The device, which has a 13MP main camera and a 2MP auxiliary camera, is also behind its competitors in recording photos and videos.

Honor X5 is an ambitious smartphone among the low-budget smartphones developed by Honor. Honor X5’s screen has a 6.5-inch TFT panel. This screen comes with HD+ resolution. Honor X5, which has a screen that lags behind its competitors, will not be among the preferences of those who care about screen quality.
Honor X5, which uses the MediaTek Helio G25 chipset, comes with Android 12 GO edition. This shows that it uses an Android operating system that requires low system requirements for low-equipped smartphones. However, even with these features, it will not satisfy in daily use.
The device with 8MP rear camera does not have a camera quality that can meet daily needs. The 5MP front camera will not satisfy those who like to take selfies. Video recording features are also quite inadequate. Coming with a 5,000 mAh battery, the device has a battery life that can last for a day. With a price tag of 90EUR, this device is quite inadequate for its price segment. For this reason, you can turn to better options instead of buying this smartphone.

The device, which comes with MediaTek Helio G85 chip, was released with Android 13-based MIUI 14.
Offering 6GB Ram and 128 gb storage support, the device is quite sufficient for users. The device, which has two 50MP and 2MP rear cameras and an 8MP front camera, can meet average needs in daily use. POCO C65, which has a 5,000 mAh battery, comes with 18W fast charging support. POCO C65, which has a price of 80EUR, seems like a good option for those looking for a low-budget device.

With 2GB RAM and 32GB storage, the device has quite insufficient RAM and storage options today. The device with 8MP main camera and 0.08MP auxiliary camera has a very insufficient camera performance for today. The front camera performance of the device with 5MP front camera is also quite insufficient like the rear camera performance.
The 5,000mAh battery is sufficient for daily conditions. However, the fact that it offers 10W fast charging support shows that the battery will take a long time to charge. With a price tag of 78EUR, the device lags behind its competitors. There are better options in the same price segment.
Smartphones are getting better and better day by day. The development of smartphones shows that technology, which is very expensive today, can be accessible over time. With the development of technology, smartphones will develop further. As smartphones improve and new ones are released, the old ones will become more affordable.
