Engadget UK giveaway: Win a 'Pacific Rim' edition Honor 7X
Giant mind-controlled robots fighting even bigger inter-dimensional alien monsters is a tale as old as time, and what better way to show your appreciation for the unashamedly action-packed plot of the Pacific Rim franchise than with a physical totem? Thanks to our friends at Honor, this week we're giving away a special edition Honor 7X created to celebrate the recent theatrical release of Pacific Rim Uprising. There are only ten of these devices in existence, and we've got one to send the way of a lucky UK-based reader. Head to the Rafflecopter widget below to enter this week's competition up to three times -- after you've given the rules a quick look beforehand, of course.
Honor's mid-range 7X with 18:9 display is now on sale for $200
Honor spilled the proverbial beans on its new mid-range 7X smartphone a few weeks back, but kept mum on pricing and availability at the time. As expected, it was saving that piece of the puzzle to announce at its London event today. In the US, the Honor 7X is now available to pre-order for $200 for mid-December delivery, which makes the £270 UK and €300 European prices (shipping immediately in some territories) seem downright unfair, even if they're more or less what you'd typically pay for a mid-range handset. While it doesn't break the bank in any region, you have to remember the phone lacks a few features some might consider essential, like waterproofing, fast-charging and NFC for mobile payments. What you are primarily paying for, then, is the slim-bezeled, 5.93-inch, 18:9 display with a 2,160 x 1,080, so your interest in the device will no doubt be entirely dependent on what features you consider a priority.
Honor’s 7X is a big, unremarkable mid-range phone
It's no wonder Huawei's been the third-biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world for so long now. The company releases so many of the things, it's hard to keep track. Following Huawei's recent launch of the Mate 10, it's now sub-brand Honor's turn to welcome a new device to its ranks: the Honor 7X. It's designed to succeed the now year-old 6X, which offered dual-camera tricks at a mid-range price. The 7X has a key selling point of its own too, in the form of a big ol' 5.93-inch "FullView" display.
