6 Best features of the HONOR X7d

1. 360-degree drop-proof - Just like HONOR's latest X-series devices, the X7d boasts a 5 Star premium drop resistance rating from SGS. The phone maker ensured that the device would survive those accidental falls or drops.

Drop-resistant body

HONOR explained that its impact resistance was improved by 25 percent, while the frame deformation risk was reduced by 15 percent, thus providing all-around protection. 

2. All-angle splash resistance - Among its highlights is the IP65 rating. HONOR says this device is built to handle splashes, spills, and even water dips.

The display

It can resist 24 hours of rain, while there's also a wet-hand touch enhancement allowing you to still use the screen during such conditions.

Furthermore, it can also resist sand, dust, or dirt, making it ideal for your everyday grind outside.

3. Massive storage on a budget - While current entry-level phones have sufficient storage nowadays, the HONOR X7d breaks its limits by having a whopping 512GB of storage.

Its competitors are limited to 128GB or 256GB, but this phone will give you more space so that you can have enough to store your files, music, videos, and games.

But if you need a more affordable option, you can always choose the 256GB model.

4. Large 2-day battery - You are going to be pleased with its MASSIVE 6,500mAh battery capacity. This means you can have more power to use and have some left in the tank for the next day.

The phone's intelligent power management, on top of a highly efficient chip, will ensure you'll have long standby times by drawing less power, making it a reliable main or backup phone for your whole day's work or classes

The cameras

5. High-resolution AI camera - The HONOR X7d features a 108MP main shooter, so you can still take quality photos wherever you go. It is also backed by a 2MP depth sensor to achieve background blur for your subject.

Meanwhile, the device is also powered by AI, allowing users to AI Erase, AI outpainting, and AI Eyes Open to improve their productivity or simply achieve the desired output for their shots.
