Is This Your Next Smartphone?

2017-12-02
dual cameras an aluminum build a fingerprint sensor a bezel is display and a headphone jack and a smartphone in 2017 hey guys this is Austin went on and reached out and wanted to sponsor a video on their brand new 7x all I needed was the word headphone jack and I was in now the first thing I noticed is that that blue is actually pretty nice so something I really liked with the original pixel was the very blue color well this isn't quite so vibrant it is definitely unique there's not exactly a lot of other stuff in the box so there's a european-style power plug as well as a micro USB cable the idea here is that you're getting a lot of what you would expect on a 20-17 flagship but at a much lower price so the actual official announcement of this phone will be on December 5th but from what I've heard it's going to be under 300 euros considering the price this feels good so the design actually reminds me a little bit of the iPhone 7 so it has very rounded corners it's a bit of like a seamless design but when you flip it around front the screen is a lot bigger while it would be nice to see USBC on the bottom instead of the microUSB port we do however get the headphone jack I will say that the bottom firing speaker on this is maybe not quite as loud as I'd like but intership of the headphone jack kind of evens that out for me there's also a fingerprint sensor on board and it's fast I mean basically as soon as you put your finger on the button the phone wakes right up inside it's powered by a Kirin 659 octa-core processor 4 gigabytes of RAM and 64 gigs of storage Kieran is hallway and honors SOC manufacturer so unlike pretty much every other phone out there that has a Snapdragon chip this is going to be something a little different and honor claims this should be able to hold up better under longer periods of use such as gaming when you get into a game like modern combat 5 they'll see that actually holds up pretty well and it does take advantage of the 18 by 9 display so well yes this is not going to have the same power or something like a flagship it looks a presently good and for pretty much any game that's available on Android it should be able to handle it and with a 30 340 million power battery you should be able to get some pretty good gaming in on this guy on our claims this should last up to a day and a half of normal usage software wise we have Android 7.0 with mui 5.1 on top now this is a bit of a heavier skin however you can customize it by Rhian abling the app drawer which is what I've done here and there are some cool features like being able to pull down and get something very similar to spotlight a big selling point of the auto 7x is the bezel less display so it's rocking a 6-inch 2160 by 1080 max view panel when you look at it up front it's pretty much all screen so it has a similar screen to body ratio just something I could Galaxy Note 8 and while yes the panel itself maybe is not the most color accurate thing in the world at this kind of price there's not much to complain about plus that wider 18 by 9 aspect ratio does a really good job of showing you more widescreen videos such as our iPhone 10 is it worth it it fills out a lot more of the screen one of my favorite budget phones of this year is the Moto e 4 plus with a 5.5 inch screen it's actually a fairly similar size to the honor however you can see it just how much less screen real estate you actually have to work with here have you said your big display is also helpful when it comes to split screen so you tap and hold on the multitasking you can pull up say like another app if you want you can be watching a video at the same time as you're scrolling to a web page replying to a message whatever around back we have two cameras a 16 megapixel main shooter backed up with a 2 megapixel secondary camera for stuff like portrait mode wow that's so stylized let's go crazy town on this you can tell they're really sort of like pushing the shadows and the highlights but with this sort of wide aperture mode that's an interesting look I mean it's different a little bit of HDR action see what the dynamic range is like so bad I mean do you fear it helps a little bit cloudy right now but it's pretty much keeping everything in the shot you can also enable a simulated bouquet for the front-facing camera the front-facing portrait actually doesn't look bad so it does lose a little bit of the side of my face and especially the glasses which a lot of phones have a problem with but consider you this doing this purely in software whereas at least on the rear facing cameras you do have that secondary camera to sort of figure out the depth this isn't bad and this is what the 1080p video looks like from the honor 7x so while it would be nice to have 4k the stabilization is actually not too bad and even when I'm kind of trying to move around and change exposure stuff it holds up pretty well the honor 7x is an interesting phone so considering the price there's a lot to like stuff like the bezel is display the dual cameras the good build quality saw battery life but the question is what this thing actually costs honor will be announcing the full price of the 7x a launch event on December 5th and I'm very curious to see exactly where this lines up because if the price is right it's a really compelling phone so what do you guys think about the honor 7x let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
