Honor releases the X60i and it looks like a decoration piece

Just a few weeks ago Honor launched its high-end folding phones — Magic V3 and Magic Vs3, which are effectively the top two thinnest foldables. Now the company is back launching new offerings in the midrange space and their latest offering does not look any less flashy. Let’s talk about the Honor X60i in further detail while also discussing its potential price in Nepal.

Honor X60i Overview

Design and Display

As I mentioned earlier, the design of the Honor X60i is very flashy. It has marble-like patterns across its back panel. This reigns true for the Coral Purple, Cloud Blue, and Moon Shadow White colours. Meanwhile, for the folks who like it plain and simple, there is the Magic Night Black option with a monotone finish. The camera bump on the phone looks like a play button and has an LED light enclosed by a crystal ring. It is also IP64 dust and water-resistant.

On the front, the Honor X60i has a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel that stretches FHD+ in resolution. Additionally, it can reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, has a refresh rate of 90Hz, and a PWM dimming of 3,240Hz. The screen is reinforced by deep-tempered glass with thrice the strength of the glass featured on the Honor X50i.

Performance

The MediaTek Dimensity 6080 sit on the driver’s seat of the Honor X60i. This processor comes with a 6nm fabrication, eight cores, and a peak clock speed of 2.4GHz. It is further assisted by Mali-G57 MC2 which handles the graphical loadwork.

The Honor X60i is available in three configurations altogether. The base model has an 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. A one-step higher model swaps out the 8GB memory for a 12GB one. Likewise, the most powerful variant doubles the storage capacity as well. Meanwhile, the phone boots on MagicOS 8.0 based on Android 14.

Camera and the rest

Camera-wise, the phone has three shooters altogether. The primary camera on the Honor X60i is a 50MP one which is coupled with a 2MP depth sensor. On the front, it houses an 8MP selfie unit. Despite having only one camera up front, the phone has gone with a centre-aligned pill-shaped cutout. It utilises the cutout for Smart Capsules which is Apple’s Dynamic Island-esque feature.

In the tank, the Honor X60i packs a 5,000 mAh battery that supports 35W wired fast charging. It supports dual SIM 5G network as well as WiFi 5 and Bluetooth v5.1 for wireless connectivity. In the meantime, the wired connections are handled by a single USB 2.0 Type-C port. For security, you get an in-display fingerprint sensor and facial recognition.

Honor X60i Price in Nepal and Availability

The smartphone went live on the company website on 26 July 2024 and will start shipping on 2 August 2024. It comes at a starting price of CNY 1,399 and goes up to CNY 1,799. Its predecessor did not make it into the Nepali borders, thus, it will likely follow the same route. However, if it does arrive here, we expect the Honor X60i price in Nepal to start from NPR 30,999.
