HONOR’s new midrange phone packs a large battery, a Qualcomm chipset, and a fast but low-resolution display.
The HONOR X7e Plus features a large 8,100mAh battery paired with 45W wired charging. As per HONOR, you can watch 12 hours of online short videos at temperatures of -30°C or 14 hours at 50°C. HONOR said it can retain at least 80% of its battery health even after 6 years.
It also boasts an IP68/IP69/IP69K dust and water resistance rating. The device has been subjected to 85°C high-temperature water tests, exposure to high-humidity and salt-rich environments, and 10,000 water exposure cycles.
The device also has a One Tap Dust and Water Ejection feature, an improved wet-hand touch display, and underwater photo mode. It also received a 5-star SGS certification for being 2.5m drop-resistant.
Powering the X7e Plus is a 2.3GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 4 octa-core processor, with up to 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of internal storage. A 6.87-inch TFT screen is on the front with a high 120Hz refresh rate, but only an HD+ resolution.
A 5-megapixel sensor is used for selfies, while the rear has the 50-megapixel main shooter and an auxiliary lens. Like many HONOR phones, it has a dedicated AI Button on the left and ships with the Android 16-based MagicOS 10 interface.
The HONOR X7e Plus is now listed in Qatar. The 6GB/128GB retails for QAR999 (~Php16,900), while the 8GB/256GB is available for QAR1,099 (~Php18,600). Release details in more markets are yet to be known.
