Honor 7A and 7C: Taking on Apple's face unlock

2018-04-16
it's a brave move to challenge Apple's iPhone 10 particularly when the phone's you're putting up against it cost less than a fifth for the price but that's exactly what honor is doing with the 7a and 7c to budget handsets equipped with face unlock technology that the company claims will recognize you and unlock your phone even faster than Apple's flagship can manage they don't use depth mapping technology like the iPhone 10 however so whether the method is as secure remains to be seen the honest 7c is the more expensive the two handsets it's got a six inch display a metal body a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor and three gig of ram there's a dual camera to a 13 megapixel main sensor with a 2 megapixel backup that lets you shoot portraits with artistic out-of-focus backgrounds the 7c also has a fingerprint scanner in case you don't fancy using your face to access your phone the cheaper 7a has a single 13 megapixel rear camera a stripped back processor and a shell made from plastic rather than metal interestingly both phones have front-facing flashes to illuminate your selfies in the dark the phone's are due to go on sale later this month in the UK for 170 and 140 pounds for the 7c and 7a respectively although the company has yet to officially say whether they'll make it to us Australian stores
