Editorial report

Honor X5b Plus technical sheet

The Honor X5b Plus suits buyers looking for an Android phone with expandable storage and a large display; its main compromises are modest performance and slow charging. This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage and supports a memory card for added space. Its overall NeoScore is 4.6, and the phone stands worse than most phones launched around the same time.

The 6.56-inch IPS LCD display runs at 90 Hz and has a resolution of 720 × 1612 px. Both its refresh rate and its 530-nit peak brightness are lower than those of most phones from its time. The MediaTek Helio G36 and 4 GB of RAM place its hardware on the weak side: its AnTuTu result of 127,000 is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. Its 256 GB of storage, however, leaves room for apps and files.

The 50 MP rear camera records 1080p video, while the front camera is 5 MP. The camera overall stands worse than most phones launched around the same time. The 5,200 mAh battery has typical capacity, but its 10 W charging is among the slowest; reverse charging is also included. NFC, USB-C, dual SIM and a 3.5 mm audio jack accompany connectivity that stands worse than most. It is a basic option for buyers who prioritize expandable storage over performance and fast charging.
