6.5/10GetLow rating
Our take, in a number
Provisional · Specification-based
The large screen and battery specification cover a basic budget-phone brief. The HD-class display, modest processor and 64GB storage in the listed configuration make price the deciding factor.
Why this rating?
GetLow editorial assessment, . We weigh the published features, practical compromises, intended buyer and value proposition described in this guide. This is a qualitative judgement, not a calculated benchmark or customer average.
9–10: exceptional on paper; 8–8.5: a strong shortlist choice; 7–7.5: good for the right buyer; 5–6.5: substantial compromises; 1–4.5: difficult to recommend.
We have not hands-on tested this phone. Real-world speed, photo quality and battery endurance are not proven by this score. Basic and accessibility phones are judged for their intended use, not as flagship substitutes. For refurbished phones, the score describes the model, not the condition or battery of an individual unit. A score is not a rating of every contract: compare the current total cost separately.
Start with the size, camera and storage you need. The lowest monthly price alone does not tell you whether this is the right phone.
What to weigh up
Check the exact storage, colour and condition on the retailer page. Refurbished grades, battery policies and warranties vary.
Worth the upgrade?
Compare it with the phone you already own. Pay for a useful improvement, not just a newer model name.
About this guide: GetLow explains published specifications and compares UK contract listings. It is not a hands-on laboratory test. Battery and charging figures depend on the manufacturer's test conditions; everyday results vary.

Build your own phone comparison
Select any three phones and compare them side by side
The Honor X5c Plus is selected first. Change any selector to compare it with two other current phones from Honor, or with the wider market when fewer than three Honor models are available.
Every price card keeps monthly cost, upfront payment, total cost, data, contract length and condition attached to the same live listing. The specification table then shows the hardware differences that may justify paying more.
A big screen on a small budget
The X5c Plus gives you a generous 6.74-inch display, big enough for comfortable browsing and video, though at an HD+ 720 x 1600 resolution on an LCD panel. IP54 adds a little dust and splash resistance.
At 186g it is a fair size, and the build feels solid enough for everyday knocks.
Dependable everyday performance
The MediaTek Helio G81 handles messaging, social apps and calls without fuss. It is entry-level, so heavy gaming isn't its strength, but the basics run smoothly.
Both the main and selfie cameras are 50MP, unusual at this price, giving decent daylight photos and clear video calls. The 5260mAh battery comfortably lasts a full day.
Who should buy it on contract?
The X5c Plus is for buyers who want a big screen and dual 50MP cameras at the lowest possible cost. Sort by total cost and pick a light data plan on GetLow.
New and refurbished buying checks
Protect the saving before you order
Every current offer is listed as new. A low price is only good value when the condition, storage, warranty, returns terms and battery policy suit what you expect to receive.
Use total contract cost after any stated code as the first comparison, then check data and storage on the same basis. Availability can change as retailers update stock.
Confirm whether the selected listing is new or refurbished.
Check the exact storage and colour before leaving GetLow.
Read the warranty, returns and refurbished battery terms.
Compare the total contract cost rather than monthly price alone.

Specifications are manufacturer or catalogue claims, not GetLow laboratory measurements. Missing information is not a zero or proof that a feature is absent. Retailer stock and delivery can change before checkout.
No, it is a 4G phone. It works on 4G across UK networks, which is fine for everyday use but not as fast as 5G.
How are the cameras?
Both the main and selfie cameras are 50MP, which is unusual at this price and gives decent daylight photos and clear video calls.
How is the battery life?
The 5260mAh battery comfortably lasts a full day of typical use.
Is the screen sharp?
It is a large 6.74-inch LCD at HD+ resolution — big and usable, though not as sharp as pricier phones.
Is it good value on contract?
For budget buyers, yes. It keeps monthly costs low while covering the essentials; compare total cost and pick a light data plan.
The verdict
The Honor X5c Plus is a sensible budget choice: a big screen, dual 50MP cameras and all-day battery for very little. You give up 5G and a sharp screen, but for a cheap everyday phone it delivers. Compare it on GetLow by total contract cost.
