Comparison with S6 and LG G4 is irrelevant as none of the reviews have ever suggested it is better or as good as that. One Plus two also in general in appreciated for good optimization while IMX230 is new and it was obvious it is not going to be optimized as that. As for comparison with LG G2, One plus one i really doubt your comparison and conclusion.

So what i would say in short, your complaints are more to do with your personal over expectations and hasty conclusion. Nearly all professional reviews on websites have given the camera a decent rating despite all noting the grain issue on low lighting.
[Honor 7 General] onlinejobwork:
The news: If Moto X Style using same IMX sensor and achieve highest quality which put it next to Galaxy in DxO mark rating than why not same sensor acting differently in Honor 7???, I can't believe such a huge potential in hardware but poorly implemented by Huawei software engineers, doesn't matter how capable hardware but without proper programming and coding its worthless, Come on Huawei if it have in with you why don't don't show the world what Honor 7 capable of ?? Even Good programming can better use of mediocare hardware perform better

Of of the biggest doubt as some of the people mention on Chinese forum according to that IMX230 sensor is only on 64 GB version, I don't know if it true but I can't see any official information from Huawei or Honor website or not even mention on UK or Europe version equipped with Sony IMX230 sensor, only user can help or ifixit.com who are famous of tear down devices can tell more about it, what you guys thinking about it ?
[Honor 7 General] s7yler:
We need to wait for UK user experiences, but until then I quote the user piskr here:

What was obvious from the very beginning is, that all models support GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz and 3G 850/900/1900/2100MHz. The other part was hardly clarified due to the confused information from the producer’s side.

Now is pretty sure that besides all models but PLK-L01 support FDD-LTE B1/B3 bands. PLK-L01 (European) reportedly supports FDD-LTE B1/B3/B7/B8/B20 bands, but it is not confirmed yet. All models but PLK-CL00 supports TDD-LTE B38/B39/B40/B41 bands (PLK-CL00 supports only B41 band). Besides models PLK-AL10, PLK-UL00, and PLK-TL01H support TD-SCDMA B34/B39, which are used in China. PLK-AL10 and PLK-CL00 support CDMA 1X&EVDO 800MHz, which is still in use in many countries.

All models have Bluetooth 4.1 with LE, USB 2.0, OTG, IR transmitter, FM radio, tethering, casting, certificates and VPN support, including OVPN. The great news is that LTE is cat. 6 with down max speed 300 Mbs and Bluetooth is low consumption.​

I can confirm no NFC - was told by vMall it did which is why I ordered it and I'm in UK. I'm not sure if it's on 32gb version? I was only able to order the 16gb version. One highlight was it has ir blaster which I didn't expect! Shame about NFC though as that's why I originally ordered the phone.

Sadly i can't open my sim tray anymore, it's stuck.... But thats a problem i have to solve another day :D
[Honor 7 General] spix123:
You could try the method used by people who got sim tray stuck in xiaomi mi3.Probably what has happened is the extra depth from the sim has got stuck on the pins. Do not force it out or you could damage it.

You should be able to move it a bit? Then slide a thin but firm plastic object under the side where the pins are. It will force them down and you can remove the tray.

Backlight bleeding

Huawei phones does suffer sometimes from backlight bleeding.

How is that on the Honor 7 ??

How to test?

Turn your Honor 7 off

Go in a dark room

Turn your Honor 7 on

Do you see a egally black screen or is there al lot of light

bleeding around the sides of the phone.

Please test this for me.

you will definitely need a SD card with this phone should you choose to go ahead as a daily driver.. depending on usage.

is it possible to transfer/move apps and downloaded data to SD card (not referring to Songs, pics etc) when you install any apps is it asking you location to install or you need to manually move to SD card?
[Honor 7 General] brynjolf:
Taking a screenshot of an app won't do much to show backbleeding though... lol.

You have to move it afterwards,I set my default to SDCard but it still stores apps on internal (which is running out of space) by default.
[Honor 7 General] sionyboy:
My wife has had hers for over a week now and so far she seems to be happy with it. From my perspective I'd like to change the DPI as so much space is wasted at the default setting (but I have this gripe with all Android devices) and an equalizer would've been welcome. And I guess the most obvious complaint would be EMUI is a little too ingrained in the OS, I've got the Google Now launcher on there but its still not looking as 'stock' as I'd like. But, it was £210 so.....

Mine should be arriving Monday so I'll get a chance to put it through its paces. Looking forward to retiring my OnePlus One which has been nothing but a pain since Lollipop hit.

Why does this phone have two IMEI

I don't understand.

Why does this phone have two IMEI ?

I thought IMEI is device ID, so why one device have had 2 identities ?
[Honor 7 General] haasgo:
Because of the dual sim capabilities.
[Honor 7 General] EGneets:
Where is space being wasted?

You can change the number of icons on your homescreens to 4x5, 5x4 or 5x5. I have 5x5 which makes more use of the big screen and resolution. You can also change the size of thelettertype.

SIM/SDXC Mod & power options

Hi

Just got my Honor 7 and have 2 Questions before I will be happy!:

1. Can the people who have tried doing the SIM card/sdxc card modification in the second SIM slot can say how easy it was and does it work ok? Any tips for anyone else trying it? I have tried but cannot get the metal bits separated from the plastic surrounding the SIM. Also read that the new 'card' sticks in the tray as it is slightly wider after the glue addition...anyone know a 'thin' good quality glue to use?

2. I travel a lot and want a good quality but small portable power source in case the juice runs out...always had spare batteries before with my Galaxy Note 3! Can anyone recommend one that fits this and will nicely into a pocket?

