Reviews for the Honor 7C
The letters make all the difference. The Honor 7C is a lower mid-range smartphone in large format with a modern full-view display. Unfortunately, the dual camera's second sensor has a very low resolution. Can we take that hit in exchange for this low price?

Archive.org versionAt a starting price of Rs. 9,999, the Honor 7C is good upgrade to 2016’s Honor 5C. It has a larger screen, faster SoC, sleek design, dedicated dual SIM and microSD slots, and good battery life. Even though it has dual rear cameras, the image quality is not the best compared to other phones in the range. If you can mange with hybrid SIM slots, the Honor 7X that received a price cut recently at Rs. 2000 higher price tag is a better choice since it features a better screen, cameras and it will also get the GPU Turbo graphics processing acceleration technology later this year that will make the phone faster.

Archive.org versionThe Honor 7C offers above-average performance overall. Choose it if you want a dual-camera setup for daylight photos with a bokeh effect, a large 18:9 display, good battery life, and Android 8.0 Oreo out-of-the-box. Performance isn’t the best out there, especially when compared with the Redmis on sale, but it certainly gets things done.

Archive.org versionHonor 7C is a nifty option in the budget category, though I expected more on the performance front, especially since the 4GB RAM variant costs Rs 11,999 which is the same price as the Redmi Note 5.

Archive.org versionThe Honor 7C is a little confusing. And that makes it a little to recommend. Even though, like most Honor phones, the Honor 7C is also a jack of all trades. The Honor 7C feels good, has a modern display that works well, it metes out decent all-round performance, and it comes with capable dual cameras. The Honor 7C also has the latest in software, and a battery that should last one full day for most users. But it isn't remarkably better than the Honor 7A. If you're looking to buy an Honor phone on a budget, the Honor 7A is the phone to get. In case you can extend your budget a bit, you can also go for the Honor 9 Lite.

Archive.org versionBoth the Honor 7A and 7C are contenders in the sub-Rs 10,000 category with the 7A, in particular, being a great option for anyone seeking an 18:9 aspect ratio display, dual cameras, and face unlock at a relatively affordable price from a high-profile brand. The 7C has a much tougher battle to fight but it remains one of the better options for anyone seeking a good device for under Rs 10,000. And that is not really a bad place to be, believe us.

Archive.org versionThe Honor 7C looks sleek, is built well, and is loaded with features. Battery life is decent and so is the display. That said, EUMI is laggy and laden with third-party bloat, and both the front and rear cameras are average at best. Potential buyers should take a look at the Oppo Realme 1 (Review), which lacks a fingerprint sensor but offers a better-rounded package, or the Redmi Note 5 (Review) which offers far more value for money. The Honor 7C is also priced dangerously close to Honor's own 9 Lite (Review), which has a higher-resolution display, a better set of cameras, and a sleek glass body.

Archive.org versionIt’s odd that Honor is releasing the 7C phone at £169 when the Honor 7A is available for £139. However, this 7C adds dual cameras and a better chipset to entice you into spending £30 more.

Model:
The Honor 7C is a low-cost Android smartphone and the most affordable dual-camera phone on the market. It offers face unlock, dual rear cameras and a large screen on a serious budget, which makes it worth considering. The smartphone is very well made, crafted from a mixture of aluminum and 2.5D tempered glass, which is a design combo typically reserved for high-end smartphones. It also seems to be fast, handling everyday tasks, such as browsing the web, with ease. The power/lock and volume keys on the right side of the phone are easy to reach, while a 3-in-1 tray on the left can accommodate two SIM cards and a micro-SD card. Audio fans wil be pleased to hear that Honor has opted to keep the 3.5mm headphone jack on the base of the handset. It lines up alongside a single speaker and a micro USB port. Users will find a sizable 5.99-inch, 18:9 HD display on the front of the phone, with a Snapdragon 450 chipset, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage under the hood. The Honor 7C also boasts Android 8 Oreo, an 8-MP front camera and a 3,000-mAh battery. In combination with an attractive price tag, this makes the 7C worth checking out. The 7C steps up to a Snapdragon 450 with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage by default, while also providing the 3-in-1 card slot option or an upgraded 64GB model. The device feels substantially more modern thanks to its superior materials and processor. It is fast, smooth and very nice to hold in the hand. A fingerprint scanner is at the back of the device, which is a handy addition when it comes to biometric security.
The rear-facing dual camera (13 megapixels + 2 megapixels) delivers decent shots. Shots taken in daylight looked crisp, delivering a fantastic ‘bokeh’ effect in the various test shots. However, those taken at night lacked both clarity and detail, which is the case with most cameras on all but high-end phones. The front-facing camera, on the other hand, is something to write home about. It has a standard 8-megapixel sensor, which, when paired with an LED flash, seems impressive. The resulting selfie is brimming with detail, even if it was taken in relative darkness. The display, however, is another matter. The 5.99-inch 18:9 FullView (1440 x 720) LCD screen did not really impress, delivering sub-par viewing angles and low maximum brightness. Text is not sharp enough to be easily read, in part due to the standard HD resolution, and colors appear slightly off. Mid-range phones are getting cheaper and better these days. Some even have flagship-like specifications. The Honor 7C is no different. It takes some very good hardware, including a 18:9 screen, and puts it in a rather attractive shell with an affordable price tag.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.
The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).
73.42%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
