Huawei' sub-brand Honor has already set the launch date for Honor 7X as October 11. But before the launch event, the Honor 7X gets certified by Chinese regulatory site TENAA, and the certification also revealed key specifications of the smartphone. Specs suggested by TENAA are similar to the Honor 9i smartphone launched in India recently.

As per the TENAA listing, the Honor 7X will sport a 5.93-inch FHD+ display with a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels and 2.5D curved glass on top.

Coming to the camera setup, the Honor 7X, as per TENAA will have a 16MP rear camera with LED flash along with a secondary 2MP camera to add depth to the images.
