HONOR launches the X5d and X5d Plus duo: 90Hz display, 5,260 mAh battery, and Android 15.
HONOR's new budget smartphone duo impresses with its large-capacity battery, smooth display, and the most modern MagicOS 9.0 operating system in the sub-3 million VND price segment.
HONOR has officially expanded its entry-level product line with the launch of the HONOR X5d and HONOR X5d Plus. These devices focus on the basic user experience, combining long-lasting battery life, a high refresh rate display, and the latest software platform.
Design and display capabilities that surpass the price.
Overall, both models share a consistent design language with solid build quality. The biggest highlight on the front is the 6.74-inch IPS LCD screen. Although it only has a basic HD+ resolution, HONOR has upgraded the refresh rate to 90Hz. This makes swiping, touching, and transitioning in the interface and social media applications significantly smoother compared to the traditional 60Hz found on budget phones.
In addition, this duo also meets the IP54 water and dust resistance standard, protecting the device from environmental impacts such as light rain or dust. The fingerprint sensor is cleverly integrated on the side, ensuring security and convenience when unlocking the device.
Stable performance with Android 15 and a large battery capacity.
Powering the HONOR X5d and X5d Plus is a MediaTek Helio G81 processor paired with 4GB of RAM. This configuration is sufficient for handling everyday tasks such as web browsing, watching online videos, and using communication applications. Notably, both models run on MagicOS 9.0, a customized interface based on Android 15, right out of the box – a significant software advantage over competitors in the same price range.
To meet the demands of heavy use, HONOR equips the device with a 5,260 mAh battery. According to the manufacturer's specifications, this capacity is more than enough to sustain operation throughout the day with mixed tasks. The device supports 15W wired charging technology.
Differences in camera and storage capacity
The most significant difference between the two versions lies in their camera capabilities and internal memory. Specifically:
- HONOR X5d Plus:This version boasts a premium 50-megapixel main sensor, supporting high-detail photography and improved light handling. It also offers ample 128GB of storage space.
- HONOR X5d:It uses a 13-megapixel main lens (f/2.2 aperture) suitable for basic photography needs. The phone comes with 64GB of internal memory.
Both devices share a 0.08-megapixel QVGA secondary lens on the back and a 5-megapixel selfie camera on the front.
