The Chinese phone maker is getting ready to launch their newest model, the Huawei Honor 7i which will probably revolutionize your selfies with its flippable camera. Instagram is about to get flooded by even more selfie pictures with the release of Huawei’s latest model.
Already nicknamed one of the most eccentric devices of this year, Huawei Honor 7i boasts a 13 mega pixel sensor that has a 28 mm wide-angle sapphire crystal lens and also a f/2.0 aperture. Here’s what makes everyone bite their fingernails in excitement over this phone: the dual tone LED flash is ready to go at all times when you feel like snapping a pic.
While we still remember how previous swivel camera concepts have gone bad in the past, we’re ready to be amazed by Huawei. Another cool feature is its fingerprint reader which also doubles as a camera button. You can find it on the left side of the Huawei Honor 7i and all you have to do to take a selfie is touch it. It really doesn’t get easier than this.
Ok, we’re in love with the idea, but we’re still a bit skeptical. Exactly how sturdy are the twirly parts? According to Huawei, they were designed to take at least two years of use, assuming you flip it around each day for 136 photos. The Chinese phone manufacturer seems to have created the ideal device for the fiercest selfie takers out there.
To prove its sturdiness, Huawei went ahead and carried out an experiment. They fixed a glass pane on three of Huawei Honor 7i flippable cameras and asked three girls to step on the glass pane. The seemingly indestructible selfie periscopes managed to withhold the weight of the three demonstrators, amounting to 140 kg. If this doesn’t make you buy the device, Huawei doesn’t know what else to do.
Huawei Honor 7i has a 5.2 inch 1080p screen which is fueled by an octa-core Snapdragon 616 processor. If you want this fierce selfie device, you’ll be able to choose between 2Gb of RAM and 16 GB of storage or 3Gb of RAM with 32Gb storage.
Ready to ditch your selfie stick? Huawei’s device will support dual SIM standby through a hybrid SIM slot. The a Li-Polymer 3,100mAh battery ensures 11 hours of talking time and promises to last up to 400 hours on standby.
At the moment, Huawei Honor 7i is only available in China and can be yours starting from 250$. World wide pre orders have already started, with device shipments scheduled to begin at the beginning of September.
