Honor might be planning on releasing a new budget friend smartphone in the market soon. The Honor X5b has just been certified online, hinting at an imminent global release. This is also the latest model in this particular series, so here’s what we know so far.
Honor X5b visits Google Play Console
The Chinese smartphone brand’s upcoming device was just spotted on the Google Play Console carrying the GFY-LX2P model number. In this certification, we get a glimpse of the Honor X5b along with some of its specifications. Looking at the online database, the Honor X5b can be seen with a waterdrop notch display, which is surrounded by thick bezels. The lone selfie camera is also clearly in the notch.
This model could be the successor to the Honor X5 or simply a new entry that falls right below the Honor X9b and X8b, which launched last year. Under the hood, the new Honor X5b is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G36 SoC, which is paired with 4GB of RAM. Honor’s X5b was seen on Google Play Console running on the Android 14 OS out of the box. On the display front, the display will offer a 1620 x 720 resolution (HD+) and a pixel density of 320 DPI. This certification also hints that its global launch is right around the corner.
Earlier this year, the company had quietly released the Honor X6b, which was another affordable smartphone in the series. It arrived with a 6.56-inch TFT LDC panel with an HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It was equipped with the MediaTek Heliop G85 SoC with up to 6GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. For optics, there was a 50MP dual camera setup on the rear. A sizeable 5,200mAh battery pack, which supports 35W wired fast charging. So we can expect similar specs and features on the Honor X5b as well.
