So here are some of the major features of the Honor 7X phone -

The Honor 7X is powered by Huawei's own Kirin 659 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and a 3,340mAh battery. The phone shall come in two variants with a plethora of storage space, either 32,64 or 128GB storage which can be expanded via a microSD card. 

Software

The phone shall run on the Android 7.0 Nougat platform with Huawei's custom EMUI 5.1 skin on top. The cutting-edge feature of the metal clad Honor 7X is the fact that it has minimal bezels up front.

Display

On the display front, it has an edge-to-edge 5.9-inch FullHD+ display with a tall 18:9 aspect ratio. The Honor 7X sports a dual camera setup at the rear - a primary 16MP sensor paired with a secondary 2MP sensor for the capture of depth data. On the front, there is a single 8MP sensor for selfies.

According to Honor's Global President, the Honor 7X is set to launch in India at an "unbeatable price'".
