MediaTek MT6765H processor
- Long battery life and very efficient fast charging
Instead of the usual 279 euros, the Honor X7a + Honor Earbuds X3 Lite are now available from Fnac for 229 euros.
The classic way to get started with Honor
The Honor X7a has serious competitors, including the Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 Pro and the Oppo Reno 7, in the entry-level smartphone market. To stand out, the team honors the MediaTek MT6765H processor that brings Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 5. This SoC is connected to the GPU PowerVR GE8320. This configuration is rounded off by 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card. With the set you can go about your daily business without much effort.
The manufacturer has opted for a 6.74-inch IPS FullView panel for this smartphone. If the resolution falls behind compared to what the competition offers, Honor makes up for it with a 90Hz refresh rate. This will not miss your navigation. We have a model that measures 167.48 x 76.85 x 8.27 mm for 196 grams. You will have no problems handling it on a daily basis.
A sober design and a good finish
The Honor X7a has a very sober design, especially in the Midnight Black version. On the back there is a photo module with a triple photo sensor. The 50 MP main sensor is combined with a 5 MP wide-angle and a 2 MP macro sensor. You’ll get decent shots under the right conditions, but don’t expect too much from a smartphone with this price positioning.
Honor insisted on the autonomy of this model. The latter has a large 5330mAh battery. The manufacturer announces an autonomy of 26 hours with continuous music streaming. With continuous video playback, it’s around 19 hours. Fast charging is 22.5W and restores three hours of battery in about ten minutes. Finally, the user interface is based on Android 12, which will surely optimize the user experience.
