HONOR X5b Plus Now Available via Globe Postpaid for Just ₱500 Upfront

HONOR is making its latest entry-level smartphone even more accessible in the Philippines. The HONOR X5b Plus, which launched recently alongside the standard X5b, is now available through Globe Postpaid under the GPlan 599 — and it only requires a ₱500 cash-out upfront.

Previously priced at just ₱4,999 when bought unlocked, the HONOR X5b Plus was already positioned as a strong contender in the ultra-budget smartphone space. Now, with this new postpaid option, it becomes an even more compelling offer for users looking to pay in smaller installments. Under GPlan 599, customers receive 2GB of mobile data, 100 text messages, and 100 call minutes monthly, making it a practical bundle for light mobile users.

The HONOR X5b Plus brings a 6.56-inch HD+ LCD display to the table — and while you might not expect much from a phone at this price point, it surprisingly features a 90Hz refresh rate. It’s powered by a MediaTek Helio G36 processor, which handles basic tasks like social media, messaging, and streaming with ease. It may not be a gaming champ, but for everyday use, it’s built to deliver consistent performance.

What sets the “Plus” model apart from its X5b sibling is the camera and storage. Instead of the standard 13-megapixel shooter, the X5b Plus comes equipped with a 50-megapixel main camera, ideal for capturing detailed photos in good lighting. Storage also gets a significant boost — 128GB onboard — giving users ample room for apps, media, and photos. A massive 5,200mAh battery powers the device, offering impressive longevity, although charging is capped at 10W via USB-C. The phone runs on Android 14, layered with HONOR’s MagicOS 8.0.

This new Globe postpaid offer makes the X5b Plus particularly appealing to those who want to upgrade their device without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a student, a first-time smartphone user, or just need a solid backup phone, this plan provides an easy gateway into the smartphone ecosystem without a large upfront investment.

Interested customers can apply for the plan online or visit any Globe store nationwide. With this move, HONOR continues to push for broader market reach by partnering with local carriers, helping bring more affordable and capable smartphones to Filipinos.
