Design and Build
The HONOR X7b has a stylish, narrow bezel, therefore very modern and attractive. It is designed with a reflecting pattern on the back cover and comes in two colours: Silver Breeze and emerald green, due to which any consumer's taste will be satisfied.
With 8.24mm thick and 199g heavy, HONOR X7b looks like a phablet of smaller than average size. The device does not obtain any certification against either splashes or being waterproof, so there is less protection coming for it. On the right side of the device is a fingerprint reader that doubles as a power button for the most convenient and secure unlocking of the phone.

Screen and Display Quality
The HONOR X7b comes with a TFT 6.8-inch display and 1,80 by 2,412 pixels for a good view of content with good details. It features a 388density screen that brings nice clarity and sharpness.
However, the TFT panel technology is still responsible for viewing angles that are less than optimal, with some loss of brightness and color strength in side vision. The other downside can be that the 850-nit maximum brightness can still be restricting when outdoors. However, it's an indoor display that is overly bright.
One of the key features of the display is the 90Hz refresh rate that enhances smooth and fluid movements of the display, hence improving the general experience of the user. On the other hand, it provides good visual rest modes and reading modes for comfortable use in scenarios that are needed.
That will give the acceptable visuals, especially looked at from the front, where the screen might look like it's missing the piercing colors of AMOLED technology. This device also has a wireless screen projection option, a mirror-like projection feature, for smooth connecting and sharing of content on other screens. On a general note, the display quality of the HONOR X7b can be said to be mid-range, while the resolution and size together with the refresh rates fare fairly well in giving the viewer the best picture quality as possible.

Generally, the sound output as well as the quality of audio from the HONOR X7b is pretty okay but nothing extraordinary. It delivers a commendable level of auditory experience for its users, mostly when they put on their headphone with matching Bluetooth audio codecs.
Battery and Charging
A 5,330mAh battery unit will be the source of power in keeping the HONOR X7b alive. It is enough juice to take you through your daily operations. But then, real battery life performance depends on usage patterns.

Power saving mode will further extend the battery life, and the inbuilt smart charging facility slows down the charging process when left overnight plugged to enable it to hold the long-term battery lifespan.
The device, therefore, is also accompanied by a 35W charger, which means it allows for quick charging capability. In tests, it managed to fill the device in about 81 minutes, therefore quite a convenient and efficient charging speed.
On the other side, HONOR X7b has intelligent capacity battery management, giving the proper use of battery for the longevity of the battery. This ensures that the battery never attains 100% of its full capacity, thus being able to live longer.
