What we don't like about Honor X60i 5G (12GB + 512GB)

  • The camera system, particularly the 8MP front camera and 2MP depth sensor, is generally considered underwhelming and an area of cost-cutting.
  • Lacks a 3.5mm audio jack.
  • Some users reported mixed experiences with battery life, with a few noting drainage issues despite overall positive feedback.
  • The device is a China version and does not officially support Google Play services, which is a significant drawback for users outside of China.
  • No expandable memory card slot.

Verdict

The Honor X60i 5G is a sleek, lightweight smartphone (172g, 7.2mm thick) featuring a 6.7-inch FHD+ (1080 x 2412 pixels) AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and high 2000 nits peak brightness. It is powered by the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6080 processor and runs Android 14 with MagicOS 8, with this variant offering a substantial 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage. Photography is handled by a dual rear camera system (50MP main + 2MP depth) and an 8MP front camera. A 5000mAh battery with 35W fast charging support provides ample power and quick top-ups. Pros include its slim, IP64 dust and splash-resistant design, vibrant high-refresh-rate AMOLED display, large battery capacity, and generous memory configuration for smooth performance. Cons are the absence of expandable storage (no card slot), no 3.5mm audio jack, lack of NFC support in some regions, and 1080p video recording limited to 30fps.
