If you are looking for a premium flagship-class smartphone, you don't have to shell out a few months' worth of savings any longer. There are plenty of good smartphones now at competitive prices, and among these, the Honor 7 is the phone of choice - offering a complete, balanced experience. Here's exploring it, in more detail.

Before we start, here is a quick look at the spec sheet:

SoC: Kirin 935
RAM: 3GB
Display: 5.2-inch, 1080p
Storage: 16GB
Camera: 20MP, 8MP
Battery: 3100mAh
OS: Android Lollipop v5

The phone has a very robust build, as it features a full metal unibody design. To the left of the phone, it has a smart key. This can give you access to preset apps on single tap and double tap. Long press the key, and you can access Google's voice search, directly.

The Honor 7 has a beautiful 5.2-inch display. It uses a NEO LCD display panel, which offers really good blacks and much better colour saturation than normal LCD displays. The screen-to-body ratio of Honor 7 is 76.7 percent, leading to less bezels and a compact form factor despite the large screen.

At the back, the phone has a fast and responsive fingerprint sensor, which can also be used to access the notification panel, dismiss notifications, take photos, answer calls or turn off alarms.

Above the display, lies the 8MP front facing camera which is aided by a single LED flash. It takes very good selfies in almost every lighting condition, and even take panorama pictures.

At the rear, the Honor 7 features a very capable 20MP rear camera, which takes beautiful pictures. The camera has a scratch-resistant sapphire glass housing, which offers fast focus on phase detection autofocus.
