The Honor X5c and X5c Plus have arrived in South Africa, offering budget-friendly hardware with large 5,260mAh batteries and 90Hz screens — a tempting mix for buyers who want long runtime and smooth scrolling without a flagship price.
Bright, smooth 6.74-inch displays that save power
Both models use a 6.74-inch TFT LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 720 × 1600 resolution. Honor includes Eye Comfort and Dynamic Dimming to reduce eye strain and improve outdoor visibility. The modest resolution helps conserve battery while keeping animations and UI interactions feeling fluid.
Midrange performance for everyday use
Powering the pair is the MediaTek Helio G81, an octa-core chip with 2x Cortex-A75 cores at 2.0GHz and 6x Cortex-A55 cores at 1.7GHz, paired with an ARM Mali-G52 MC2 GPU clocked at 820MHz. Configurations offer up to 4GB of physical RAM plus 4GB of virtual RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage — enough for smooth multitasking and casual gaming.
Massive battery with 15W fast charging
Both phones pack a 5,260mAh battery and support 15W fast charging. Combined with the energy-efficient chipset and 720p display, real-world endurance should comfortably cover a full day of typical use, making these models appealing for users who prioritize battery life.
Cameras and connectivity: straightforward, dependable
The key difference between the two is the rear camera. The Honor X5c has a dual-camera setup led by a 13MP main sensor with an auxiliary 0.08MP QVGA lens. The X5c Plus upgrades the primary camera to 50MP while retaining the secondary QVGA sensor. Both devices include a 5MP front-facing camera for selfies. Connectivity features include dual SIM support, Bluetooth 5.1, and 5GHz Wi‑Fi.
Pricing and availability
In South Africa the Honor X5c is available in Tidal Blue and Midnight Black as a single 4GB + 64GB SKU priced at SAR 299. Globally the X5c also comes in Ocean Cyan and Meteor Silver and is offered in a 4GB + 128GB variant. The X5c Plus is listed at SAR 329 in Ocean Cyan and Midnight Black, available with 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage.
Looking for an affordable handset with long battery life and a smoother-than-average display? The Honor X5c family is worth a look for budget-conscious buyers who value endurance and a pleasant everyday experience.
