It's price point I think!

Honor 7A - Jack of all Trades...
It feels really good,has a modern display that works well when you are out and about, it meets out decent all-round performance. It has got capable dual cameras. It also has the latest software and a battery that should last one full day for most users. It may be the best phone that you all can buy under 10K. However the phone misses out little bit on performance. Which is crucial factor while choosing a good phone. On the bright side it is one of the cheapest phones to include Face unlock which competitors are unable to provide in this price range.

Every OEM is doing it irrespective of the price range.

My favoirite feature is 3 card slots. 2 for sim cards and 1 for memory card. No tension for storage limits.

Honor 7A gets a 5.7-inch bezel less display, and a plastic body design. It supports two SIM cards and a microSD card.

Bezel is there. No phone is coming without bezel. How would anyone hold a phone with no bezel?

All the lower end phones have 18:9 display without reducing the bezels much. So it's just taller than the old phones.

Recently I was confused between Redmi 5 & Honor 7A (32GB at 9k each) for my aunt & finally decided to get Redmi 5 because of better SoC. But 7A is good device indeed, especially for those who want a smaller device with 2 SIMs + SD card. I feel Honor could have launched a 16GB model at 8k & made it a bigger success. 16GB is enough for just storing apps. Redmi 5 has a 16GB model even though it has the hybrid slot.

You can hold a phone without any bezels on a flat hand. Whether or not you would be able to use it properly is another topic.

What happen if I want to play game or take photos? Fingers would touch screen.

Cool phone, nice price.

There should be touch rejection algorithms in the phone's OS which rejects accidental palm touches & any other scenario which they see fit. The palm rejection on the curved screen of my S8 is good, without it I'm pretty sure I would have been annoyed by it.

Not sure if that was a pun or a serious question.

Don't you think going 100% bezel-less would impact the durability of the phone?

It was a joke bro lol.

Imagine buttons on side of screen. Full display for game, side for buttons.

It will but I think Samsung and Gorilla Glass will figure something out. The latter has already made a screen which survived about 20 drops.

Connecting many phones for music is good but not requested. People have sound box for that function.

What about the 21st drop? :rofl:

People will either buy more cases or spend more time in service centers to fix their broken screens.

I want this in Honor Play but Honor want just big screen and useless notch.

They could've easily cut the notch off. Why won't they listen to feedback? :facepalm:

My fav feature is 32 gb. I take photos of my grandchildren.

With a smaller 5.7-inch HD+ (720x1440 pixels) IPS LCD panel, the Honor 7A is definitely much sleeker and is easier to fit in your hand. On the front, the phone has an 18:9 display with onscreen controls for Android navigation. Above the display are the front camera sensor, earpiece, ambient light sensor, and proximity sensor. On the back of the smartphone, you can spot the dual rear camera setup with an LED flash to one side. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and Honor branding on the back.

Honor 7A has dual bluetooth connectivity. It’s a handy feature as it allows the phone to connect with two devices via Bluetooth at the same time, allowing you to listen to music while talking on a headset.
