Honor 7x Amazon Prime Version Rootable? - Honor 7X Questions & Answers

Honor 7x Amazon Prime Version Rootable?
I ask this question because I'm choosing between two phones: The Moto G5 Plus and the Honor 7x. I was reading the root situation with the Moto and comments were saying you couldn't root the Amazon version. So, I didn't want to make that mistake of getting an Honor 7x and having an unrootable phone if I get that particular phone. I'm leaning more towards the Moto due to its video recording qualities, but I wouldn't mind taking the Honor instead if the video camera was/is better on it.

There is no "Prime" version of the Honor 7x. The phone you buy on Amazon is identical to the phone you would get if you bought directly through Honor's website. They are identical.

Should i wait for honor 7x?

Hi, i'm looking forward to buy the honor 6x, but should i wait for the 7x announcement? How would i wait the phone to be released in my country (italy) with the national warranty? And, i found the 32 gb version at 200 and the 64 one at 230, do you think the 7x will be around the same price? I mean, not above 250.
thanks a lot
If you want a little bit faster of a phone, go for the 7x. But if you want a phone with room support already then go with 6x. Also if 7x has oleophobic and hydrophobic coating then I would go for 7x because 6x doesn't and 6x's glass is weak.

I want a "future proof" phone, and 6x was nice, but looking at the upcoming devices it maybe can be wise to wait. ..How about the price?
Go for 7x if it comes with full vision display otherwise go for mi a1 or moto g5s plus

I would say you should wait for it.
better to wait and you may get something new in 7X.
Of course. Bigger aspect ratio, better SOC, I would also expect better battery.

Don't think they will launch 7x in this price as if they do, they will ruin the sell of 6x which is still under a year from its launch globally. (Launched on 3rd January).
And 6X is selling in high in global market with some boom in India due to one or the other discounts on Amazon and Flipkart due to festive season. It was on 50% discount on honor store.
By launching 7X in this price, they wont ruin the honor 6x sell. There will be atleast, atleast $30-50 USD difference for sure. And you know, the out of the box OS is almost perfect for the phone because it is tested and optimise for the phones and the application installed so Nougat on 7x will be much better than 6X and then nobody will buy 6x.
Sale kinda this..so definitely not the same price for 6x and 7x as 6x is still their most selling phone in mid range.

So i would advise you go with 6x or if you can add atleast 30-40 USD extra anytime then can wait for 7X

What is the model of the sensor to Honor 7X?

Looked at "Honor 7X Specs and Pics Leaked by DrGreenway" characteristics. Information about the model of the sensor is missing. Have Honor 6x on the main camera is the Sony sensor IMX386. And what is the sensor here?

Hi! I'm planning to buy the Honor 7x when it arrives in my country. However, I want to know first if it already supports Camera2 Api out of the box? I only plan to buy it because of the camera and I want shutter speeds of at least 20 seconds.
I don't know how to root phones so I'm using the phones as it is.
Thank you!

Reviews of the phone on YouTube say that the camera has a f / 2.2. This is very little, I was hoping for f / 2.0. I think that this phone is not worth buying for the camera.
As the other user above asked, does this phone support camera2 API?

oneplus 5t or huawei mate 10 pro

mate 10 pro is $799 but also free $150 gift card
better camera than oneplus 5t
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
I think this is a price thing, if you don't care about the money you can choose the "little" better huawei...
but if you are not keen on amoled screens, I think the mate 10 without pro is the better choice.
Buy the 5T not because someone on XDA in the 5T forum says so but because Huawei is a really crappy company! Huawei already abandoned the Honor 8 that came out last year with great specs, they said in can't handle Oreo which is a blatant lie! They would rather sell you a new phone which I'm sure a lot would rather do but geez have some class!

While I don't disagree, your reasoning isn't exactly fair. Honor is a budget brand and similarly priced devices released around the same time also do not have Oreo
Not that the Honor 8 didn't get Oreo yet, it's NOT getting it! Huawei said the Honor 8 can't handle Oreo basically which is a lie. The Honor 8 has better specs than several phones running 8.0, and its not a budget handset by any measure.
I was in the same dilemma
the camera I'd say is better on the OnePlus 5t simply because it is smarter what I mean that there isn't auto hdr on the mate yes the hardware is better and more reliable on the mate but I just hate EMIUI
the selfie on the mate is a complete garbage on of the worst the oneplus's selfie is better
the software experience on the oneplus is far better which is the most important thing to me
the EMIUI is like 2 years old with the same crappiness which I can't live with
the htc 10 which was launched in 2016 along with 3/3t and galaxy s7 all are tipped to get oreo update unlike huawei
also the development community in the huawei is very weak so you can't even depend on that after official support ends
camera on the mate 10 isnt great. more oil paintings, bit like the 5T.
battery will be better though, updates about the sames as 5t and if you're in the uk can can get the mate 10 pro from carphone warehouse for £529 at the mo!
I like the specs of Huawei / Honor phones, but hate their EMIUI. Had one phone with it and it was just so horrible ugly and bloated.
Almost pure Android is much better.
Well... If you are willing to pay $800+ I'd suggest you to wait for Samsung S9. Huawei appeared out of nowhere and started selling phones for the high price just because specs are good on a paper. I personally have OnePlus 5T 8gig variant and I am satisfied with what I got for under $600. I can't say if camera is better or worse than Huawei mate 10 Pro but 5T does the job for me and higher mpx dont always mean better camera. Buy 5T and I am sure you wont regret but it is always your personal choice. We can tell you anything here.

