Honor X5c Plus arrives in Indonesia with a selling point that is increasingly rare in the Rp 2 million segment: a fully loaded retail package. At a time when many brands are removing chargers and other extras, this phone still includes the basic accessories buyers usually need on day one.
That approach makes the device appealing for users who want to avoid extra spending after purchase. Honor also pairs the package with a large battery, decent memory, and a design that aims to look more polished than a typical entry-level phone.
A retail box that feels unusually complete
The unit reviewed came in Ocean Cyan, with a box that looks standard from the outside and shows the device image, product name, and key highlights on the front. The box feels noticeably heavy because the contents are more generous than what is now common in this price range.
Once opened, the phone appears on the top layer, with the rest of the accessories arranged underneath. The package includes a 15-watt fast charging adapter, a USB-A to USB-C cable, a USB-C wired headset, a transparent soft case, a SIM ejector tool, a user guide, and a warranty card.
That list means the phone can be used immediately without shopping for add-ons. The bundled charger is also practical because it supports 15-watt charging, while the included headset adds value for gaming, online meetings, and music listening.
Design that tries to look more premium
Honor gives the X5c Plus a back panel with a wave-like pattern that reflects light when viewed from different angles. The camera module follows a modern style with three bobble-like circles arranged diagonally, helping the phone look more premium at first glance.
Only one of those rear circles houses the main 50 MP camera, accompanied by a QVGA sensor. The other two circles serve mostly as design elements rather than functional camera hardware.
In hand, the body feels fairly thin. The frame is flat, but the corners remain rounded, which keeps the phone comfortable enough for one-handed use.
The transparent soft case included in the box can be attached immediately to help protect the body from scratches and fingerprints. It reinforces the device’s practical, low-extra-cost positioning.
Display and everyday features
On the front, the Honor X5c Plus uses a 6.74-inch TFT LCD panel with HD Plus resolution at 720 x 1,600 pixels. For a phone at this price, the display technology is still reasonable, although it does not match the quality level of AMOLED panels found on more expensive models.
The screen still comes with relatively thick bezels, and a waterdrop notch at the top houses the 5 MP front camera. Honor also adds Eye Comfort and Dynamic Dimming features, which are intended to reduce eye strain during longer use sessions.
Battery and core hardware
One of the strongest hardware claims on the Honor X5c Plus is its 5,260 mAh battery, supported by 15-watt charging. Honor says that capacity is enough to last through a full day of use on a single charge.
The combination of a large battery and a bundled charger gives the phone a convenience advantage for users who value practicality. The setup is especially relevant in a market where buyers often have to purchase charging accessories separately.
Performance comes from the MediaTek Helio G81 chipset paired with a Mali-G52 MC2 GPU. Its octa-core CPU combines two Cortex-A75 cores at 2.0 GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores at 1.7 GHz for daily activities such as social media, video streaming, and light gaming.
