Honor 7S

Honor 7S review: Yes, it's very cheap but are the sacrifices made to keep that price down actually worth it, or should you spend more?

Low price ; Solid screen ; Fairly sllim and light

Very poor performance

The Honor 7S runs Android 8.1 and has Huawei’s EMUI interface. At the time of review, this is the latest major version of Android, and the interface is similar to that of Huawei and Honor’s more expensive phones.

Honor 7S review

A super-cheap phone where the cuts go too deep

Very low price ; Big, bright display ; Camera needs the right conditions

Awful performance ; Ugly EMUI ; No fingerprint scanner

With solid build quality and a decent screen, the Honor 7S appears to be a bargain. However, poor performance and the lack of a fingerprint scanner reveal a budget phone that makes too many compromises.

Honor 7S review: A super-cheap Android phone, now even cheaper

One of the cheapest Android Oreo phones we've seen, but the camera's pretty awful and the whole thing's painfully slow

Good battery life ; 18:9 display

Frustratingly slow ; Shocking camera ; No fingerprint reader

The Honor 7S is so cheap that it’s tempting to forgive its faults – but they’re simply too big to overlook. The sluggish performance is a constant annoyance, and I wouldn’t be happy carrying such a poor camera around with me.