without $150 gift card I won't think about huawei,btw just order 8gb 5t will get it tomorrow. I had oneplus one for 3 years,love oneplus.[emoji4]
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
ive had both
cant go wrong with either both are good
if you are keen on development then get the oneplus 5T as the mate 10 pro is a pain in the royal behind to download and flash things
I've had most Android devices. I go through them like water. The mate 10 pro was great hardware, but software made it unbearable for me. I've been using my red OP 5t for a few weeks now. I really love it especially with the Oreo update and gestures. I'm gonna stick with it as my DD until the S9+
After reading this thread im going to have nightmares about update.apps and software install failed. I will never spend another penny on a Huawei product....most finicky devices known to man.
Oh yea, get the 5T :good:

Question Can we install Global Rom on Chinese version?

If I buy the chinese version of Honot Magic 4 Ultimate (Or Honor Magic 4 Pro Plus), will I be able to install Global Rom in it?
I am not sure if Bootloader unlocking/ rooting are possible on this device yet.
The better question:
Can we install play store without the hassle of magic pro 3?
The chinese version already comes with Play store, so that is not an issue.
But I want to be able to install the Global ROM on the Chinese phone, I am not sure if that is possible yet.

Are you sure? Chinese vendors are saying that it doesn't come with it.
i saw a lot of videos where on the magic 4 pro there was google installed on it. i bought the ultimate yesterday, can't wait to have it in my hands. hoping with google, but if not there are some workarounds like on the huawei p50 pro
found this maybe it works on ultimate https://www.techyloud.com/how-to-install-google-play-store-on-honor-magic4-lite/

From what I understand, the problem is this:
Honor phones that are released in China (Chinese variants) don't have GMS pre installed and it's nearly impossible to install them. Why? Because apparently those China models for some reason still use some HUAWEI code in the software!
A reviewer from China - Michael Elsegood, said the following regarding GMS installation on chinese phones:
"Most Chinese brands you are able to install but because of Honors use of Huawei’s code it still doesn’t work here in China unfortunately"
video here
Global variants are different, they come with Google services pre installed.
But what global Honor phones are there? Honor Magic 3/3 Pro? Nope. Magic 3 Pro Plus? Nope. Honor Magic 4 Pro? No, still not out yet in Europe and there's not even an official release date. As of right now, we only have the crappy mid rangers and low end phones such as Honor Magic 4 Lite and Honor 50.
I'm pretty sure the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate will be CHINA EXCLUSIVE, meaning no Google services... Sure the UNOFFICIAL WORKAROUNDS to install google MAY still work, but there's no certainty... It's a big risk to buy such an expensive phone. Just my thoughts.
And yeah, some tech reviewers uploaded hands-on videos on YouTube with the international (non-China) model of the Magic4 Pro, and that's why it had Google apps and Google Play Store visible on the home screen.
I'm by no means an expert on the matter, just sharing my observations from everything I've read.
well, it is like it is, had the p50 pro global, and used only gspace or chinese ourplay. but found a lot of alternatives that work great. my other thing is, i'm scaried that other launchers can't be installed. now i bought the phone already but i had an older honor phone with chinese firmware and i couldn't install an other launcher. that was a big bummer for me

Yes, many Chinese manufacturers make it impossible to change the stock launcher so I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case.
According to Honor UK, the Magic 4 Pro and other devices are coming on May 12th. No idea about other countries. And there is no word on the Magic 4 Ultimate, so it's most likely gonna be kept for China only.

Some updates
1. OurPlay : initial installation didn't work, contacted their customer service and they were great. It's working. I can't for some reason install Chrome.
2. Gspace : doesn't work, same error message as i shared earlier, contacted their customer service, zero response.
I have been patiently waiting like everyone else for magic pro 4/ultimate to come out in the UK. I was told that they will be released for pre order tomorrow on the honor website site here in the UK. Only includes the Cyan/black colours. Also something else which kinda pissed me off was that they are only releasing a 256gb and 8GB ram version. Not even a 512gb/12gb ram version at the moment. Im trying to replace my Huawei p30Pro which has the same ram and hard disk space. Seems kinda stupid really, you think if it was a flagship they would release the high ends.
Also I did try to also speak to the guys on ebay selling the 512gb ones in hong kong, they said they cant install as global version ROM on the phone yet. i don't fancy using G space etc, had enough issues with it on my huawei tablet, in the end I sold it
tried gspace and some apps work, like tinder, dazn and gmail, all other apps don't work, but i don't necessary need them. For youtube i use vanced and it works grat. The unique app i can't get to work is netflix. Does someone has a solution?
