Two budget HONOR smartphones will be making its debut on September 26, 2023 – the HONOR X6a and X5 Plus. Both are positioned below the PhP 8,000 mark but still pack big batteries and high-resolution main cameras.
The HONOR X6a and X5 Plus largely share the same features. The two have a 5,200mAh battery that supports up to 17.8 hours of video playback or up to 15.5 hours of music streaming on a single charge. At the end of the day, they can be charged by up to 31% within 20 minutes thanks to their support for HONOR 22.5W SuperCharge.
Both smartphones will also come with 50MP main cameras, 2MP f/2.4 depth sensors, and 5MP front-facing lenses. The X6a ups the X5 Plus by a little by adding a 2MP f/2.4 macro at the back.
