In our latest review, we take a look at the HONOR X7c, an entry-level offering with an IP64 rating as its stand-out feature, making it resistant to dust particles and splashes of water, even withstanding full submersion at very shallow depths.
Ideal for those who get rained-on in transit or anyone who needs a sturdy companion for everyday wear and tear.
Priced at PHP 8,999, the HONOR X7c is impressive for its durability. The battery life is solid, while the clean software provides a smooth user experience for its cost.
While it’s not the most powerful device for gaming or high-end photography, its reliability and robust build make it a unique offering in the budget segment.
