Honor X7d 5G Review: Three Months of Budget Brilliance

Third-party reviews

What we like about Honor X7d 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Exceptional battery life, often lasting two to three days on a single charge due to its massive 6500mAh capacity and efficient processor.
  • Durable build quality with an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, plus SGS 5-Star drop protection, which is rare for a budget phone.
  • Smooth user experience for daily tasks and multitasking, thanks to a large amount of RAM (up to 12GB in some variants) and a 120Hz refresh rate display.
  • Generous storage options (e.g., 128GB or 256GB/512GB depending on variant), often expandable via a microSD card slot.
  • Includes a 35W fast charger in the box, which is a convenient value-add.
  • Equipped with useful connectivity features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers (or at least loud speakers with a 400% volume boost).
  • The 108MP main camera captures detailed and vibrant photos in good lighting conditions.
  • Runs on a clean and responsive MagicOS 9.0 interface based on Android 15 with minimal bloatware.

What we don't like about Honor X7d 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • The display has a low 720p (HD+) resolution, which is not as sharp as competitors' Full HD (1080p) screens and can appear less crisp on a 6.77-inch screen.
  • Lacks 5G connectivity (on some regional models, while others are marketed as 5G), making it less future-proof.
  • Performance is adequate for daily use but the processor is not suited for intensive gaming, with frame drops in demanding titles.
  • Video recording is limited to 1080p at 30fps (or 60fps on some variants), with no 4K option, and can be shaky without OIS.
  • Low-light camera performance is average, producing noticeable noise and slower shutter response.
  • The secondary 2MP depth or macro cameras add little practical value and are often considered gimmicks to pad the spec sheet.
  • The plastic build, while durable, feels less premium than glass or metal alternatives.
  • Outdoor screen visibility can be challenging under direct sunlight despite a high brightness rating.

Verdict

The Honor X7d 5G (8GB + 256GB) is a durable mid-range smartphone featuring a 6.77-inch TFT LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 850 nits. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 chipset and runs on MagicOS 9.0 based on Android 15. A major highlight is its massive 6,500mAh battery supporting 35W SuperCharge and reverse wired charging. For photography, it utilizes a 50MP main camera and a 5MP front sensor, though some regional 4G variants offer 108MP. Its primary advantages include exceptional 5-year battery endurance, IP65 water and dust resistance, and SGS 5-star drop certification for enhanced physical longevity. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively low HD+ (720 x 1610) display resolution, the use of an LCD panel rather than AMOLED, and the lack of wireless charging.Would you like to compare this model's battery performance or durability ratings with other budget 5G phones released in 2025?
