The device is powered by HiSilicon Kirin 659 chipset paired with Mali-T830 MP2 GPU. Considering the optics, the device has dual rear (16 + 2MP) camera sensor and the front side is surrounded by an 8MP shooter to capture selfies.
The Honor 7X smartphone runs on Android 7.0 with company’s custom EMUI 5.1. It has 3,340 mAh battery with traditional micro USB 2.0 port.
