My Honor 7x is not recognizing up some available Wi-Fi networks. When I try to add them manual, it won't identify. Any suggestions?
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] kent_geek:
The 7X only has 2.4 Ghz WiFi. If you mean it doesn't see all the networks you see from other systems, it's likely the missing networks are 5 Ghz.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] XDARoni:
WiFi signal is great on the 7x. As the user mentioned above, the 5Ghz bands are not supported.

[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Rajeev:
Fantastic results.. Getting amazing signal strength.. Tested with my friend's MI A1. 7x signal is better while in A1 got very low signal strength. Same network.. Very Happy with my new 7x
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] XDARoni:
Very impressive signal strength for such a budget phone.

Speakers are really nice on this phone. Honor sis a great job making them nice and loud without much distortion.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] sid21:
Honor made a phone with impressive phone with great build quality at such price range without any doubt.

Hands on to Honor
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Rajeev:
Coming from Samsung galaxy S7 Edge and LG v20 ( sold all flagship phones because of family issues ) i can say i am in love with this phone. Really nice display. Crisp and sharp. Good battery life with normal usage. Overall very happy with Honor 7X :)
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] chaitanyaarige:
I got this mobile recently. I am in love with this mobile. Camera is great and overall smooth performance. Battery has power saving mode for running more than 30 hours, with full charge

[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] leaffan99:
Came from a Nexus 6P of two years and I love this phone!!

Love how easy EMUI theming is and I can make it look like stock android if I want to all without rooting and without the slowness that I found substratum can cause.

Easily getting 5+ hours of SOT on a daily basis; and only time I've noticed any sort of lag is when I haven't used the phone while sleeping; it unlocks quickly via fingerprint but the first app i open takes a second longer to open then its back to it's snappy self.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] badmark:
Love it! Thing is a beast!
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] AsItLies:
Joined the crowd today with the Mate SE, WOW! What a Great Phone!

Sure, it's not a flagship, but it feels like one! and if it does most of what you *really* need, with such a great price, It's astounding really. I've spent some time Mate SE vs MI A1. It's subjective of course, but the SE has all the US bands, bottom line, if I'm out in the boonies, I want the best odds of being able to make that call.

Have been using it for an hour and did app updates, map downloads, etc. Hasn't heated up at all, cool as could be. Very Happy with this choice! :)
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] tompika72:
Just got this phone cuz my Galaxy Note broke, and i needed something ASAP. Although i didn´t expect too much from a phone in this price range, I´m still bothered by the mediocre camera, and a poor display with horrible view angles. I´ll keep it for a bit, the build quality seems decent, but that´s all.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] BiggDipper:
Just got it 2 weeks ago. Good bye all other budget phones. It rocks
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] forgotenxlegacyx:
My Galaxy S7 committed suicide about three weeks ago and still having payments on it and trying to get out of AT&T without having to get into more payments this was an AMAZING choice. does everything i need it too and some. works way better than my S7 IMO, One week of use and i love it!
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] XxRaVeNxX:
I wish I had heard of this company before buying all these second hand Samung/Motorola phones through craigslist just to save money, when I can buy a comparable phone brand new for a price that is cheaper. This phone is just an improved version of the Honor 7X.

My review is based off replacing a Samsung Note 4 and my work phone is a Galaxy S7.

Battery:

The battery life is superb on this. Seeing how my Note 4 had all this bloatware and these Samsung extras out of the box. The Note 4 couldn't even last through out the day with constant usage. This phone lasts through out the day, set it down without charging it for the night and it still has power.

Battery life is about the same as the S7, though.

Design:

Doesn't feel like a cheap, cricket phone. Feels like it has some weight, some heft to it. I am also impressed by the fingerprint technology on the back of the handset. It is much better and responsive then what the Galaxy S7 has. I never had to 'retry' my fingerprint as if it didn't register it.

Communications:

Haven't noticed any difference in terms of call quality or signal. Yet, my carrier is AT&T. The only concern is that the phone doesn't support 5G Wi-Fi.

Camera.

Unless something was wrong with my Samsung Note 4, this camera is much better than the Note, but similar to what the S7 has, or maybe even less.

Display:

I can't tell if this is part of the android or part of Huawei, but there are animations in the display which are interesting. From where you can see the display brightness slider move automatically to where texts seem to 'bounce' when you scroll through them. There is little bloatware and I like the drawer design of the apps. Screen is also bigger than my Note 4.

Also some people state the charging cable is different, yet my cord that charges my samsung phones can charge this phone.

At the end of the day, this phone can do everything a $1,200 phone can do.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] veerusayz1:
Just bought new one from amazon, I will give my review very soon.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] JShan:
I've had it since the day after Prime Day. Love it. My only complaint is some of the bloatware. I also find the organizations of Settings in EMUI somewhat annoying. (It's like 4 clicks to get to the screen where you can choose a new wifi network.) Overall, this is a great phone and an incredible value.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] XxRaVeNxX:
Phone still going strong. My only major issue is that GPS is horrible with this phone. From Waze to Google Maps, the signal isn't consistent and drops when it comes to GPS. Never experienced anything like this, and it's been like this day one.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] drunkle:
Great cpu performance. great battery life.

