Honor X5c Coming to Pakistan Soon Expected Launch in Early November 2025
The budget smartphone scene in Pakistan is about to get more exciting. Honor is preparing to launch its new Honor X5c, a simple yet smart entry-level phone aimed at users who want a reliable daily driver at a reasonable price. The phone recently debuted in China, and now reports confirm that it will arrive in Pakistan during the first week of November 2025.
A Fresh Entry in Honor’s Budget Lineup
Honor X5c may not be a flagship, but it’s a neat upgrade for users looking for something functional, smooth, and affordable. This phone fits perfectly in the brand’s mission of offering practical smartphones with clean design and modern software.
The X5c has a flat frame design that looks minimal and sturdy. Its screen size is 6.74 inches, giving you a good viewing experience for movies, social media, and daily use. However, since it’s a TFT HD+ display with 260ppi pixel density, the sharpness isn’t top-tier. Still, the 90Hz refresh rate helps make scrolling smoother and animations more fluid a nice bonus at this price point.
Display and Design Details
Even though Honor went with a basic panel, the phone still manages to look good. The flat edges, rounded corners, and small water-drop notch make it look modern. Users who enjoy large displays for watching videos or gaming on a budget will find it quite handy. Honor has also kept the phone’s dimensions balanced with a thickness of just 7.9mm, it’s not bulky despite housing a large battery.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Honor X5c runs on MediaTek’s Helio G81 chipset paired with Mali-G52 GPU. It’s an older processor, but it should handle light multitasking, social media, and casual gaming easily. The phone comes with Android 15 topped with MagicOS 9, offering a modern and smoother interface. You can expect optimized battery use, better app transitions, and updated privacy settings all packed in a user-friendly layout.
The Pakistani variant’s exact RAM and storage configurations aren’t confirmed yet. However, based on the international models, Honor X5c may come in 4GB/64GB and 4GB/128GB variants. That would give buyers some flexibility depending on their budget and usage needs.
Camera Setup Simple but Useful
Photography isn’t the main highlight here, but the Honor X5c still gives you decent results for everyday shots. The international models show two different camera setups. In Latin American markets, it ships with a 50MP main camera with PDAF, while some Asian and European versions feature a 13MP primary camera with a 5MP front sensor. For Pakistan, it’s likely we’ll get the 13MP version. While not a camera-focused device, it will still handle casual photography well under good lighting. The 5MP selfie camera should be sufficient for video calls and social media snaps.
Battery and Charging
Honor has fitted the X5c with a 5260mAh battery, which is quite generous for a budget device. Even with a power-hungry 90Hz display, users can expect solid endurance for a full day of moderate use — social media, calling, and streaming. Charging is limited to 15W wired input, so it’s not the fastest option out there. But the bigger battery somewhat balances that out. Interestingly, Honor used a Li-Po battery type, which is slightly heavier than Li-ion but generally safer and longer-lasting.
Connectivity and Extra Features
The Honor X5c doesn’t skip the essentials. It includes:
- Side-mounted fingerprint scanner for quick unlocking
- Dual-band Wi-Fi for stable connectivity
- Bluetooth 5.1 support
- 3.5mm headphone jack (a rare find these days)
- USB Type-C port
These small touches make the phone practical for daily use without depending on wireless accessories.
Expected Price and Availability in Pakistan
Honor hasn’t announced the official launch price yet, but based on its global pricing, the Honor X5c is expected to cost around PKR 34,999 to PKR 39,999 in Pakistan.
That would place it directly against other budget-friendly devices like Xiaomi Redmi 13C, Infinix Smart 9, and Tecno Spark 20.

Final Thoughts A Smart Budget Pick for 2025
The Honor X5c is shaping up to be a strong contender in Pakistan’s budget phone segment. It doesn’t promise flagship-level power but checks all the right boxes for an affordable smartphone smooth display, long battery life, updated Android 15, and stylish design.
If Honor manages to keep the price competitive, this phone could become one of the best options for students, casual users, and anyone switching from feature phones to Android.
