HONOR 7, THE PLEASANT SURPRISE OF 2015
Formalized the end of June, the Honor 7, it is somewhat the good surprise of the year, the flagship killer expected all. Why? Simply because the latter combines similar technical characteristics of those of a high-end design ultra premium for a price lower than the competition two times.
We loved its design in aluminium and we have also been conquered by his camera. A photo sensor Sony IMX230 of 21 Megapixels to the very fast and very accurate time thanks to its phase detection autofocus. Quality is at the rendezvous, and that's rather significant. A smartphone that has a big, including its display IPS Neo of 5.2 inches including the quality still bluffing in this price range.
And then there is also small, like the fingerprint reader or Emotion UI 3 user interface based on Android Lollipop or the multifunction button that reinforces the ergonomics of the camera. In short, a real success.
