HONOR X7c goes official in PH

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 34, 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.

Expected price, launch date

Compared to the HONOR X7b 90, which boasts better specs and a PHP 8,999USD 153INR 13,000EUR 146CNY 1,117 price tag, we can expect the X7c to be more affordable.
