Honor has launched a new red colour variant of its Honor 7x smartphone. Called the Red Limited Edition, the device is priced at Rs 12,999. The phone will be sold via Amazon India, but the date of availability is not yet known. Currently, the phone is available in Blue, Black and Gold colours.
Specification-wise, the new Red Edition should be identical to the standard Honor 7X smartphone. To recall, the smartphone was launched in India back in December last year and offers a 5.93-inch display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and an aspect ratio of 18:9. The phone is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 659 SoC and offers a dual-rear camera setup with 16MP+2MP cameras. At the back is a single 8MP camera. The phone is available in two variants, one with 3GB RAM/32GB storage and another with 4GB RAM/64GB storage. The phone was launched with EMUI 5.1, which is based on Android Nougat. However, Honor has announced that it would roll out the Oreo-based EMIUI 8 update for the phone.

A few days ago, Honor announced that it was going to start manufacturing the smartphone in India. The company has partnered with Flex for the manufacturing of the smartphones in India and it would be produced at the latter’s plant in Sriperumbudur, near Chennai. It should be noted that the Honor 7X is not the first smartphone that the company manufacturers in India. That Honour goes to the Honor Holly 3.
