Yes that would mean it supports fast charging perhaps depending on you buying the fast charger. The in box charger for both versions are different. As per the Huawei China online store specs the 64gb version comes with 9V 2A quick charger while the 16gb comes with the 5V 2A charger. The former will charge 0 to 100% in 1 hour 25 mins, while latter will charge 0 to 100% in 1 hour 46mins.

In a way both are fast charging anyway but the fast charger name has been left for their fastest one.

Does the Honor 7 skip music track on long press volume key ?

Big thanks to s7yler for the brilliant post and wonderful detailed video!! :D

With the UK launch event just happened and the phone available on Vmall eu for a great price of 209 GBP (inc £40 discount until eof 31/08/2015), I'm really interested in this phone (the video has pretty much convinced me to go for this now rather than wait for the Nexus 5 2015).

- It's a small thing but, would someone be able to tell me if the Honor 7 will skip a music track when you long-press the volume button ??

Cheers, Derek

first charge. very happy :p coming from s6.

Unfortunately not, but another thing is, I found out that you in the Browser can scroll down or up on pages using the volume button.... (but must first be enabled in the settings).
[Honor 7 General] blackrome0:
Ok, a few questions, I'm actually thinking of selling my note 4 for this.

Does it work with xposed framework?

I use LMT pie controls on my note 4, will it work with this phone too?

pEksi91 - seeing as you're coming from the s6, how much of a drop down would say it is? Particularly the display

Will my Samsung fast charger be compatible with this phone?

I was holding out for the moto style and new nexus devices, but after watching this feature packed video review, my mind has been dramatically swayed!

Huge kudos s7yler!

Whoops! never mind about LMT I've just seen the thread about rooting the phone. Think I'll hold off on rooting for a while.
[Honor 7 General] s7yler:
Thanks! regarding the display, I personally find it brighter (thanks to JDI which has better brightness than Super Amoled, Super Amoled is known for not having the highest screen brightness) and as sharp to look at as my S6 Edge. For me it is not a step down at all.
[Honor 7 General] pEksi91:
overall s6 is better but i like honor 7 more.

camera is about the same but front camera is better on honor 7.

performance is a bit better on s6. screen is brighter and better on s6 but better than lg g4.

fingerprint scanner is much faster on honor 7.

battery life is better on honor 7 but cant say sure (got this device 6hours ago).

microsd slot is a nice feature on honor 7.

Not mentioned anywhere on their official sites, except for :

"The Honor 7’s hardware and software has been rigorously tested to make sure that it complies with the network access standards of all the world's largest carriers, giving a much more reliable, smooth and secure user experience."

https://www.vmall.eu/uk/honor-7-grey-281214/

But most likely similar to the bands on the Huawei P8 TDD LTE: B38/B39/B40/B41 (2555MHz~2655MHz)

FDD LTE:B1/B3/B4/B7 ( http://consumer.huawei.com/en/mobile-phones/tech-specs/p8-en.htm)

Edit: We should have a separate pinned question thread on Q&A section, where everyone can ask questions and answers to common questions are then later linked directly from the first post. The review thread can remain separate, and we can also have a separate tips and tricks thread.

I found three different models of honor 7 64gb,16gb singel sim and 16gb dual sim. Don't know if they all support same lte bands.

Skickat från min LG-E975 via Tapatalk 2
[Honor 7 General] warea:
In China there are four models. All are dual sims, but only two of them are dual 4g. All of them has FDD-LTE bands B1 and B3 only but....

PLK-TL01H - which is China "mobile" network (TD-SCDMA), WCDMA & FDD-LTE support is limited to international roaming and not in China (i dont know how that applies in real world), and one sim slot 4g while second sim slot support only 2g. (1999 RMB)

PLK-CL00 - telecom version which is basically CDMA network, 16gb, FFD-LTE B1 & B3 of which B1 is limited to intl roaming, 3G WCDMA limited to intl roaming, single 4g.

PLK-UL00 - is China "unicom" network i.e. WCDMA, 16gb, and support Dual 4g. (2199 RMB)

PLK-AL10 - which support all China networks i.e unicom, mobile and telecom, and with 64gb, dual 4g, NFC & faster charging adapter. Gold color is available for this version only. (2499 RMB)

So do you have any idea how the EU version will look like? I mean, will it also have Dual 4G and NFC? also for the 16GB version maybe?
[Honor 7 General] ludovicien:
An Honor rep in France is answering many of these questions on the French Frandroid forum, a serious place.

http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/226527-officiel-les-specs-du-honor-7-et-les-r%C3%A9ponses-que-vous-attendez/

It's in French naturally, but the person kicks off the thread with a list of specs and answers to questions which easy to understand and you can use Google translate for the rest of the thread where most of the questions I had are asked.

