Honor has announced a new Red color variant of the Honor 7x for the exact same price of $199 USD but, that’s literally not where the CES 2018 fun for the device ends. Honor has also announced a global rollout of an OTA Update that’ll add the Face Unlock feature to the device.

Face Unlock is going crazy after Apple’s FaceID implementation & now it has even started to become available in budget devices & the Honor 7x is the latest addition in the list. The OTA update will hit the device within the Q1 of 2018.
The Honor V10 (View 10) also comes with Face Unlock but, it has the Flagship Kirin 970 that features a dedicated NPU for AI. So, we’ll have to see how well the Honor 7x can do with it’s mid-tier SOC after the Feature becomes available.
