Hotwav Hyper 7 Pro Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

HOTWAV Hyper 7 Pro - another great rugged smartphone

Inexpensive phones with water protection according to IP68 standards have undergone significant changes this year. If the appearance of such devices still raises questions, then in terms of performance, functionality and photo capabilities, they have significantly advanced. The hero of today's review fully proves this statement and is capable of becoming a reliable mobile assistant for hundreds of thousands of satisfied customers.

The design of the new product, of course, is far from ideal. It is difficult not to notice both the large display frames and the impressive thickness of the case. They try to distract from the indicated shortcomings with an unusual block of photo modules, an additional 1.45-inch screen on a leather-style back panel (necessary to display the time, notifications, help with shooting and other operations), a side fingerprint scanner. They did not save on the main IPS display with a diagonal of more than six and a half inches. Good for the applied technology maximum brightness of 600+ nits, modern refresh rate of 120 Hz, optimal resolution FullHD+ and well-calibrated color rendering leave positive impressions about the IPS panel.

Technical characteristics are also pleasing. The MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor, unlike the previously used always and everywhere Helio G99, supports 5G and scores more than 550,000 points in the AnTuTu benchmark. Of course, such results would be impossible to obtain without 16 GB of RAM and the Mali G68MC4 video core. The Android 14 interface is lag-free, resource-intensive games are more than functional on the device. True, Genshin Impact or Zenless Zone Zero will still require noticeable reductions in graphic presets. As for autonomy, you will have to remember about the existence of sockets once every 3-4 days thanks to the 10800 mAh battery. But fast charging at 33W is still weak for such a battery. 100% capacity from zero will be gained in about four hours. 256 GB of permanent memory is allocated, a slot for MicroSD cards is present.

A 200-megapixel sensor from Samsung and a 24-megapixel monochrome night vision module are responsible for photographic capabilities. There is no hybrid stabilization, but the technological main camera tries to make detailed evening shots, although sometimes the frames are full of noise. Stereo sound was not found, but the only speaker of an impressive diameter produces loud and voluminous sound. The developer also did not forget about contactless NFC payments. As a result, we have a productive, durable and long-lasting device with good cameras, which is also available for reasonable money.
