Honor X7e Has a Headphone Jack in 2026 and a Ginormous Battery for Under $230

Honor quietly introduced the X7e in select global markets as a budget 4G smartphone. It features a 6.6-inch LCD with HD+ resolution and up to 120Hz refresh, a 50MP main camera and a 5MP front camera, and a substantial battery of 7,500 mAh with 45W wired charging (some regions ship with 7,000 mAh). The device runs Android 16-based MagicOS 10.0 atop a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra chipset, with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, IP64 rating, and a dedicated one-tap AI key. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 5.1, dual-band Wi-Fi, dual-SIM 4G, GPS, and USB-C. The Malaysia variant offers 6GB RAM and 256GB storage, and the price is approximately $225. The X7e also preserves a 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature still valued by certain users. This launch underscores continued emphasis on compelling value in budget smartphones, particularly in markets where 4G devices remain in demand.
