Honor on Monday announced the launch of its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the Honor X7c 5G, in India. Positioned in the sub-₹15,000 segment, the device is designed to appeal to users looking for a large display, dependable performance, and 5G connectivity at an affordable price point.

The Honor X7c 5G features a 6.8-inch LCD display with a 20.1:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 2412×1080 pixels, making it one of the larger screens in its category. The device is IP64 rated for splash resistance and also retains a 3.5mm audio jack, a feature increasingly absent in modern smartphones.

Powering the handset is the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage, which should be sufficient for multitasking and media consumption. On the software side, it runs MagicOS 8.0, based on Android 14, ensuring users get the latest UI improvements and system features.

In terms of cameras, the Honor X7c 5G comes equipped with a 50MP main rear sensor, supported by a 2MP depth sensor, while the 5MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. The device is backed by a 5,200 mAh battery, supported by 35W fast charging, aimed at keeping the phone running through a full day of heavy use.

The phone will go on sale from August 20 exclusively on Amazon India, priced at ₹14,999.

Honor, which returned to the Indian market in 2023 after a brief hiatus, has been focusing on the budget and mid-range smartphone segments, where competition is fierce with rivals such as Xiaomi, Realme, and iQOO. With the X7c 5G, the company is aiming to strengthen its presence among value-conscious buyers who want future-ready 5G devices without stretching their budget.
