HONOR X5c Plus recap

HONOR X5c Plus display

According to HONOR, the new HONOR X5c Plus is a budget device boasting 3-day battery life due to its 5,260mAh battery and the software optimizations built around its "power-efficient" MTK Helio G81 processor and the 6.74-inch TFT LCD panel with Dynamic Dimming and Eye Comfort mode. From its predecessor, the charging speed is up from 10W to Type-C 15W as well.

Design-wise, the phone has a boxy yet slim body available in Ocean Cyan and Midnight Black colors at just 7.89mm. It is also not that heavy at 186 grams.

HONOR claims that the handset also has an AI-assisted 50MP f/1.8 main shooter assisted by a QVGA camera. For selfies, it uses a 5MP shooter.

The company said that its AI Object Recognition keeps subjects sharp by removing background distractions, while AI Photo Sharpness Enhancement delivers crisp results—even for text-heavy documents. 

The phone runs with Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0 kin.

We're excited to introduce the HONOR X5c Plus to the Philippine market — a smartphone that brings exceptional battery life, reliable performance, and value-for-money features to everyday users. And we are as proud to partner with Shopee Philippines in bringing this new phone closer to our customers nationwide, said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng.
