Honor X5 Plus

The Honor X5 Plus is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers basic features such as browsing, social media, and gaming capabilities. Priced at around 5000 pesos, the phone boasts impressive specs for its price point. Key features include 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, with an option to expand up to 1TB via a Micro SD card. The phone's battery life is decent, lasting two days on average usage. It also features a 6.56-inch not TFT display that can show up to 720p resolution. The camera setup is dual, with a 50MP main sensor and depth sensor for better low-light performance. However, the camera quality is average at best, making it suitable only for casual photography. The phone's processor, Mediatek Helio G36, performed decently in benchmarking tests. Charging the phone takes around three hours to complete a full cycle, using a 10W charger. Gaming performance was also mediocre, with Call of Duty mobile running smoothly at low graphical settings. Overall, the Honor X5 Plus is a solid choice for those on a tight budget who want a basic smartphone for everyday use. While it doesn't excel in any particular area, its specs and features make it a viable option for casual users. If you're looking for something better, consider upgrading to higher-end models like the Honor 90 Lite, which offers more impressive specs at a slightly higher price point.

Honor X6b

The Honor X6b is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers impressive specs and features at an affordable price point. The phone's design is sleek and modern, with a comfortable weight and premium feel despite its budget tag. It's available in four vibrant color options, including Forest Green, Brilliant Purple, Ocean Cyan, and Midnight Black. The Honor X6b boasts a 6.56-inch display with decent HD+ resolution, providing clear visuals with good color accuracy. The phone is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset, which delivers smooth performance for everyday tasks like social media browsing, video streaming, and multitasking. However, it struggles with more demanding games. The camera setup features a 50MP primary sensor, depth sensor, and macro camera, taking decent photos in good lighting conditions but struggling in low-light scenarios. The selfie camera is average, while the video recording capability tops out at 1080p at 30fps without stabilization. One of the standout features of the Honor X6b is its massive 5,200mAh battery, which easily lasts two days on a single charge with regular use. Fast charging support up to 35W is also a significant plus. The phone runs Android 14 with MagicOS UI, offering a clean and easy-to-navigate interface. Connectivity options include 4G, VoLTE, and Band 20 support for better network coverage in rural areas. The Honor X6b is a solid choice for casual users seeking a dependable device at an affordable price point.
