Huawei Honor 7 is a worthy mid-range device

Huawei introduced the Honor 7 handset this summer in China, but the company didn’t offer it outside the borders of the country. Still, this week, the Chinese device maker has announced the availability of the metal-clad phone in Europe where it will be available for €350 / $394.

The handset has been made available in the Netherlands, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Finland and Spain, but more European territories might be getting it soon enough.

Still, EU customers won’t be able to get the Golden color option, which is available only in China, so if you’re interested in picking up the Honor 7 on the old continent, you’ll have to choose between Mystery Gray and Fantasy Silver instead.

The phone is making a debut on the market with a 5.2-inch display with 1080p resolution (1080 x 1920 pixels) and a 64-bit octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 935 processor clocked at 2.2GHz breathing life under the hood.

Huawei also throws in 3GB of RAM, 16GB of internal storage (expandable via microSD card slot) and a 20MP rear camera with Sony’s new IMX230 sensor, phase detection autofocus system, in combination with an 8MP selfie shooter up in front.

The deivce relies on a decent 3,100 mAh battery to live and runs Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, don’t you think?