Poor audio output. Volume boosting apps don't work.

Rooting was easy, reverting... still need to wade through that.

Screen replacement wasn't too difficult, cheap (and cheap quality) parts on ebay. BEWARE! The battery pack is a gel pack that's glued on to the chassis. I ripped the battery open trying to remove it and had to order a new one.

The chassis is FLIMSY. After disassembling the phone to replace the screen, I saw that 1. the back cover is a flimsy bit of plastin (plastic or tin) and 2. the main chassis itself is a weak and flimsy bit of cast pot metal. This phone will bend and break very easily, which is what I suspect caused the screen to break so easily.

Overall, great performer, the sound issue may be addressed with newer Android, the chassis is in need of serious reinforcement.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] XDARoni:
The Honor 7X was one of the best budget phones of it's time. For under $200, this phone is a really great deal.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] sid21:
Haven't seen any developers around but fingers crossed
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Rajeev:
Its a new released phone. May be in future we hope some good developments for this mobile

[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] YashR1999:
Before using honor 7x , i m on Redmi 3s (Land ) , Yureka(Tomato ) both phones Have awesome development ! i hope Honor7x (Bond ) have better development ?
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Mamoun14:
The upcoming treble support makes this phone the currently cheapest phone with that, which is incredibly good!
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] XDARoni:
If you're looking for a development-friendly phone, Honor is not the solution for you. We do have a program where we give out bootloader unlock codes to a select number of people every once in a while, but there is no official support for unlocking your bootloader. This results is a very small development community.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] optionalmgrr.la:
yes indeed, the day huawei decided to stop offering bootloader unlock codes has killed all huawei/honor custom development

what we still have now for development friendly phones? besides google pixel? nokia? samsung? oneplus?
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] sid21:
No Problem with any performance and flies with the usage
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Rajeev:
Fantastic. Superb performance in this price range. Sometimes small lags is there but thats only if i applied any heavy modded themes. If we use stock themes no issues for me. Overall very happy with the speed. Never got any delay in any apps. Superb....

[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Hakeem5:
My 3gb USA model gets me from day to day operations but suffers from severe freezing/lag at random times while browsing the web or viewing social media. I barely see any forums mentioning similar behavior so I'm starting to think I need to factory reset or I have a defective unit
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] joho5:
Mine does this. Will basically freeze and not let me do anything. Does it often. I guess I will reset and see what happens.

Love the phone but can't handle the lag.

I'm stumped by people that say it's fast with no issues.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Hakeem5:
Yeah I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when I see people saying the speed is fine with minimal lag. That what leads me to think we may have defective units. With the Honor 6x I've seen people say that a factory reset fixed their issues.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] joho5:
Much better after factory reset. Slows still from time to time but no just stand still freezes. Bearable. I want this phone with these features with flagship internals though still. Thinking the view 10 may fit that when it comes to US.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Hakeem5:
OK thanks for the update, I will reset mine this weekend and will also be anticipating the View 10, especially if the price is right.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Akshaypg0533014257:
ya

ya i am also facing the same problem when i am using third party application it shows gray button to install and i am not able to instal the app
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] badmark:
Better performance.

I've found that disabling many of the Honor and EMUI apps (via Package Disabler or other methods) has made a huge difference in speed as well as battery life personally.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] topnomi:
I've also experienced seemingly random slowdowns. Facebook seems to trigger it alot. clearing open apps speeds it back up.

Interestingly, it seems like it could be a ram issue, but i've never seen less than 1gb free ram, usually about 1.4gb free

I'll try disabling the emui/huawei apps to see if that helps.

I can't wait for oreo and project treble, then i can run regular aosp based without the emui bs.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] brian Marshall:
They probably post after only using it a few days. Mine was fine at first. After about a week sometimes it would freeze, especially if I'd recently used facebook and chrome the keyboard would struggle. I'd need to either wait or kill a few apps and it would go back to being okay.

The stock camera software has a lot of features, but it is waaaaaay to slow.

I needed a new phone, but we had a lot of expenses last year and so I bought something cheap. It's not terrible. I'll be happy to get a year out of it.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] leortez:
Ive had this phones less than a month and I have experienced the lag while using some social media apps and the camera has been slow beyond any other devices I've had before... I had the February security update after one day of use, after noticing the continuous lag I booted into recovery and cleared the cache, seems like that has helped to avoid the lag so far. Maybe others can go ahead and try that, see if it also helps!
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] blasbenoit:
You might have a screen dimmer

If you have a screen dimmer installed disable it every time you will install an apk becauise android wont let you do systems stuff with it on.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] jmoss1972:
I have experienced no lag or issues whatsoever, I've had the phone going on a month.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] blasbenoit:
Have the 3GB version from US

I have some lag too, i ussually remove the apps from the drawer to make it fast again. When you use any torrent app you cant do almost anything else that draws too much ram....i think is a software issue because i had played some mobas and they dont show me any lag on it, unless i have another powerfull app in the drawer.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] brian Marshall:
Often it's fine, but after switching apps it can get slow. Keyboard lag can be painful and the camera app sometimes takes over a minute to open and be fully functional.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] sanjaybaidya:
I have ordered this phone.(indian version 4-32 variant). How will be the performance guys. Do you gyus recommend this phone? Or should I cancel this order??

