<p>Huawei impresses us again. This time, with a smaller, elegant handset, that’s priced competitively at Rs 23k. Hassan M Kamal gives it a workout</p>

Design: The Honor 7 is a looker. Available in grey and silver, the smartphone has a strong build with a metallic uni-body design. It has a non-removable aluminium body (with plastic parts on the top and bottom) that adds a premium touch to the phone, though prone to scratches. There’s no branding in the front, whereas, the back cover gets an embossed Honor logo. There are no home screen buttons, but there are power and volume rockers on the right, and a smart key on the left edge (similar to what we saw in the OnePlus 2). This key can be configured to launch three applications of choice via three modes — single press, double press and press and hold. We configured the double press to recording app, and were able to launch the recorder without unlocking the screen. However, it didn’t work with the camera app.
