Entry Level Honor X7c Arrives for Only $212

The X7c is Honor’s latest budget offering which is now official after being listed last week. The official announcement brings more hardware details as well as a price tag.

Design and Display

The screen is based on a TFT LCD panel measuring 6.77 inches with 720p resolution alongside a 120Hz refresh rate. While most smartphones focus on high peak brightness, the Honor X7c can go as low as 2 nits for darker environments. The peak nits are 850 and there is also IP64 dust and water resistance.

The punch-hole for the selfie camera can expand into Honor’s Magic Capsule, just like Apple’s Dynamic Island to show notifications and other heads-up information.

Internals and Software

On the inside, there is the Snapdragon 685 chipset with two different memory options to choose from 6 to 8 GB RAM alongside 128 GB and 256 GB internal storage, though there is no mention of a memory card slot.

For software, it boots MagicOS 8 on top of Android 14. There are probably no AI features onboard since those are usually found on more premium phones.

Cameras

The main camera setup includes two sensors, though the primary shooter is pulling most of the weight here. It is a 108MP wide-angle unit based on a 1/1.67″ sensor alongside a 2MP depth camera. Video recording is limited to 1080p 30 FPS.

The selfie camera is an 8MP wide-angle shooter which is also capable of 1080p 30 FPS video recording.

Battery and Pricing

The battery is gigantic, sitting at 6,000 mAh with 33W wired charging. However, it is worth mentioning that some other regions have a 5,200 mAh battery variant instead, so not all countries may get the same 6,000 mAh model.

Honor X7c can be picked in Forest Green, Midnight Black, and Moonlight White colors for a starting price of $212.