(I don't use my phone for heavy gaming, i do heavy multitasking and occasionally play games like clash royale, and i need 1 day battery life with 5+ hrs of screen on time)
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] Mamoun14:
Any Oreo beta tester can say what their impression of the phone performance with the New update?
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] melott:
Add me to the catalog of people with 3gb versions that experience random lag & freezing, especially when switching apps.

The camera app is UNBELIEVABLY slow sometimes. Like, up to a minute before it becomes functional, then you click the button to take a picture and it takes 10 seconds to snap it. Imagine asking someone to take a photo for you, handing your phone to them then just having them stand there for 2 minutes while it loads.

I might try a factory reset because I'm getting tired of restarting the phone twice a day to have it be at a good speed. Has that helped anyone else?

I really can't get over the camera app..
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] ahmedli1234:
Hey
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] joho5:
So I sold my 7x a while back and grabbed the Mate SE to give it another go with the additional ram. I loved the phone, hated the hang-ups and slow downs, freezes, etc.

Well this one I have, Mate SE, runs much much much better...pretty snappy and never any significant slow downs. Maybe a few choppy moments, but it catches back up and its fine. Id say 95 percent of the time it snaps around without hesitation.

Is this just solely from the additional gigabyte of ram?
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] zengqcan:
performance

Who is using Honor 7X? How is the experience with it?
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] brian Marshall:
I just got the OREO update yesterday and things are much better.

Previously I had a 2013 Moto X, which had been slow for a long time, but not as slow as the 7x was getting at times. Really the moto went bye bye because it wouldn't hold a charge and didn't seem worth repairing.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] wierdman33:
really good

really good sometimes it freezes but i found away around that by turn the device on and off or clear the memory.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] ry_t:
How is the Honor 7x nowadays?I had it for about two weeks and returned it because of the hiccups/slowdowns.How is it with the Oreo update?
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] lesterp:
Fast enough

It's fast enough on Oreo. Turn off animation and kill running apps occasionally and it's fine. It's a $200 phone. Flagships performed like this 2 years ago, we've come a long way.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] ry_t:
Thanks.I might have to pick up this phone again and give it a try.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] chamala2000:
I love this phone besides the WIFI issue when Bluetooth is running, than WIFI becomes unusable.

They didn't advertised that due to the hardware limitations don't use both functions at once. Class Action Lawsuit lol
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] alek889:
If you buy the 3gb ram version it will lag like hell.but if you can get the 4 gigabyte RAM version you will know why this phone was the number one seller in the 2017.wifi-bridge,superfast fingerprint,water/dust resistant,face unlock,8p front/selfie camera, software support much better than Samsung,HTC or LG and a beautiful red version (the one i got of course).I cant believe i can get all of this( and a lot more features)for $155.00(ebay).
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] XDARoni:
The speed is about as good as you can get for a sub-$200 phone.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] w20grippy:
It's still smooth on stock os.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] XDARoni:
App launch speed on the Honor 7X is really fast. This has always been an area where Honor does really well on their budget phones.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] XDARoni:
The performance from my 4GB RAM model of the Honor 7X is very good. Apps launch super fast and multitasking is very good.

i tried to goto boot loader but all in vein.

Tried holding camera button and putting usb cable noth9ing. tried holding camera and communication button and pressing power on button, nothing. any help or time to trash it away?
[HTC Hurricane] lazaj007:
i think that you broke bootloader. if it is only white screen (nothing else) or doesn't want to switch on, give them to service.
[HTC Hurricane] fuffyk:
what do u mean by service?

like right now it just wont turn on. just as if the battery is dead but my battery was fully charged when i did the process.....

where can i give it for service? thanks for your help.

ps. By the way its a brand new sda too never used it :(
[HTC Hurricane] GnatGoSplat:
It's bricked. There's no (practical) way to fix it other than to replace the motherboard.

If it's under warranty, then try to get it replaced. If not, time to sell it on eBay for parts or you can PM me if you want to sell it for cheap because mine could use a new housing and keypad.

If You Have Heat...

A Little Advice.. :cool:

If you do indeed have heat while charging with the OEM charger or light gaming.. and you are still within your 15 return / replace policy ( at least that's what it is when you purchase from the Honor U.S.A. website ) you need to swap out your unit or get your refund.

Heat is ALWAYS an early precursor to a shorter than normal lifespan.

If you are ok with this, or plan to sell the 7X in lieu of something else later this year.. then it's not that big of a deal.

For those that plan to make this a 1 to 2 year device.. and you can still return / exchange it.. I would advise that you do so.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] optionalmgrr.la:
All phones heat up these days. Especially during charge or heavy use. All said honor 7x don't heat up much.
[Honor 7X  Real Life Review] erdn3zi:
