Honor X7c

The Honor X7c has a conventional, non-folding design with dimensions of 166.9 mm in height, 76.8 mm in width, and a thickness of 8.1 mm, keeping the overall volume at around 103.83 cm³. It weighs 196 g, which is fairly typical for a device of this screen size. On the durability side, it carries an IP64 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and splashing water from any direction, though it does not feature a fully rugged build.

The Honor X7c uses an IPS LCD touchscreen measuring 6.77″, with a resolution of 720 x 1610 px and a pixel density of 261 ppi. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which contributes to smoother on-screen motion during everyday interactions. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, as well as an Always-On Display mode or a secondary screen.

The Honor X7c is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 4G, a 6 nm chipset with an octa-core CPU configuration running four cores at 2.8 GHz and four at 1.9 GHz across 8 threads, with integrated LTE and big.LITTLE technology. It is paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM at 2133 MHz and 256GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, with a maximum supported memory amount of 16GB and a peak memory bandwidth of 17 GB/s. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 610 GPU clocked at 1260 MHz, supporting DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. In benchmarks, the chipset scores 366,695 on AnTuTu, 1510 and 473 on Geekbench 6 multi- and single-core respectively, and 1787 and 442 on Geekbench 5. The platform also supports 64-bit processing, NX bit, and TrustZone for hardware-level security.

The Honor X7c features a dual-lens rear camera system led by a 108 MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, accompanied by a 2 MP secondary lens at f/2.4, though there is no optical zoom or optical image stabilization. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps, with support for slow-motion capture, while HDR10 recording and Dolby Vision recording are not available. Autofocus options include phase-detection autofocus for photos, continuous autofocus during video, and touch autofocus, but laser autofocus is absent. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while manual shutter speed is not supported; additional shooting modes include burst, panorama, and timelapse. The single LED flash has no dual-tone or RGB capability, and there is no front-facing flash. On the front, an 8 MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture handles selfies, operating as a single-lens setup without an under-display placement. Neither the front nor rear camera supports RAW output, 360-degree panorama, or 3D photo and video recording.

The Honor X7c runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering location access, camera and microphone permissions, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not present. On the customization side, the OS supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications, while focus modes and app offloading are not available. Productivity features include split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. On-device machine learning is supported alongside offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, phone tracking, multi-user support, a child lock, extra dim mode, and a battery health check. Wi-Fi password sharing and Quick Start are absent, and the device does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor, nor can it function as a PC.

The Honor X7c is equipped with a 6000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 35W fast charging, helping to reduce time spent tethered to a cable. A battery level indicator is included, keeping users informed of remaining charge at a glance. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Honor X7c includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack for wired listening and features stereo speakers for built-in audio output. However, it does not support any high-resolution or enhanced Bluetooth audio codecs, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC, and there is no built-in radio.

The Honor X7c supports Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5, and NFC, with a USB Type-C port running on USB 2.0, while 5G is not available — the device operates on LTE only. It accommodates two SIM cards and delivers download speeds of up to 390 MBits/s and upload speeds of up to 150 MBits/s. Location capabilities include GPS, Galileo, and a compass, and the onboard sensors cover an accelerometer and a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication; a gyroscope, barometer, heart rate monitor, infrared sensor, and iris scanner are all absent. The device does not support 3D facial recognition, ANT+, DLNA, HDMI output, satellite SOS, crash detection, motion or optical tracking, and no stylus is included.

The Honor X7c includes a video light, which can be used to illuminate subjects during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
