Budget phones rarely get the full red carpet treatment. Here we are with yet another entry-level device from Honor that launched without any fanfare. Honor X7e is a 4G LTE model, and its big selling point is the titan 7500mAh battery. This is everything we know about the newcomer.
We like the way they’ve designed this phone. It’s very minimal looking and premium at the same time, which is hard to pull off. But the X7e is less than ideal on the inside. They’ve apparently installed a Helio G81 Ultra chip on it. There’s no sugar coating it: the performance will be slow.
Honor new budget mobile does have 6GB RAM, so it does allow some level of multitasking. And the single trim pushed into the Malaysian market had 256GB storage. By the way, the phone runs Android 16 by default. The skin is obviously the new MagicOS 10 from Honor.
It’s a 6.6” IPS LCD on the front side of the phone. This display is riddled with thick bezels and an even thicker chin. It’s just an HD+ 720p panel, and the refresh rate hits 120Hz. That selfie camera is 5MP, put right under the punch hole cutout of the screen.
Those dual rear cameras on the back do look great, but only a single lens is functional with a 50MP main shooter within. There’s one extra key on the frame. That’s for the One Tap AI agent. Then you have the regular fingerprint reader on one of the other keys.
Honor X7e is all about endurance, it seems. They’ve put a huge 7500 mAh battery on it. That kind of capacity usually keeps going for two days straight. And Honor has wired it to a 45W charging kit, so it also refills at a fast pace.
The speakers are dual-stereo with 300% volume boost. The frame itself is SGS 5-star drop safe, and there’s an IP64 rating for the newcomer as well. $225 (~PKR 62,000) price does seem a bit steep for a phone that’s basically a fancy-looking sub-entry-level model.
