Huawei Honor 7i with 13MP flip cameran Snapdragon 616 announced

Huawei is one of China's biggest smartphone OEMs and has been doing really well this year as far as smartphone sales go. They have managed to increase their profit and have released several high-end devices recently. Said that, the company was working on a handset which had an interesting camera on the back. The same device was certified  by Chinese regulatory agency TENAA.

Now, Huawei has announced the Honor 7i in Beijing, China. The phone has a metal frame and is 7.8mm thick around the waist.
