The upcoming Honor 7A leaked yesterday with its tall
screen and dual rear cameras, but its expected unveiling this Friday isn't
going to pan out. That's because Huawei's online-first sub-brand has just sent
out invites for the phone's official introduction, which will instead happen on
April 2 - that's next Monday.
The invite confirms the main dual camera setup, and
it also hints at dual speakers and support for Face Unlock. The phone pictured
in yesterday's leak was surprisingly devoid of any fingerprint scanning
solution, so you're probably going to put the face identifying biometric
authentication to good use.
The Honor 7A should be powered by the Snapdragon 430
chipset, just like the Y7 Prime 2018 that was announced today. Its screen
resolution is identical too at 1,440x720, but the 7A's panel is smaller at
5.7". The two share the RAM and storage configuration as well: you get 3GB
of the former and 32GB of the latter.
The similarities continue with what seems to be an
identical dual camera setup on the back, boasting 13 MP + 2 MP resolution, the
8 MP selfie snapper, and finally the battery capacity is the same too: 3,000
mAh. The Honor 7A will run Android 8.0 with EMUI 8.0 - yes, just like the Y7
Prime 2018.
The Honor 7A will cost CNY 1,499, which is around US$ 238 or € 192. Its dimensions are 152.4 x 73 x 7.8 mm, and it tips the scales at
150g.
