Ever since smartphones have become a necessity of modern life, rather than a luxury only afforded to a lucky few, the options available to those after a colorful, but tasteful alternative to the black and grey smartphone norms have been extremely limited.
And if you’ve been unable or unwilling to fork out a small fortune on one of the more flagship devices – you are certainly not alone. If that’s you - then the options available for a colorful smartphone have even more limited! Limited, but not non-existent.
Since Honor, the leading Chinese smartphone e-brand’s inception into the handset industry 4 years ago, it has never shied away from releasing phones which not only capture customers’ hearts, but catch their eye as well. Whether it is the Honor 9 with its attention-grabbing classy and glassy Glacier Grey, or the Honor 8 with its metallic Sapphire Blue, Honor is always as bold with its colors and designs as it is with its ambition and vision.
In keeping with this track-record for flamboyant design and flair, Honor has recently announced that a fiery, Red limited edition 7X, will be released in time for Valentine’s Day. What’s more, with a price tag as attractive as the phone itself (only £269.99), you can actually afford to buy that special someone a phone that is as sexy as they are!
A word of warning from us though, you will have to be quick – Honor has stipulated that it will only make 20,000 of these red head-turners available worldwide, meaning that – when you do manage to get your hands on one for that extra special someone this Valentine’s Day, it will go down an absolute storm. After all, who in their right mind would want chocolates, or flowers when they could get a brand new, limited edition slick bezel-less smartphone in the color of love!
If that wasn’t enough to whet your insatiable romantic gift-giving appetite, Honor has also announced two little bonuses that are sure to convert you to gifting gizmos this Valentine’s Day.
Simultaneous to announcing the release of its Red limited edition 7X, Honor also unveiled a new partnership with world renowned headphone manufacturer Monster. This partnership will entail a whole range of perks and bonuses for you to get your teeth into throughout 2018, however in the short term it means that the most nimble-fingered and switched-on among you – the first 100 to be precise – will get a free pair of co-branded Honor-Monster AM-15 headphones thrown in with your already incredible gift.
Further to this, Honor has just announced that the new software update coming in the first quarter of 2018 will make the 7X the first phone priced at under £300 with facial unlock ID features. Not only will this significantly improve your mobile security (and do it in a way that is unquestionably cool), but it will also mean that, for the lazy among us made from the ‘more scroll, less lift’ mould, you can now unlock your 7X without so much as touching it!
Picture the scene: You have the love of your life nestling into your side, you’ve downloaded his or her favourite RomCom – be it a Richard Curtis feel good, or a Notebook-esque tearjerker – onto the Red 7X that you’ve bought for your crush.
The combination of its 6-inch FullView display and the complimentary pair of Monster headphones which, naturally, you ordered in time to receive because you’re no slouch, are as good a match as you two are. You have chosen your favourite date spot and your beau is waiting, peaking eagerly into your bag, and itching to see what you have in store.
If you were to pull out chocolates or flowers now, the disappointment on your other half’s face would be heart-wrenching and the consequences potentially relationship-ending. But instead you settle in to two and a half hours of un-adulterated Colin Firth-filled bliss. What could be better.
