The Honor X7b 5G is a mid-range smartphone that boasts some impressive features, including a Mediatek Dimensity 6020 processor, 8GB RAM with Honor Ram Turbo technology, and a huge 6,000mAh battery with 35W fast charging. The device runs on Android 13 along with Magic OS 7.2, which provides plenty of customization options to improve productivity.

However, video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps, which may be a drawback for some users. The phone's design is eye-catching, with a beautiful display that makes it suitable for gaming and browsing. While it has its limitations, the Honor X7b 5G offers good value for money in its price segment, especially considering its upgrades over the regular 4G version of the device.
