In our review of the best mid-range phablets We already saw that Huawei's Nova 2 Plus was a much more expensive option than the last of Samsung, but the Chinese company has in the catalog of its low-cost brand a more affordable option, and with even more interesting features in its most recent Premium version, as we will see in this comparative: Galaxy J7 2017 vs Honor 6X.
Integrated
To begin with, you already know that despite being a low-cost brand in the range Honor We never lack the metal casing and this particular phablet, even in its standard version, also has a fingerprint reader (yours is located on the back, since there is no home button on the front). The choice is pending, therefore, more of our aesthetic preferences than anything else.
Dimensions
In fact, one point in favor of the design of the Honor 6X We have it in the dimensions section, where we can see that it is more compact (15,25x7,48 inch against 15,09x7,62 inch) and also lighter (181 grams against 162 grams). Where he does have an advantage Galaxy J7 2017 It is in thickness, although it is minimal and can go unnoticed with the naked eye.
Screen
As usually happens in comparisons between mid-range phablets, the screen section is one of the most even, since unlike what happens in the high-end with the plus version, the premium version of the Honor 6X is the same size as the standard, and stays in the 5.5 inches usual, such as Galaxy J7 2017. The two also arrive with Full HD resolution (1920 x 1080) and therefore a pixel density of PPI 401. The only thing that tips the balance a little on the side of the Samsung is that it uses Super AMOLED panels.
Performance
In the performance section, we find that the two mount mid-range processors, but that of the Honor 6X is a little more powerfulExynos 7870 eight core to 1,6 GHz against Kirin 655 eight core to 2,1 GHz). One of the points where the premium version does improve on the standard phablet of Huawei it's in RAM, which gives you the win at this point too (3 GB against 4 GB). A small advantage of the Galaxy J7 2017 is that it comes out of the box with Android Nougat.
Storage capacity
This is the section in which the Honor 6X, especially in its premium version, has a wider advantage, since the Galaxy J7 2017 it stays in 16 GB internal memory while the other reaches the 64 GB. Both have a card slot micro-SD, in any case, which will help us to gain space in case of external form if the phablet of Samsung It will be a bit short for us.
Cameras
The situation is more balanced in the cameras section, and rather than giving a winner, it must be said that each one has their own claims: in the case of the Galaxy J7 2017 It is above all its front camera of 13 MP, as the main one, and the large aperture of both (f / 1.7), while the Honor 6X may appeal to fans of dual cameras (12 + 2 MP), although for selfies it stays a bit shorter (8 MP).
Autonomy
In the section on autonomy, it is necessary to give an unmitigated victory to the Galaxy J7 2017, which already has an advantage in terms of battery capacity (3600 mAh against 3440 mAh), which helps to compensate for its somewhat greater weight, and which is confirmed as the winner in independent tests (our reference, as usual, are those of gsmarena), where their 108 hours autonomy (of moderate use, obviously) remains for the moment practically unbeaten among other devices in its range (the Honor 6X it stays in 84 hours).
Galaxy J7 2017 vs Honor 6X (Premium): final balance of the comparison and price
Although the Honor 6X In its standard version, it does have a significant price difference with the Galaxy J7 2017, especially considering that it is a phablet launched more than half a year ago and has fallen in price, the premium version is much closer, although how much exactly depends on the color, because some are more reduced than others: the phablet of Samsung has been launched by $340, while Huawei's was launched by $320, but can be found by between 270 and 300 euros on Amazon.
Leaving aside the preferences of each when it comes to cameras, the great advantage of the Honor 6X Premium, even more than having 1 GB more of RAM, it is probably offering us 64 GB of storage capacity, but if this is not such an important factor for us, the Galaxy J7 2017 it will offer us exceptional autonomy.
