Huawei recently introduced Honor 7X in India which, as per the company claims, has been selling well. It’s one of the rare few 18:9 display phones available for under Rs. 15,000 and that’s perhaps its biggest selling point. The hardware Huawei is using is pretty decent but it’s not undercutting the competition outright.
In case you aren’t inclined to buy Huawei’s offering and are exploring other options, here are the best Honor 7X alternatives you could go for in the same budget.
Xiaomi Mi A1
The biggest Honor 7X challenger is Xiaomi’s Mi A1. The handset has a regular 16:9 display panel, but it has quite a few significant advantages over Honor 7X. In a nutshell, it offers a better camera and faster performance.

The Snapdragon 625 octa-core chipset is quite reliable, especially when paired with light Android One software and the dual camera system on the Mi A1 is the perhaps the best one available for under 15k. Furthermore, the handset is delightfully slim, has a good quality full HD display and is now available at discounted price.

Moto G5s Plus
Motorola’s Full metal body handset, the Moto G5s Plus, is a solid and premium phone with a front fingerprint sensor (a rarity these days). The handset is slightly overpriced compared to Honor 7X, but Amazon is offering extra 2000 INR off if you trade your old phone that can still power on.
You can buy Moto G5s Plus for its display quality (even when it’s regular 16:9 panel) and better camera performance (for the single camera). The dual camera performance isn’t remarkable, though.

Samsung Galaxy On Max
If you want to buy a familiar brand, Samsung Galaxy On Max is a well-balanced option which should be particularly enticing to consumers looking for a big display phone.
The handset has a regular 16:9 5.7-inch screen (which is more usable area than on a 6-inch 18:9 display), a front fingerprint sensor, a 32GB built-in storage along with a dedicated card slot, and a 3300mAh battery.
