The rear panel is made of Kuljama metal but plastic is used in the top and bottom.

Colors are vibrant, viewing angles are also fine but the screen does not appear clear in the outside and the display becomes refundable. The first party apps on the 18: 9 display work well and due to EMUI 8.0, third party apps do not fit into aspect ratio.
Honor 7C Performance, Software and Battery Life
Talking about the performance, Honor 7C worked well in common use. However, when used fiercely, the phone started getting stuck. There was a complaint about the phone being stuck occasionally when several apps were run in the background simultaneously. We had to face the speculation of keyboard and UI anemples during the review.
Snapdragon 450 has been used well in Xiaomi Redmi 5. We were surprised that Honor 7C had problems with the same processor. If you come to a positive aspect, Honor 7C is not hot. Despite playing heavy games, there was no complaint in it. ESFALT 8 Slightly stuck at the time of loading but everything was smooth while playing the game.
Honor 7C supports face reconstructions. For this, an 8 -megapixel front camera is used. It works well. Support in better light is excellent but it disappoints in low light or direct sunlight.
Honor 7C runs on Huawei’s EMUI 8 custom scan, which is given on the top of Android 8.0. EMUI has improved much more improved than in the past years. Now it has become more diverse and comes with many work features. However, EMUI 8.0 has a complaint of lag and many unwanted apps are also present. The phone comes with a 5 gameloft game and will have many apps such as UC browser, messenger, Netflix and TruColor.
Battery life is good, but it cannot be called fantastic. Honor 7C lasted 10 hours 40 minutes in our video loop test. The phone runs throughout the day in common use. Charger was required around 10 pm. The smartphone does not support quick charging and takes more than two and a half hours for the full charge from the dedicated charger.
Honor 7C Cameras
The back of Honor 7C has a dual camera setup, in which the user will get a 13 -megapixel primary and a 2 -megapixel second sensor. The front camera is 8 megapixels, equipped with fixed focus snapper and F 2.2 aperture.
The cameras are average. Photos taken during the day look good in the phone’s display. But there is a shortage of details to look closely. In our experience, pictures taken at night came to blurred. The noise was very high. The video also recorded average quality. There was also a lack of details in them. There was also a complaint of focus shifting.
You will also get wide aperture mode. There are 7 levels to blur. Blur effect is not accurate and the edge detection is also poor. The 8 -megapixel selfie shooter takes good pictures in better light. But the photos become noy in low light. Beauty mode is already active while taking selfies. But the photos look artificial.
Decision
The look of Honor 7C is sleek, build quality is good, many work features are also available. The battery life is good and the display will also have to be praised. But EMUI is slow and many unwanted apps have been given. The performance of the front and rear camera is very average.
If you are thinking about buying this phone, then you can also consider Reality 1, which does not have a fingerprint sensor but is much better in other aspects. At the same time, Redmi Note 5 is a more value for money phone. The price of Honor 7C is placed close to the Honor 9 Lite, which has a high resolution delivery, better camera and sleek glass body.