Main points are perhaps these:

-Definitely no NFC on the 16GB version and no plans at present to sell the NFC-equipped 64GB version on the EU market

-The Cat 6 LTE advanced on the 7 is of the interband type and not intraband (I had to google this) so it won't work for now in France - I don't know about the UK. This is a hardware issue. Bands available are 1 (2100), 3 (1800), 7 (2600), 8 (900) and 20 (800). Intraband means using two frequencies on the same band while interband means using a combination of two different bands (eg 800 + 1800). In Belgium, LTE-A uses 800+1800 while in France it uses two different frequencies on the same band (source- Ericsson)

-Single nano sim plus sd card setup OR active double nano sims, but only one can use 4G at a time

-No information on a future Android M update but further EMUI updates planned

-Gorilla Glass ( no number specified)

-299 euros will be the permanent price in France when the coupon offer is over but orders will only be taken once a week (a la OnePlus One a few months back)
[Honor 7 General] gsusx:

[Honor 7 General] ludovicien:
Thanks for that excellent review video, s7yler. I'm probably going to buy this but I wonder if you could answer a question for me.

In your video comparing the Oneplus 2 and the Honor 7 the Oneplus seemed to retrieve much more detail in the long range shot you took and the image seemed filled with light while the one taken by the Honor seemed darker and fuzzier. Is that your general experience using the two phones in daylight, that the Oneplus is better?
[Honor 7 General] El Philou:
You can check capabilities here with IMEI : http://www.ucc.co.ug/data/imei/2

[Honor 7 General] sionyboy:
Thanks for your impressions. What sort of battery life are you getting with the H7, specifcally screen on time.

My wife has ordered an H7 as an upgrade from her LG G2, but I'm currently on the fence. Current phone is a OnePlus One, but the battery life has plummeted since Lollipop so I want something that is going to give me a few more hours of screen time each day (currently I'm getting about 4hrs)

I'm also unsure how noticeable the downgrade will be from the Snapdragon 801 to the A53 processors in the Honor.
[Honor 7 General] warea:
Well wait until your wife receives the H7 ;)

In my daily usage i usually end up with 20-40% battery at bed, then i do 30-45minute charge in the morning before heading to work. In general with heavy usage you can last a day while 1 1/2 to 2 days in medium to light usage. Obviously everyone will have different usages, different apps, different features turned on/off and so on, and so its relative.

The Kirin 935 CPU is more similar to the Snapdragon 808 or Helio X10, but in graphics not as powerful as Snapdragon GPUs. With the exception of heavy gamers or wanting to beat Samsung benchmarks, the GPU works quite fine in real world usage.

That said, since Oneplus One is a 5.5" phone while Honor 7 a 5.2". You can wait for what Huawei releases on IFA as they might up come with interesting phablets and maybe even a new chipset although none of teaser indicate new chipset. But since they are releasing under the Huawei main brand they won't be budget friendly as the Honor 7.
[Honor 7 General] eruben:
i'm choosing between OnePlus 2 and Honor 7. The only thing that bothers me if there will be any custom ROM development with Honor 7? I know it's not that easy question to answer, but I really hope for help as I think H7 wins with most of specs.

Thanks.
[Honor 7 General] s7yler:
You mean the screen right? or the cameras?

Actually I think the screen looks better on the Honor 7 than on the OP2. The Honor 7 has a JDI screen, and it seems brighter and more colourful than the screen type in the OP2. But both have really good detail.
[Honor 7 General] EGneets:
Hi s7yler, im considering buying the Honor7 (I was looking at the Honor 7/Honor 6/Galaxy S5/Z3c).

Could you comment a bit on the thickness and weight of the phone?

Specs state 8.5mm which sounds pretty thick to me (compared with the Huawei P7&P8 as well as the Honor 6).

Is this 8.5mm including the camera which sticks out? Or is the majority of the body actually 8.5mm?

i.e. where you compare it withthe Samsung S6 Egde, they look similar thickness (S6e is 7mm)!?

Which other bigger phone feels comparable to the Honor 7?

Oh, and is there a 64bits version of Andriod on the phone or is it running a 32bits Android?
[Honor 7 General] s7yler:
Phone is in the center (without camera part) measured to 8.25mm thick. Sounds worse than it in reality is. Actually it doesn't feel that thick, and we must remember that it also has a 3100mah battery, while some other thinner phones have smaller batteries - so for me it is fine.

In the top the S6 almost look the same thickness, that is correct. But the S6 is thinner from the side of course.

When my Honor 7 and S6 Edge are on the table side by side, the Honor 7 is slightly thicker. But I don't think that the Honor 7 is a thick phone but also not especially thin. I would say for the 5.2 it has an acceptable thickness. And btw. the backside of the Honor 7 is slightly rounded, so it is thicker in the center than in the sides. So when you hold it in the hand it doesn't really feel that thick, because the thickest part is only in the center, and of course the camera.
[Honor 7 General] EGneets:
Wow, thats a fast reply, and it pulls me over to get the Honor 7, thanks a lot.

Now it is just deciding between grey or silver...

Lastly, could you advise if there's a 64bits of Andriod on the phone or is it running 32bits Android?
[Honor 7 General] s7yler:
Of course all 64bit, Lollipop and the CPU is full 64bit....

