Honor X7d 5G Launched: Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 and 50MP Camera

Honor has unveiled the Honor X7d 5G, an upgraded version of last month’s X7d 4G, targeting users who want affordable 5G smartphones. Powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset, the device delivers faster performance, better energy efficiency, and reliable connectivity compared to its 4G predecessor. The Honor X7d 5G brings incremental upgrades while keeping the price accessible, making it one of the most appealing budget 5G phones in its category.

Redesigned Camera Setup

The phone features a revamped camera system. While it trades the 108MP main sensor of the X7d 4G for a 50MP main camera with f/1.8 aperture, it still offers high-quality photography for everyday use. The front-facing camera is now 5MP, slightly lower than the 4G model’s 8MP selfie shooter, but still capable of sharp selfies and video calls.

Hassle-Free Photography Features

The device comes with software optimizations that improve image processing and low-light photography. Combined with the 50MP main camera, users can enjoy versatile shooting options for landscapes, portraits, and casual photography.

Display and Performance

The Honor X7d 5G keeps the same 6.77-inch HD+ TFT LCD screen as the 4G model, featuring a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling and gaming. Under the hood, the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 ensures efficient performance and 5G connectivity. The chipset balances speed, power efficiency, and thermal management, making the Honor X7d 5G a practical choice for daily tasks and light gaming.

Long-Lasting Battery Life

Battery life is a highlight of the phone. With a 6,500 mAh battery, the phone supports:

• 35W wired fast charging for quick top-ups
• 7.5W reverse wired charging to power other devices

This combination ensures that the device lasts all day and provides flexibility for users on the go.

Software and Storage

The new phone runs Android 15 with Magic OS 9, offering a clean, modern interface with extra customization features. Storage comes in a 6GB RAM + 128GB internal storage configuration, which is sufficient for apps, media, and casual multitasking.

Color Options and Price

It comes in Velvet Black and Desert Gold finishes. The phone is priced at MYR 699 ($166) in Malaysia, and Honor plans to expand availability to other regions in the following weeks.

Why the Honor X7d 5G Is a Worthy Upgrade

With its Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset, 50MP main camera, and 5G support, the Honor X7d 5G offers a compelling balance between price and performance. It is an ideal choice for budget-conscious users who want to experience 5G connectivity without compromising on essential smartphone features.
