Comparison: Honor 7 vs Xiaomi Mi 4i

Honor’s latest flagship smartphone offering of 2015 came out as the Honor 7. Unlike the rest of the “flagship” lot, the Honor 7 has a smaller, more ergonomic design. Additionally, the all-metal unibody design of the phone not only gives it a premium look, but also incorporates a fast and accurate fingerprint sensor at the back. It features a world class SoC, the Kirin 935. This new octa-core SoC is developed by Huawei itself, and performs at par with other flagship smartphones which cost more than 40k in the Indian smartphone market. The 5.2-inch Full HD display is vibrant, and offers one of the best viewing experiences you can get from a smartphone. It uses a new kind of LCD technology – the IPS NEO LCD panel. Developed by Japan Display, this LCD offers darker blacks, lower power consumption, and a more natural colour gamut. The Honor 7 features a very good rear camera as well. The 20MP rear sensor is capable of taking really good pictures. And, if you like taking selfies, the front-facing 8MP camera is coupled with an LED flash, which will enable you take selfies even in low light situations.