Thank you all

Because oneplus 2 fast charge is not activated by software though it's supported by chipset i.e Snapdragon 810
[Honor 7 General] jonmorris:
A Quick Charge PSU would offer 5, 9 and/or 12V output. Plenty of chargers are 2/2.1A at 5V so I'd say this is a normal PSU, albeit better than some of the ones you get with a phone (sometimes as low as 500mA - or USB speed).

The Honor 7 16GB model has a setting for fast charging (and says it works better with the phone off, or the screen off) but it doesn't appear to be as quick as other phones that have quick/turbo charging.

However, it's a lot faster than previous Huawei phones.

I bought two Auker Quick Charge 2.0 PSUs from Amazon (£13 each) and I'm happy.

[Honor 7 General] ludovicien:
My impressions after a day's use.

They're mostly negative as it's already pretty clear this is a good phone, especially for the money, and the positives are out there in every review. I'm coming straight from a Nexus 5 and a Oneplus One.

1. The screen's not great. It's not as sharp as the N5 and the colours are a bit garish whatever the screen temperature is set at. I had to dump the wallpaper I've used for a year as the previously-soothing shade of red bugged me.

2. I'm getting worse cell reception than with the N5. This surprised me. One bar on my sofa instead of four.

3. Chrome, Twitter, Google Maps are all pretty choppy. A bit worse than the N5, a lot worse than the opo. I won't notice after a week but it's striking.

4. The audio output through headphones is clean but much lower than the previous phones and less dynamic. The opo was the best sounding phone I've had and I was really annoyed that the touchscreen problems meant it had to go. I sent the G4 straight back because it was too quiet.

5. Lag. It's there, it's not a disaster but it's noticeable after using two quick phones. Processor or Emui? No idea. Again, you get used to these things but it's a slow phone.

6. Charging is very slow. Honor needs to get that proprietary charger out there.

7. 16gb is not enough for a phone anymore. Even if the H7 gets Android 6 and there is full integration of internal and sd memory, surely that means the 2nd SIM will be unusable - you can't just yank out the storage card when you want to use another line if it's sharing with the main memory. I'd have happily paid another €50 for 64gb and nfc.

On the positive side, I have to agree that the fingerprint scanner is excellent. So cool to drop pattern unlock at last. It's VERY quick and accurate. The programmable smart button is brilliant. I live in a very dark, rambling house with pointless landings everywhere and it's great to have the torch on with a squeeze of the thumb.

Emui is a bit of a Betamax: in some ways it's much better than stock, what with all those options, but leaving out the app drawer seems like bloody-mindedness. Anyway, I've dutifully uninstalled/disabled what I can and put the worst bloat in the hidden apps tray. Anything useful goes in the tools folder and the rest is spread over 5 screens, just as I like it. I'm yet to find any acceptable icons in the exhausting themes gallery. There's a theme for young women, there's a theme for Christians (there really is) but no simple lollipop-like option.

You get what you pay for and a bit more, I think. A custom rom like CM or PA would be great but with the new hardware to cope with I won't hold my breath.

Probably a keeper, at least until next Tuesday.

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

According to Honor, they made the European model with a variant of 4G+ not currently used in Europe. And that's unlikely to change during the phone's lifecycle. It's a Cat 6 phone, but only in Asia and South America.
[Honor 7 General] daffyno:
new update b121 arrived....
[Honor 7 General] piskr:
As far as I'm concerned I have the Chinese Honor and I don't feel issues listed above. I never used N5 though but comparing Honor 7 with my previous phones I can conclude that it is better in many characteristics. Screen is sharp and very responsive and reception is among the best I had on 4G. There is no lag at all. Its true that I replaced stock launcher with the custom one, installed custom icons , withdrawn all permissions of useless system apps and frozen them.
[Honor 7 General] ludovicien:
Yes, I'd read that the screen is super-sharp and that cell reception is excellent. Not from what I've seen so far.

One deal breaker I've just discovered This is the only device I've ever had that can't capture WiFi in my bedroom. That means reception is much worse than the Nexus S, 4 and 5, 7 (both versions), all four of our laptops and all four of our internet radios, the earliest of which is 10 years old. That's very disappointing.

It's just a fact that the H7 does not support 4G+ in Europe and won't until an operator combines different frequencies within the same band because that is the system it relies on.
[Honor 7 General] djandrea:
just missing the option to aggregate the 4g + without this option , it is normal for the phone not aggregates bands

The other guy wanted to know why he didn't have 4G+ on his cat 6 phone. I answered his question. The H7 doesn't support the variant of 4G+ used in Europe and as such is not currently a cat 6 phone in that region. I have digital tv on my Cowon music player but that's not much use to me until I go to Korea (or Norway?).
[Honor 7 General] TheUntouchable:

2. On my sofa full bar 4g/wifi same on N5 while Nexus S wifi have only 2 bar.

3. What means choppy about an app.. here not problem

4.Different sound but however good.. but yes N5 is better.

5.Yes sometimes is slow but not laggy is a young device...wait update.

With nova and animation set to 0.5 is good

6. With stock charger in two hours phone is battery full. If use different charger check that is 5V and 2A.. like tablet.

7. You don't read the device info before?however there's 64 gb why don't bought?

Positive side I agree all and for custom rom I hope something different because PA release 2 alpha in 2 year without news CM is the same from Gingerbread the only positive things is CAF for battery life. Lot of best team (PA,AOKP,CARBON ecc) not release nothing with lollipop. Hope and wait.

But about battery life what do you thing better N5... ? [emoji4]

Spoiler content hidden.

I joke is good device and with future update go on top... not destroy.
