Recently both companies, Huawei and Honor, have been releasing a number of similar phones. Recently Honor released the Honor 9 Lite, and now Huawei has unraveled the Huawei Enjoy 7S, a successor to last year’s Enjoy 6S. However, both these new phones are quite similar. Priced at roughly Rs. 25,000, let’s see what makes this phone different than the barrage of midrange phones recently.

18:9 display but with bigger bezels than we’d like

The Huawei Enjoy 7S is no stranger to tall 2:1 displays now that we’re at the end of 2017. However, since this is an entry level midranger, there are thick bezels despite the tall screen. Besides the screen, there is the Huawei logo on the bottom bezel and camera and sensors/earpiece on the top one. The screen is a 5.65-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display with a pixel density of 441ppi, exactly like the Honor 9 Lite.

On the back we have the dual camera setup and LED flash with a fingerprint scanner towards the middle of the phone.

3 cameras, not 4

The cameras distribution is 2 and 1. That is 2 on the back and one on the front. The front camera is an 8MP shooter whereas the back one is a 13MP + 2MP one, just like the Honor 9 Lite. Huawei seems like it’s on a mission to be the top dog when it comes to smartphone cameras. That might explain all this regular dual-sensor bombardment.

Compromising Hardware

It’s the hardware where the differentiation between Huawei and Honor’s midrange phones starts to show. While the Honor 9 Lite comes in 3 versions with varying prices, the least spec’d out version of the Enjoy 7S is priced similarly to the 4GB RAM/32GB storage model of the Honor 9 Lite. Needless to say, the Enjoy 7S comes in both 3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB versions. Besides that, we have the same culprits: A Kirin 659 processor, a 3000mAh battery and Android 8.0 Oreo right out of the box.
