This model has a 5.2-inch Full HD display (1920 х 1080 p). This should ensure high enough image detail – approximately 424ppi. Additionally, the phone uses an IPS panel which means more saturated and pleasant colors. You won’t be disappointed by viewing angles either.

It is capable of producing great macro shots, and also has a rich menu with many options and settings. As far as video recording is concerned, it can record Full HD footage. Selfie fans will be happy with the front 8MP Sony/Hynix camera with an f/2.2 aperture.

Huawei Honor 7 Lite uses a Kirin 650 mobile CPU. The latter is manufactured through a 16nm FinFET Plus technological process and features eight Cortex-A53 cores. The first four are ticking at 1.7 GHz, and the second two 2.00 GHz. According to the manufacturer, the chip ensures 65% increase in performance and 40% lower energy consumption over its predecessor – Kirin 620.

As far as RAM is concerned – you get 2 GB, and the internal storage is 16 GB but you can expand via the microSD card slot (supports up to 256 GB).

Not only the good specs, but also the phone’s design is important. Honor 7 Lite is pretty stylish and it uses aluminum alloy for its construction. Also present is a scratch-resistant finish. Additionally, the phone is only 8.3 mm thick and weighs 156 grams.

3000mAh battery, Android 6.0 Marshmallow and two SIM cards

Honor 7 Lite’s battery is 3000mAh, which sounds promising, although there is no particular info about its durability. Huawei, on the other hand, emphasizes on the importance of special energy saving technology and the aforementioned energy efficient chip.

The smartphone runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow whose improvements accompanied by Huawei’s UI – EMUI 4.1. The latter features layout changes of menus and apps, as well as a long list of many new useful functions.
