Huawei is one of the largest smartphone manufacturers in China and the new announcement confirms the company's success in the Mainland.

According to Huawei, its latest Android smartphone, the Honor 7 has achieved an outstanding amount of 9 million pre-orders only a week after launch.

This is a major milestone for Huawei's Honor band, which is now recognized in China as one of the most popular lineup of smartphones.

The achievement makes the Honor 7 the first smartphone in this series to generate the highest demand in such as short time.

Huawei also mentioned that Honor 7 will be launched in Europe as well, but an exact release date has been confirmed yet. We also don't know whether or not the phone will be available in North America anytime soon.

For the time being, customers in China are the only ones that can buy the Honor 7 for $320 (16GB model) or $400 (64GB model). But here is what you get for the price you pay.

The specs

First of all, Huawei Honor 7 is powered by Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system right out of the box, along with Emotion UI 3.1 on top.

The high-end Android smartphone is equipped with a HiSilicon Kirin 935 octa-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz, which is complemented by a Mali-T628 graphics processing unit and 3GB of RAM.

The device comes packed with either 16GB or 64GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 128GB via microSD card slot.

Huawei Honor 7 sports a 5.2-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution. It also comes with a 20-megapixel main camera with phase detection autofocus, dual-LED flash and video recording, as well as secondary 8-megapixel camera in the front.

The Honor 7 offers both 4G LTE and dual-SIM support, but keep in mind that the microSD memory card will use one of the SIM slots.
