The mid-range smartphone comes with really narrow bezels up front. The Honor 7i has a 5.5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The smartphone comes with a fingerprint sensor on its side which is something new for a device.  The fingerprint sensor works even with wet fingers and doubles up as a camera shutter too. The sensor further learns automatically based upon your usage.

The device comes with a metallic frame. The device gets a 13-megapixel flip camera with a 180-degree rotation which lets you take pictures on the front as well as the rear. It runs Android 5.1 Lollipop based Emotion UI 3.1. Let us quickly take a look at its specifications:
