Honor 7S and 7A smartphones make landfall in PH

After unveiling the flagship Honor 10 and making the Honor 7x available on Lazada, Chinese smartphone brand Honor is amplifying its local presence by bringing two new additions to its growing roster of affordable handsets: the Honor 7S and the Honor 7A.

Featuring a 5.45-inch FullView HD display with 18:9 aspect ratio, the Honor 7S is powered by a MediaTek MT6739 quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB onboard storage. The handset also comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel shooter on the front. Running on Android 8.0 OS with EMUI 8.0, the 7S is juiced up by a 3020mAh battery. Another special feature of the phone is Loud Voice Call which allows users to hear phone calls amid a noisy environment.

Meanwhile, the Honor 7A arrives with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 octa-core processor clocked at 1.4GHz with same RAM and ROM combination. The phone carries a 13-megapixel rear camera, but steps up the front with an 8-megapixel shooter. On the audio front, the 7A features Party Mode wherein up to nine smartphones can connect together via Wi-Fi and play music simultaneously. For security, the 7A comes with Face Unlock and fingerprint scanning features. Sharing the same OS and UI with its sibling, the Honor 7A is powered by a 3000mAh battery. Both Honor models are equipped with a 3-in-1 slot (two SIM cards and one microSD).

Making the deal sweeter for the Honor 7A, Honor Philippines Country Director Wang Yan announced that the phone will be available at a discounted price (from PhP 6,990 to PhP 5,990) through a flash sale at Shopee happening on July 14 and 30.
