Honor X6e Launches in Malaysia With 7,500 mAh Battery for $171
PHONES

Honor introduced the X6e smartphone in Malaysia on July 30, 2024, targeting budget-conscious buyers who prioritize battery life over high-end performance. The device addresses a common pain point for heavy users by packing a massive 7,500 mAh battery into a 4G-enabled chassis. This configuration allows the phone to last significantly longer between charges compared to standard budget models, making it a practical choice for users who travel or work far from power outlets.

Budget smartphone adds massive battery and drop resistance

The X6e runs on the MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra processor, which pairs with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. This hardware combination supports basic multitasking and light mobile gaming without requiring a premium price tag. The device operates on Android 16-based MagicOS 10 out of the box, ensuring users get the latest software features from day one.

Specifications

  • Battery: 7,500 mAh
  • Processor: MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra
  • RAM: 4 GB
  • Storage: 128 GB
  • Display: 6.61-inch LCD, 1604 x 720, 120 Hz

A 6.61-inch LCD display provides a 1604 x 720 pixel resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling. The screen sits behind an IP64-rated frame that offers protection against dust and water splashes. Honor also certified the phone for drop resistance, claiming it can survive falls from a height of 1.8 meters. This ruggedness makes the X6e suitable for users who need a durable daily driver.

Photography features include a 50 MP main camera for primary shots and a 5 MP front-facing sensor for selfies. The phone supports 45 W wired charging, which helps replenish the large battery relatively quickly. Connectivity options include dual-SIM slots and GPS, but the device lacks an NFC chip for contactless payments. Honor priced the X6e at MYR 699 (around $171) for the Malaysian market.

It remains unclear whether Honor will release the device in international markets or how long it will receive software updates.
