With Valentine’s Day around the corner, Huawei’s sister brand Honor has launched a new colour variant of the Honor 7X in India. The Honor 7X Limited Edition Red comes with a Red coloured back, which is the current trend for various smartphone brands. This colour variant will also be exclusive to Amazon India and costs Rs 12,999. While Honor India is yet to reveal the availability of the smartphone, Amazon has already kicked off the registrations for the new colour option. Also, it’s unknown whether the new colour option will be available in the 64GB variant.

The Honor 7X was well-received by the audience, in fact, we were impressed with the smartphone’s build and design, but the only letdown is the software optimisation. We often faced lags and app crashes on the device. The Honor 7X replaced the much popular Honor 6X smartphone in India. To recall, Honor announced this Limited Edition Red variant of the 7X at the CES 2018 event last month and said that it would be available in major countries before Valentine’s Day.
Honor recently confirmed that it started manufacturing the Honor 7X in India in Chennai. We’re not sure whether the new colour variant is manufactured in India or not. So Honor is now working under Indian Government’s Digital India initiative.
