Honor officially announced its next ‘tough’ offering in the Philippines, the HONOR X7c. While they have yet to mention the price, it will soon be available in the country starting November 6th.
The main highlight this time around is the phone’s resistance to water splashes thanks to its IP64 rating. In a new teaser video 13, HONOR Philippines showcased the phone’s capability to withstand a downpour when being used for motorcycling navigation.
However, it is unclear whether the phone will also come with some sort of wet touch prevention technology.
It should also handle some impacts as it comes with a five-star drop resistance from SGS.
The phone had already launched elsewhere, so the phone’s technical specs are already out. Powering the phone is a Snapdragon 685, rocking a 108-megapixel main camera, and a 6000mAh battery.

Compared to the HONOR X7b 32, which boasts better specs and a PHP 8,999 price tag, we can expect the X7c to be more affordable.
Regardless, it’s clear that the X7c will be positioned as an entry-level device based on its feature set.
