Attention selfie-lovers! Here's a phone for you: Honor 7i

This is one of the most eccentric devices you have come across this year — the new Honor 7i, by the Chinese company Huawei, where a flippable, selfie ready camera takes center stage.

Beneath the swivel camera's wide-angle, sapphire-protected lens is a 13-megapixel sensor with a 28mm wide-angle crystal lens and f/2.0 aperture. The same pivoting module also features a dual-tone LED flash, ready to go the instant you feel compelled to capture the spontaneity of your selfie-rich life.

Huawei claims the camera hinge is sturdy enough to hold for even the most zealous of selfietakers. According to the company, the mechanism can take at least two years of use, even if you flip it around for 136 selfies a day.

Otherwise, the Honor 7i seems to be a relatively mid-range Android, featuring a 5.2-inch, 1080p screen that's powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 616 processor and offering a choice between 2GB of RAM plus 16GB of storage or 3GB of RAM with 32GB storage.

It does have an aluminium chassis rather than a total ly plastic one, though. The phone is available right now in China only, with prices starting around US$250. No word yet on its global availability.
