Huawei Honor 7X crams in a huge display measuring 5.93 inches diagonally. The thin bezels to the left and right makes it more appealing. With an 18:9 aspect ratio, content viewing should be awesome, when you also consider the 1,080 x 2,160 pixel resolution. There is an unspecified version of Corning Gorilla Glass on the front.
Camera
