Honor X5c and X5c Plus launched in Nepal with 90Hz display and 5260mAh batteries

Honor X5c and X5c Plus Overview

Display and Design

Both the X5c and X5c Plus come with a 6.74-inch TFT LCD panel that runs at 90Hz. Resolution sticks to just 720 × 1600 pixels, so not much of a jump from last year’s Honor X5b except for the slightly larger display. They also support "Dynamic Dimming" feature to reduce eye strain.

As for the design, the Honor X5c duo brings a redesigned camera module that resembles the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max. They both have a side-mounted fingerprint reader and come in a few color options. Including "Ocean Cyan" and "Midnight Black" for the X5c Plus, while the regular X5c is also available in "Tidal Blue" and "Meteor Silver" finishes.

Performance and Software

Powering these budget phones is MediaTek's Helio G81 (12nm). We have seen this same chip in the Honor Play10 as well, which was recently launched in Nepal. It’s a noticeable jump from Helio G36 on their predecessors, which honestly struggled to keep up even with light multitasking. The G81 gives you a bit more headroom, though calling it fast would be generous.

As for memory, you’re getting up to 4GB of RAM (plus another 4GB virtual) and 128GB of storage on the X5c Plus. The Honor X5c comes in a 64GB configuration too, while both of them run on MagicOS 9.0 on top of Android 15.

Camera setup

Besides memory configuration, these two have a slightly different camera setup as well. Honor X5c packs a 13MP main sensor and a not so useful 0.08MP QVGA lens.

The Plus version, however, swaps that 13MP camera for a better 50MP primary sensor, which is a decent step up if you care about photos. Both share the same 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls.

Battery, charging, and everything else

As I mentioned right at the beginning, Honor surprisingly didn’t go big with the battery here, as both of them carry a 5260mAh battery. A small bump from last year’s 5200mAh. Charging speed has also improved slightly from 10W to 15W.

Other than this, Honor's latest budget phones have dual 4G SIM support, Bluetooth 5.1, and dual-band WiFi connectivity. There’s no NFC support, and neither do they have any sort of IP rating.
