Honor has re‑introduced two mid‑range phones under new badges, the X5d and X5d Plus, which are essentially refreshed versions of the 2025 X5c and X5c Plus. Both retain a 6.74‑inch IPS LCD with HD+ resolution and a 90 Hz panel, a water‑drop notch housing a 5 MP selfie sensor, and a side‑mounted fingerprint reader aimed at extending its mid‑range relevance.

Both models run MediaTek’s Helio G81 SoC paired with 4 GB of RAM. Storage splits at 64 GB for the X5d and 128 GB for the Plus variant, and each ships with MagicOS 9.0 built on Android 15. Battery capacity sits at 5,260 mAh with 15 W wired charging, while the Plus upgrades to a 50 MP f/1.8 main camera; the standard X5d keeps a 13 MP f/2.2 shooter, adds quick unlock.

In Malaysia the lineup arrives in Tidal Blue and Midnight Black, priced at MYR 369 (about $93) for the 4/64 GB X5d and MYR 459 (≈$115) for the 4/128 GB Plus. By recycling existing hardware, Honor can offer a sub‑$120 entry point in a crowded segment, giving budget shoppers a familiar spec sheet without the premium badge, especially in emerging markets.
