The HONOR X7d is the latest budget smartphone from HONOR Philippines, designed for users who need a reliable phone that lasts. Priced under PHP 10K, it offers a tough build, long battery life, and useful smart features that make it stand out in its class.
We have been using the phone for almost a month now, and in this HONOR X7d review, we are sharing the three best features that make it a practical and dependable choice for everyday users in the Philippines.
Incredible Durability
One of the best features of the HONOR X7d is its impressive durability. If you have seen the stunts posted by HONOR Philippines on social media, those are all real because this phone can survive water splashes, spills, and even submersion, thanks to its upgraded IP65M water resistance rating.
We also tried spilling water on the phone, and it survived without any problem. It also has wet-hand touch enhancement, which means the screen still responds accurately even with wet or soapy hands.
Another proof of its toughness is the 5-star SGS Premium Performance Certification for drop resistance. We are not fans of doing drop tests, but it is nice to know that this phone can handle accidental drops, making it reliable for clumsy users.
Long-lasting Battery
The HONOR X7d also received an upgrade in its battery capacity. It now packs a large 6,500mAh battery that supports 35W HONOR SuperCharge. On the PCMark battery benchmark, it achieved an impressive score of 16 hours and 52 minutes, which is one of the highest scores we have seen compared to other devices we have reviewed.
In real-world usage, the phone can easily last up to two days of casual use. It is perfect for users like delivery riders or those who need a phone that can last through a full day of work without worrying about running out of battery.
One-Click AI Button
Another standout feature of the HONOR X7d is the dedicated One-Click AI button. Some users might not find it necessary, but having this button allows quick access to various shortcuts such as cleanup, selected apps, Do Not Disturb mode, event calendar, screenshot, flashlight, calculator, notes, and screen recorder.
This AI mobile assistant adds convenience, especially for those who often use the mentioned features. While it may not be an essential feature, it is something that can be customized and optimized depending on your personal use.
Bonus Feature
While it is not a major upgrade, the 108MP main camera of the HONOR X7d still delivers good image quality. Honestly, we were surprised by the photos we took since we did not expect a significant improvement, considering it uses the same camera system as its predecessor. It is already enough for capturing memories or taking photos of documents.

If you are looking for a phone that can keep up with your active lifestyle without spending too much, the HONOR X7d is definitely worth considering.
