Honor's next phone is a bit too traditional, but it should be very cheap
The entry-level and mid-range segments of the smartphone market are very competitive because of the large number of new devices that are coming out every week. Not only that, but customers are now holding on to their phones for a longer time than in the past.
Honor is one of the many phone makers that are trying to compete with more established brands like Motorola, Samsung and Xiaomi. The newly introduced Honor 400 series is a pure example of how the Chinese company is improving its products in an attempt to gain more market share from the competition.The X-series is Honor's lineup of more affordable smartphones. Despite being cheaper, these phones still offer great value for money and feature a premium look more often than not.
The next phone in the X-series is Honor X6c, a device that hasn't been announced yet. However, several high-resolution renders of the phone have already been leaked, alongside key specs. At first glance, Honor X6c feels like an average, yet very stylish, affordable smartphone, so the success of the phone might come down to whether or not Honor will price this competitively.
Honor X6c | Image credit: YTECHB For tech-savvy, Honor X6c uses a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra processor, which is paired with 6/8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. The smartphone sports a very decent 6.61-inch TFT LCD display with 1604 x 720 pixels resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.As far as the camera is concerned, the report claims the phone comes with a standard dual-camera system that includes a 50-megapixel main sensor and a much smaller QVGA snapper. There's also a secondary 5-megapixel selfie camera on the front.
Honor X6c is powered by a 5,300 mAh battery with 35W wired charging speed support. The phone will also feature IP64 rating and will ship with Magic OS 9.0 based on Android 15. On paper, Honor X6c feels like a dumbed down version of its bigger brother, Honor X7c, which made its debut on the market back in October. The former has slightly smaller display, battery, and camera, as well as a different chipset.
What sets the Honor X6c apart from the previous model is the AI button on the left side. All in all, the X6c should be more affordable than the X7c judging by the leaked specs. Just for reference, Honor X7c costs around €150, the upcoming model should be even cheaper.

I wasn't looking for a foldable — until the Galaxy Z Fold 7 dropped a massive $300
Having a foldable phone is more than just a trend — it's a serious productivity boost in your pocket. And when we talk about foldable devices, the latest Galaxy Z Fold 7 definitely deserves mentioning. It boasts an upgraded design, exceptional performance, and solid AI prowess. Best part? Amazon finally dropped a solid discount on it!About two weeks ago, I highlighted the e-commerce giant's first-time price cut. At the time, you could save $140 on select 512GB models. While a decent initial discount, this deal still made shoppers cough up over $1,900 for the premium Samsung phone. But now, you can grab either the 256GB or 512GB models for a massive $300 off. $300 off (15%) The Galaxy Z Fold 7 dropped to its lowest price so far on Amazon. For a limited time, the device is going for a solid $300 off its original price. The sale is available on both storage configurations in all colors, making it impossible to ignore. Act fast and save big while it lasts. Buy at Amazon Let me break it down: the base storage configuration is going for just under $1,700 instead of $2,000. The larger storage variant, on the other hand, will set you back about $1,820. Even though that's still a steep asking price, the device is definitely worth it. So, if you're looking to score a major bargain, I suggest you act fast. Plus, the Samsung Store doesn't offer straight-up discounts — you can only save by trading in an eligible device in good condition. Packing a larger 6.5-inch cover display, the new Android foldable finally lets you handle basic tasks — like typing a message — without constantly opening it. The main display has grown as well, and you're now looking at an 8-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel, up from 7.6 inches on the Galaxy Z Fold 6. On top of that, this Pixel 9 Pro Fold rival delivers incredible horsepower. With its Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, it brings enough potential for even the most demanding apps. As if that's not enough, you're getting an advanced 200MP main camera on the rear and multiple Galaxy AI features to make your experience more seamless and intuitive. And with seven years of OS and security updates, the latest Samsung foldable remains safe and reliable for years. Needless to say, that makes the pricey smartphone an investment that pays off over time. Bottom line: while I'm not currently looking for a new foldable, this limited-time $300 discount seriously tempts me. If you feel the same, I'd suggest you grab it, as this is a limited-time sale that might vanish soon.
