The Honor 7A is the latest smartphone to take on the incredibly popular and lucrative sub Rs. 10,000 segment. Pitched as a direct competitor to Xiaomi's Redmi 5, the Honor 7A manages to deliver even more hardware at a similar price point. Interested in buying a new phone? We've put together a quick comparison to help you make up your mind.
The first thing that you notice when you see a phone is, of course, the display. The Honor 7A ships with a 5.7 inch 18:9 FullView Display which is the same size as the screen on the Redmi 5. Both the screens look good but the one on the Honor 7A is a bit more saturated which makes colors really pop. While the size is more or less the same, we felt that the Honor 7A feels just a bit better in the hand. The slightly better ergonomics and the way it fits in the palm puts it just a step ahead of the Redmi 5.
There are other big changes too with the Honor 7A. The phone employs a dual camera array at the back which pairs a 13MP camera with a 2MP secondary camera that is used to sense depth. ...
