HONOR adds a new model to its budget lineup with the X6c, which was unveiled in Malaysia. As a successor to the X6b, the X6c gets an IP64 rating and a 1.5m drop resistance just like recent X series phones, and its display is larger at 6.61 inches with a higher peak brightness of 1000 nits and a 120hz refresh rate. The display has a punch-hole for a 5-megapixel selfie shooter.

Its battery is slightly bigger at 5300mAh, and still supports 35w charging. You have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and powering the X6c is a Helio G81 processor that’s paired with up to 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage. Its dual rear camera setup consists of a 50-megapixel main shooter with a f/1.8 aperture and a QVGA depth sensor. Despite being a budget phone, the X6c comes with Android 15-based MagicOS 9 out of the box, along with a dedicated AI button and a headphone jack.

The HONOR X6c starts at RM 599 (~Php 8k) in Malaysia. That makes the X6c one of HONOR’s most affordable phones to have both water and drop resistance. We expect the X6c to arrive in the Philippines soon since we got the X6b last year.
