  • I bought this phone and have been using it for the past 2 months,in fact,the phone is VERY good,no overheating,4G is working well,camera is great,earpiece is woow,I downloaded Dub music player from play store,you will only experience heating when you are using apps that consume lots of battery for instance,whilst browsing in 4G mode,I was playing music,whatsapping,checking football livescores as well,this will cause heating definitely since those apps are battery consuming,the battery also charges very fast.TO SUM IT UP,THIS PHONE IS VERY GOOD.

  • LOL! Just rotate the camera and point it under the desk to see what is your lady friend wearing under.

  • You can use its camera as a spy camera too and this is a big deal

  • No sir it takes one 1 hour 10 mints to go 0% to 100% with only its original changer

  • Yes it is!

  • is this the huawei shotx..?

  • Soooooner.

  • Still no Quick Charge? I love Huawei for their UI, and how slick it is, but they are really playing catch up with the rest of the world. Fingerprint scanners are really nice too.

  • What is the price difference between 3 GB of RAM (32gb)& 2GB of RAM (16gn) ?

  • It is confirmed that this phone has radio!

  • Yes it does but it doesn't supports connectivity to TV via HDMI.

  • It does support OTG

  • Please put camera check for this phone I cant choose between this and desire eye.any one can help me?

  • when u're gonna review this phone?

  • one of the best phones ever seen.No doubt about its battery and performance.Awesome camera quality and excellent photos.Truly the best!

  • Really, if updates are that important to you it takes very little skill to root and flash your phone. I don't see how you can completely blame the OEM for not getting updates. And if you're just too lazy or can't (refuse to) learn then stick with a major phone series that gets updates in a timely enough manner for you.

  • Why won't I buy it? I'm buying 2 for me & my wife, must u update d OS to lollipop common u must be a paid client

  • Because 7 with the i doesnt mean its a better version of 7. 7i is just another version with cheaper CPU but with flip camera.

  • Why have they placed SD 616 instead of Kirin 935? EvenHonor 7 has Kirin 935...

  • any one know about the performance ? with Snapdragon 616 is it working good withouth lage? what about the game performance?

  • no

  • This is the real fact!

  • 2gb rm 16gb rom $250 r 270 maby?

  • The camera use sony bsi and cmos sensor so it is best Price still don't know

  • Can any one guide me about its camera,and price plzz .???

  • Can any one guide me about its camera,and price plzz .???

  • Who paid you to write a bad comment

  • Battery drain out quite fast! Camera is not up to mark!

  • I am really willing to buy this phone.But Can any user of this phone confirm me about the camera quality & battery back up of this phone??

  • Does It Support OTG?

  • yes

  • shame if this is really only for china market. why would it b only for ladies? cause of selfie camera? this phone has all the other goodies of any flagship phone, huawei really does a good job

  • nice camera......movg...........

  • Does this fone surpport otg?

  • The Sony Xperia C5 Ultra is probably a better choice if you can get over its larger size. The Honor 7i is smaller and pretty much targeted towards ladies.

  • What's about the gaming performance????

  • are this phone is perfet choice for me to taking selfie?

  • Yea it's nice because camera cn rotate I think it will be best Congrats @huawei

  • It is a rotating camera the back camera will rotact to secondary camera

  • They actually have... Mate S and the upcoming Nexus 6 (2015)... Both are the flagship phones from huawei

  • Kindly go to the pictures hyperlink... The primary camera will be used as a Secondary one also..

  • You cant turn your camera to the front you. So you have the same.

  • No Front Camera WTF !!!

  • Finally 1. Accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass 2. 16 GB, 2 GB RAM 3. microSD, up to 128 GB 5.2 inches well its not much bigger than 5 Non-removable Li-Po 3100 mAh battery (it's not a perfect world) if it is 250$ it will be the perfect phone

  • amen ..i..

  • is very good huawei , i need one, is better more what iphones!

  • can i ask something??where is the nav bar??because i dont see any button under it..

  • I want to know the SAR Level of this divice.

  • Will this phone ever come to america ,please

  • Will it be launched in India? if there is any news plz let me know.I want to buy this mobile.

  • Is it going to be released in the US?

  • snapdragon when it is more so phone have heating issue

  • this one dont have gorilla glass why huwei not making a flagship device,,with full specification like samsung s5 and one plus 2,,,,

  • Everything looks good 'cept the CPU, better than what they offered before at least.

  • good to see snapdragon cpu in it instead of kirin but that rotating camera is a copy of oppo n1 with new style in this phone

  • Its not about internal memorie's speed, its about making money by increasing RAM acording to internal memory! And You know that RAM is not depend on how much you have internal memory as far as if you have card slot! Thus 16, 32, 64 or 128 gb whatever RAM should be same as we used to other world-wide famous brands!

  • internal memory is not only faster but it also more reliable .

  • Yes, not just the world but the ISS spacestation, the moon and even mars so that curiosity rover can get his new smartphone to take more selfie.

  • Is going to be released in the rest of the World ?

  • infrared?

  • Huwaei done his job in midrange and most beautiful smartphone ever in history

  • No dual band wifi

  • [to AHMED] The Snapdragon was released at the end of July. But, effectively, I think it is less powerfull that the 800. Bye

  • Dear huawei.. I am from indonesia.. Can suggest honor 7i type for indonesia??cos china frequenty not same with indonesia frequenty.. Thanks a lot

  • Who invent that full shit; 32gb has 3 gb ram, 16 gb has 2 gb ram? This is another way to push people to buy phones... they try to make customers to spent their last cents for extra 16 gb to get 3gb memory...Then why are you offering a card slot for this phone? if we, customers going to be very smart, they never will going to play such games with us...Lets not to buy this phone...Till they repent for their invention... Dear friends, who is with me please write same comment against them

  • i think it will rock you ,, this type rotating camera module quite amazing should need to provide infrared port,fast charging also nice device qualcom 616 is new processor better phone from huwei ..

  • Chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 : it is very old . it shouldn't be less than Snapdragon 800

  • Is it a phone ???? :O

  • Wow nice camera