[Honor 7 General] eruben:
But what about development? I doubt there would be custom roms for Honor 7. Is it?
[Honor 7 General] warea:
Custom roms for CM and the likes depends on how many developers outside China will use the phone and how active they will be. So its too quick to make a conclusion on that now.

In China, custom roms based on roms of different Chinese manufacturers do get available as there are dedicated teams of developers who brings all kinds of roms into all kinds of phones. And pretty sure will be available for Honor 7 as well.

I stick with EMUI and not into other roms. But for those wanting stock android, i would suggest maybe looking into porting One plus's Oxygen OS to Honor 7 :confused:
[Honor 7 General] EGneets:
Note that this is not standard, I've read some reviews of 64bits devices which did not have a 64bits version of Android installed.

Some manufacturers do install 32bit Android on a 64bit device. :confused:

But I've watched your entire comprehensive review and you can see that on the Honor 7 there indeed is a 64bits version installed (watch from 33:38). :good:

Hoping for my silver Honor 7 to arrive tomorrow :fingers-crossed:
[Honor 7 General] j1mgg:
Thank you for the great videos and Info from members.

Went to have a look at this phone on the EU website and it is sold out, also missed the discount. Really stuck with what phone to get next, but liking the little features that can be done on this(finger sensor swipes, programmable button)
[Honor 7 General] eruben:
I've heard there are different versions of this phone. Like European, Chinese, International. Is there any difference between them? I'm going to order International one from China.
[Honor 7 General] s7yler:
Yeah but that is only on some cheap budget models, that the OS is still 32bit, if the phone is highend like the Honor 7 they are usually always real 64bit. Running AnTuTu in 64bit mode is also ONLY possible if CPU and OS are both 64bit.
[Honor 7 General] s7yler:
Look some pages back, someone posted the different versions and what is different on them.
[Honor 7 General] El Philou:
China haven't same band in LTE in particular in FDD mode, so before buy check if is comptatible with your provider...

In fact china models support only FDD-LTE B1 / B3

While the two similar looking grilles at the bottom of the smartphone suggest a dual-speaker system, you actually just get one speaker on the left side. However, it can impress with a pretty good sound: The maximum volume should be sufficient for many applications, and both music as well as voices are quite natural and free of distortions. You can even notice some bass; some notebooks offer worse speakers.

The review unit was not shipped with a headset, but we can still confirm a very good sound quality for the stereo jack. The maximum volume is also very high.

[Honor 7 General] s7yler:
camera picture quality is better on the OP2 I think, it is really good on the OP2. But recording video is not so good on the OP2, it has problems with the focus, it keeps to refocus (must to often) when you move, all the time actually when moving, and that looks strange in the video then.

As per this : http://www.androidauthority.com/honor-7-arm-mali-gpu-image-processing-627997/

The camera on Honor 7 is implemented in such a way its open to bigger improvements. So as Huawei keeps using the same IMX230 on other phones and better optimizations, we will see significant improvements on our device as well.

If you ordered from Vmall.eu how much time they took to deliver? I read somewhere in this forum that if you can stick micro SD card with sim card than you can use both slot with two sim card and micro SD , do you thing is this possible without damaging or alteration ? Can we use two SIM slot and access at least 3G on both at same time? or only one of them can be used to access internet? How is hardware finishing ? is that any tiny or visible gap when plastic going with metal on back or any where between screen and metal or glass part, as I was very disappointing with HTC One M7 and had three replacement due to uneven gap in construction, is that any remote control Irda there? how is FM radio quality ? it it has inbuilt call recoding facility without beeping ? sorry for so many question

[Honor 7 General] onlinejobwork:
Recently ordered from Vmall.eu and waiting for delivery since one week but when I see the camera quality this is worst I have ever seen, As it lacks of IOS there no way any software update can make the image better, its pointless to use Sony image sensor without IOS and raised camera module like S6 give false impression of quality optics, Software can only improve things on grainy image, and light and saturation but not what IOS can do, as you can see in this review http://flip.it/0DjXJ comparison that its way inferior than S6, I know we can't compare £249 device with almost double price Samsung, but even when I compared with Onepus 1, Oneplus 2, LG G2, Moto X Play which are similar price and their image quality are most acceptable than on Honor 7 I have to accept that we get what we paid for, I have to give up on image quality for price and fingerprint reader and premium built, my next choice would be Oneplus 2 or Motor X play, but useless Oneplus 2 invite system mean you hardy get change and Moto X play has no fingerprint sensor and no dual sim model for UK and standard built so Honor 7 would be the only choice left for me atm, Opp R7 has everything good but I don't like anything less than 5.2" and and I am used to 5.2", user will be more than happy if Huawei can put IOS for 20-30 quid extra and I most folks don't mind paying which also put honour 7 to at least respectable compare level with flagship class like Sony and Samsung

The review or purchased unit Styler has which is not UK or Europe model so I doubt that software options in setting so possibilities of variation in hardware occurs , also there might not same firmware or software version on all the variants, so due to different in software version and due to their different optimisation the result of screen brightness, camera and sound quality and even reception might differs
