The Honor 7i Has A Camera That Rotates For Better Selfies

A cool concept that gives you better selfies

The selfie wars are heating up – Huawei’s Honor sub-brand has officially unveiled the 7i, which takes an unusual path to better selfies via a rear camera that flips to the front. Yup, the Honor 7i’s rear 13-megapixel camera has a hinge that allows it to rotate to the front (flash and all) that gives users an edge over its non-roteable brethren. Aside from getting a higher quality front camera, the hinged design also cuts down on the bezel size on front of the phone.

The Honor 7i uses a metal frame and interestingly, uses a new type of fingerprint scanner on the side that’s a fraction of the size of regular fingprint scanners. Huawei says that the fingerprint sensor works even if your hands are sweaty, and promises that the scanner unlocks the phone faster than previous iterations of the tech.

Internally, the Honor 7i uses Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 616 octa-core processor (that’s not a typo), with four cores clocked at 1.5GHz and four cores at 1.2GHz, paired with an Adreno 405 GPU.
