Huawei unveils the Honor 7X with a Kirin 659 SoC and a 5.93 FullView display

Following the release of the Mate 10, Huawei is taking some time to introduce the latest mid-range device from its Honor subbrand, the 7X. Honor puts out some great bang-for-your-buck phones, like the 6X earlier this year, so the 7X is likely to follow a similar path.
 
Here are the specs:
 
Display    5.93" 2160x1080 18:9
 
CPU           Kirin 659
 
RAM           4GB
 
Storage                     32GB/64GB
 
Cameras    16MP+2MP rear, 8MP front
 
Battery       3,340mAh
 
Colors         Black, blue, gold
 
The announcement materials did not specify which Android version this is running, but I'd guess it's Nougat under EMUI 5.1. Since this is a Huawei phone, a lot of the focus is on the camera performance, both front and rear. The latter is touted as having clear nighttime performance, advanced depth-of-field effects, a portrait mode, and the ability to help you to "realize your dream to be a professional photographer."
 
Huawei is also proud of how durable the 7X is, claiming that all four corners have extra reinforcement to withstand impact. But the protection efforts don't stop there. See, the SoC will keep the battery (which itself is "self-protecting") from overheating by preventing over-voltage and over-current, thanks in part to the "protected USB connection."
