According to Chinese media, Honor 7 will come in multiple versions and one of the biggest difference between these models will be the body and the material used. Earlier rumors indicated that the difference could be limited to the specs inside. However, it looks like the low end and high end versions will differ in the design too.

The low end version is said to come with round corners and a metal frame, rather than an all metal body. On the other hand, the high end version will reportedly come in an all metal body.

Also, it is said that the phone will be powered by the latest Kirin processor, most likely to be the Kirin 940 chipset. The performance is expected to be better than the Kirin 930 which uses eight Cortex A53e cores. Kirin 940 will be built on a 20nm process with possible configuration of quad Cortex A53 + Two Cortex A72 cores or quad A53 + two A57 cores. The cores will be clocked at 1.9Ghz to avoid overheating.

Apart from the body and design, there are differences in the specs as well. The low end version is said to come with 3GB RAM and 16GB internal storage while the high end version will come with 4GB and 128GB storage. There will be 16MP OIS camera, 5.2-inch 1080p display and a 3280mAh battery on both the models. Other features include full network connectivity and fingerprint recognition.

While we are still not clear about the pricing of the handset, expect the base model to start at around 1999 Yuan.

Interestingly, Meizu is also expected to release a flagship model probably Meizu MX5 tomorrow. So, stay tuned for more details.

Huawei is going to all lengths to generate buzz in the market about its upcoming Honor 7 flagship. The company already confirmed the launch of the device on June 30, via a teaser poster. The same image even confirmed the presence of a fingerprint sensor on the device.

Now, Huawei has just uploaded a teaser video of the Honor 7 which gives us a glimpse of the device. Of course, you can’t clearly see the handset, but we can still figure out a couple of things about the phone from the video.

First of all, it looks like the Huawei Honor 7 will feature an all metal design, just like we saw on TENAA. In fact, it looks like the phone will take some design pointers from its elder brother, the Huawei P8 which was launched back in April. The overall metal body looks sleek and well built. Even the display seems to come close to the sides.

Overall, from this video, it looks like the phone will sport the same design that we saw on the images from TENAA. As for the specs, it is said that the phone will feature Kirin 935 chip octa-core 64-bit with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage (high-end version) or 3GB RAM and 16GB storage (standard version). The camera will be of 13MP with OIS and there will be a 5-inch full HD panel up front. The battery is expected to be of 3280mAh capacity.

It looks like we will see some more teasers from the company until the launch of the device on June 30.

Meanwhile, you can check out the video from below.

Huawei has always announced major events officially via its Weibo account. Earlier today, the company revealed a new poster which confirms that the Honor 7 flagship is coming on June 30.

The picture shows the number seven written inside a fingerprint. Below, this we see the date, 30th June, which means that the Honor 7 is coming exactly 15 days later. The image of the fingerprint also confirms the recent leaks which said that the phone will feature a rear placed fingerprint recognition.

The company is yet to confirm other features of the device, but it is said that the phone will be powered by the new Kirin 935 octa-core 64-bit chipset. There will be a 13MP camera at the back with OIS and a large 3280mAh battery. As for the display, expect a 5-inch full HD panel up front.

Rumors indicate that there will be two different versions of the device, namely the standard version and the top-end version. The standard version will come with 3GB RAM and 16GB of storage while the top-end version will feature 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage. This move won’t be surprising given that recently, the company has started a tradition of offering two different versions of a flagship model.

Well, since the date is finally official, all we have to do is to wait and watch whether the Honor 7 turns out to be as impressive as the recent leaks have predicted.

We recently saw the Huawei Honor 7 hit TENAA which confirmed the rear placed fingerprint sensor as well as the all metal design. However, TENAA failed to reveal the key specifications of the device.

Now, a new leaked system screenshot of the PLK-AL10 model  (which is the same one that hit TENAA) reveals a few more details about the phone’s specifications. The model is running on the new Kirin 935 chipset which is the same one that powers the high-end version of the Huawei P8. As for memory, there is 4GB RAM on board and 64GB of internal storage.

This information confirms some of the leaked specifications of the device. So, there will most likely be two versions, one running 3GB RAM and 16GB storage while the other with 4GB and 64GB of memory. The leaked screenshot turns out to be of the high-end version. There will be a full HD display (screen size expected to be around 5-inches) and the phone will run on the Android 5.1 Lollipop version. Fingerprint recognition is also almost confirmed on the device.

As for the pricing, it is said that the low-end version will start at 1999 Yuan ($322) while the high-end version will retail for around 2499 Yuan ($400). Expect the Honor 7 flagship to be launched this month itself, sometime around June 24.

Huawei was said to release its update to the Honor series this month. And looks like the rumors were bang on target as earlier today, Huawei unveiled a brand new teaser for the launch of a new Honor product on June 8. Given that its almost a year since we saw the Huawei Honor 6 smartphone, its more than likely that we will see the successor of the popular Honor 6, namely, the Honor 7 on that day.

The teaser comes with a famous quote from Albert Einstein, “Imagination is Everything”. Unfortunately, apart from the blue spiral shaped image and the above mentioned tagline, the company has not yet revealed anything about the features of the device.

However, like always, we have already seen possible specs and images of the device, thanks to the numerous leaks online. Recent leaks have revealed that Honor 7 will feature a 5-inch full HD display with Kirin 935 processor. There will be two different versions of the device, one high-end and the other low-end.

Both feature Kirin 935 chipset but will differ in terms of memory capacity. The high-end version comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage while the low-end model features 3GB RAM and 16GB storage. Other possible specs include a 3280mAh battery, 13MP camera with OIS, and Android 5.1 Lollipop version. There could be fingerprint sensor too, but at the moment, we are not sure of that.

As for the built, the Honor 7 is expected to come with a metal body similar to the Mate 7 design. This will be a deviation from the traditional plastic design of the Honor series flagships.

Anyways, we expect a lot more information to come up in the next few days, so stay tuned!

The post Teaser Confirms Honor 7 Launch On June 8 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei just unveiled its brand new flagship in the premium P series lineup, the Huawei P8. But, if the company follows the usual schedule of releasing handset, then we should see a another flagship in the Honor lineup pretty soon, around June.

Looks like we have just received the first of images and information of the Huawei Honor 7 flagship. This phone will reportedly succeed the current affordable Honor 6 smartphone.

One of the highlights of the pictures leaked is the fingerprint sensor at the back. Yes, you can clearly see the fingerprint sensor on the top rear portion of the device. And we can also see that the back is made out of metal, which will be a deviation from the current plastic built of the Honor 6.

The metal built and the fingerprint sensor actually makes the phone look like the successor of Mate 7. But you can see the honor branding behind it, which gives away its identity. On top, you can also see the camera sensor along with the dual LED flash besides it.

The Honor 7 is expected to feature a 5.5-inch full HD display, just like the Honor 6 Plus. Huawei’s own Kirin 930/  935 chip will power the device, with built-in 3GB of RAM and 16GB storage. It runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop, along with Huawei’s own EMUI on top.

Interestingly, today, we saw another set of images which claim to be the new Huawei flagship. The phone has a different design than what we saw above, and there’s no fingerprint sensor. However, the dual camera sensor that we saw on the Honor 6 Plus makes a comeback on the device. So, this could be a different smartphone than the one leaked earlier.

UPDATE: The device shown above with the fingerprint sensor is said to be the Honor 7 Plus and the one below is the Honor 7.

However, we still don’t know which one is real. Both could be fake, or just one could be true. So, its best to wait to get some concrete information about the device before making conclusions.
