Honor's most affordable smartphone, the Honor X5 Plus, packs in features that most smartphones – even the priciest ones – often miss. And it does it on a budget!
Get to know this budget beast a little better and see if this smartphone brimming with features is your perfect match.
Design: Pure Eye Candy
The Honor X5 Plus is here to prove that you don't need to sacrifice style for savings. It comes in two shimmering colours inspired by the starlit sky: Cyan Lake and Midnight Black. It's the kind of device that makes you wonder, "Why would I ever go for a bland budget brick when I can have all this?”
Sweet Displays are Made of This
What are your absolute favourite things to do on your smartphone? Now imagine doing them with a screen that’s grainy and dull. But you don't have to worry about a subpar screen with the Honor X5 Plus. It will keep you hooked with its big, bright 6.65-inch display and 720p high-definition resolution. And the cherry on top, it features Dynamic Dimming technology, which mimics natural light to reduce eye fatigue. There’s no guessing here, this display is sweet!
Cameras: Beautiful All Day and Night
With poor-quality smartphone cameras, every day is a “bad face day”. You deserve a phone that knows how to capture you in your best light. That’s where the Honor X5 Plus comes to the rescue. It sports a dual-lens rear camera with a 50MP main shooter and 5MP depth camera and on the front, you get a 5MP selfie snapper. For such an affordable phone, it captures clear and detailed photos in well-lit conditions. The only downside is that low-light and night-time photography tend to have reduced sharpness and clarity, but this is to be expected with phones in this price range.
No Place for a Penny-Pincher Performance
While the Honor X5 Plus is one of the most budget-friendly smartphones available right now, it's not your typical 'penny-pincher’ when it comes to performance. Powered by the MediaTek Helio G36, an entry-level chip, this phone effortlessly tackles every day, non-intensive tasks.
The chip allows for a larger camera, a faster display, 4G connectivity, and technology suitable for casual gaming. Switching between apps is smooth, web browsing is seamless and UI navigation is responsive. No freezing, no sluggishness, just pure snappiness!
It comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB built-in storage with a microSD card slot to expand your storage up to a massive 1TB. This gives you plenty of space for all your photos, videos, music and movies!
The days of deleting stuff just to make space are over. Let the hoarding begin!
“Batterying” the Competition
We've saved the best for last. The Honor X5 Plus packs a colossal 5200 mAh battery, beefier than most smartphones, including flagship models. A bigger battery means it lasts longer – you can easily go a day or two on a single charge. The word from Honor is that it delivers up to 17.8 hours of online video playback and 35 hours of audio calls. This is one way to batter the competition!
Verdict: Honor X5 Plus - Bigger Battery, Bigger Bargain
The Honor X5 Plus is the ultimate budget beast, packing a bigger battery punch than most smartphones. It's equally at home as your primary device or a trustworthy backup for those emergency moments, offering extended uptime on a single charge. Sure, Honor had to cut back on other premium features to make this price point possible, but don't let that deceive you.
What you're getting is an advanced smartphone that does everything you need it to – while looking great and lasting longer. Now that's impressive!
