Huawei Honor 7A, 7C unlock your phone fast, for cheap

The Honor 7A and Honor 7C are two budget phones from Huawei's Honor brand, aimed at cost-conscious buyers or people looking for a starter phone that can handle the basics.

The 6-inch Honor 7C is the more expensive phone of the duo, but it'll only set you back £170 (or about $240, AU$310).

Despite the modest price, the Honor phones come equipped with quick facial recognition the company claims is faster than Apple's iPhone X -- be forewarned, it may not be secure enough for mobile payments.

Although the Honor's facial recognition doesn't use a 3D depth sensing camera like the iPhone X, it maps out your face with 1,024 different points of interest.

This is all thanks to the 8-megapixel front camera.

Huawei claims that the Honor 7C is the most affordable dual camera phone in the world, packing a 13-megapixel and 2-megapixel shooter on the back.

On the back you'll also find a rear fingerprint scanner.

And unlike some other phones on the market, the Honor 7C and 7A come with headphone jacks.

The Honor 7C is powered by a Snapdragon 450 chip with 3GB of RAM.

It runs Android's 8.0 Oreo operating system.

At £140 (about $200, AU$255) the Honor 7A is a little bit cheaper than the 7C.

Some of the main differences are that the 7A comes with a slightly smaller 5.7-inch screen...

...Only one 13-megapixel camera on the back...

...And a Snapdragon 430 processor with only 2GB of RAM.
