Honor has unveiled the X7d 5G, a budget-focused addition to its X series that brings 5G connectivity and a refreshed chipset while trimming a few camera specs compared with the earlier 4G model.
Key upgrades and the camera trade-off
The headline change for the X7d 5G is the move to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6s Gen 3, giving the phone native 5G support and a modest performance bump over the 4G variant. On the camera front Honor swapped the previous 108MP main sensor for a 50MP shooter with an f/1.8 aperture, and the front camera drops to 5MP from 8MP. For shoppers this means better overall connectivity and efficient day-to-day performance, at the cost of peak megapixel count.
Display, battery life and software
Hardware beyond the cameras remains largely unchanged. The X7d 5G sports a 6.77-inch TFT LCD panel with HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and animations. Power comes from a substantial 6,500 mAh battery backed by 35W wired fast charging, plus 7.5W reverse wired charging for sharing power with accessories. Software-wise the phone boots Android 15 layered with Honor's Magic OS 9.
Configuration, colors and pricing
Honor ships the X7d 5G in a single 6GB RAM and 128GB storage trim. Color options include Velvet Black and Desert Gold. The handset is priced at MYR 699 in Malaysia, roughly equivalent to US$166, and Honor is expected to roll it out to additional markets in the coming weeks.
Conclusion
The Honor X7d 5G targets buyers who want affordable 5G and long battery life without paying for flagship camera specs. It offers a compelling balance of price, battery endurance and modern connectivity for budget-minded users.
