The Honor 7S is the newest smartphone from the company and this time around, Honor has set its sights on the budget category. Let’s take a quick look at what the smartphone has to offer.

Kicking things off with the display, the Honor 7S sports a 5.45-inch screen with an 18:9 aspect ratio. It offers a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels.

Coming to the chipset, the Honor 7S is powered by a MediaTek M6739 SoC with a PowerVR GE8100 GPU.

In terms of memory, the phone offers 2GB RAM and 16GB of on-board storage. The internal space can be further increased by up to 256GB via a microSD card.

It should be noted that the microSD card slot is separate from the dual SIM slots. So users are free to use two sim cards and expand their storage at the same time.

At the back of the phone is a single 13MP unit with PDAF. At the front, you get a 5MP camera with an LED flash. The company notes that this flash is able to automatically adjusts to different lighting conditions.

The device runs EMUI 8.0, which is based on Android Oreo v8.1.

The Honor 7S packs a 3020mAh battery, which is aided by Smart Battery Management 6.0. This is said to optimise foreground app performance and reduce power consumption in background apps.

Like we said earlier, post your comments and stand to win an Honor 10 worth ₹33K and up to ₹70,000 PayTM money. For more info, check here in a new tab for more details.

I believe this is a competitor to Redmi 5 but as per rumors, Redmi 6 could be launched soon. Also, Redmi 5 has SD450 while MT6739 barely matches with SD425.

I think while focusing on the budget segment, you should have upgraded the battery life to 4000mah.

No, they have Honor 7C for that. This seems to be a competitor for Redmi 5A.

The 7S is a fairly nondescript black (or blue) all-plastic smartphone. It has a 5.45in 18:9 display, the aspect ratio meaning it’s a tall and slim device despite the size of the screen.

One of my favorite thing is display 18:9 ration with 5.45inch fits in hand perfectly , this is one of those phone which doesn't need a Wider or longer pockets to fit in Or it comes out , it fits perfectly in pocket. Also its 720p LCD screen doesn't feel bad at all, its crisp , catchy and soothing to eyes.

Where is very high capacity battery we all wanted? At least you didn't use notch which is a very good thing.

The Smartphone will be powered by 1.5 GHz Quad core Mediatek MT6739 Processor. A 2 GB of RAM & PowerVR GE8100 graphics processor will ensure phone runs smoothly even the most memory intensive applications with no signs of lag. 16 GB of internal storage will be open for expansion upto 256 GB via a microSD card.

Yeah, right. :deadbored:
A phone running emui on 2 GB ram is supposed to be smooth even for those kind of apps. :facepalm:

Yes, it will be a big upgrade. As SaiyanGoku suggested, put a post in Buying Advice section with the questionnaire filled out:
