Honor's X series is known for bringing high quality at small prices. The Honor 5X from 2015 was part of the early crew of Android smartphones to pack a metal unibody design on a budget. This was followed by the Honor 6X last year, which improved upon its predecessors build quality but kept the price low at $250, just fifty bucks more than the previous handset.
Now, the next device in the series is almost upon us.
Honor has posted a teaser for the new handset on its official Weibo page (via Gear India), revealing that the device will launch on October 11. The teaser poster features the text "Honor 7X: to see the whole world" [translated], and was accompanied by similar wording in the Weibo post ("Want to look farther than ordinary people? Higher? Wider?").
Given that the "bezel-less" display is one of the most recent smartphone trends, it seems likely that the Honor 7X will make use this. Not only is it suggested by the text, but the keen-eyed among you might have already noticed that the teaser image was uploaded in the elongated 2:1 format typical of recent bezel-less smartphones.
The Honor 7X is speculated to house a 5.5-inch full-screen display, with 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, octa-core Kirin 670 chip, 4 GB of RAM and 32 or 64 GB of internal storage space. Note that a 1920 x 1080 resolution is a 16:9 display format, which would be a different approach to the full-screen display, should the rumor pan out.

The handset is also tipped to house a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, USB Type-C support and arrive with Android Nougat. Current pricing speculation puts the 32 GB and 64 GB device possibilities in the region of $220 and $270 respectively.
Honor has certainly piqued our interest with this introduction to the 7X and we're excited to learn more. Delivering the specs above, as well as the possibility of dual cameras like on the Honor 6X, for mid-$250 sounds like a cracking deal. The Xiaomi Mi A1, a recent example of a powerful, low-cost device with a dual-rear camera setup, comes in at around $235, but also includes "large" bezels. Meanwhile, the bezel-less, dual-camera-wielding Sharp Aquos S2 comes in at the equivalent of around $375.
