HONOR Philippines is making waves with the launch of its “all-angle water-resistant phone,” the HONOR X7c.
With an IP64 rating, the HONOR X7c can handle dust and water splashes like a champ — as what you’ve probably seen in the launch teasers for this X series model. While we advise against doing your own durability tests unless it’s what you do for a living, it’s nice to know that the X7c is ready for accidental spills and the unpredictable Philippine weather.

Here’s another one. Please don’t try this at home. Anyhow, our review of the HONOR X7c should be up by tomorrow, November 7
The smartphone is available in Forest Green, Midnight Black, and Moonlight White colors and sports a stylish design with a textured faux-leather back (on the Forest Green variant) for added grip and sophistication. And with a generous 6.77-inch TFT LCD screen, a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling, and a peak brightness of 850 nits, this device might just be your ideal mate for media consumption, gaming, and everything in between.
The HONOR X7c is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 processor paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Inside is a massive 6,000mAh battery that keeps the phone going for at least one day on a single charge. There’s a capable 108-megapixel dual camera on the back and an 8-megapixel shooter up front.

The X7c also boasts an always-on display feature typically found on more expensive AMOLED panels. This unexpected addition allows you to check the time, date, and notifications at a glance, without having to wake up the handset. Running on Android 14 with HONOR’s MagicOS 8.0, the unit offers a user-friendly experience with a range of customization options.
Ready to take the plunge? The HONOR X7c is available with a suggested retail price of P8,999 (around $153) at HONOR Experience and partner stores nationwide, as well as online through Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok Shop. If you purchase it anytime between November 8 and November 10, the brand is sweetening the deal with a free HONOR Gift Camping Light Speaker.
