Overview
The Honor X5b is a budget phone from Honor, with an unverified reference price of about JOD 49 (about $70) — an estimate, not a confirmed market price. Below is its full spec sheet with a plain-language breakdown, pros and cons, and how it compares to its rivals. We have not tested this phone ourselves; everything here is derived from published specifications.
Its main highlights: its large 5,200 mAh battery. Its chipset is basic (14/100) — calls, WhatsApp and light browsing, as a first or backup phone.
Performance-index rank: #192 of 234 Honor phones we list.
Why consider it?
The Honor X5b is an unambiguous entry phone: a 6.56-inch HD+ panel running at 90Hz, an eight-core Helio G36, 4GB of RAM with 64GB of storage expandable to 1TB by microSD, and a 5200mAh battery (Honor lists 5100mAh as the rated figure). The one solid reason to spend ≈ 49 here is that 90Hz plus a memory-card slot is an uncommon pairing at a level where most phones still ship 60Hz screens.
Who it suits
A sensible pick for a second handset, a student's first phone or an older relative: calls, WhatsApp, YouTube and light browsing, with photo storage you can grow with a card.
Who should look elsewhere
Skip it if you shoot a lot, play demanding games, or keep many apps open at once — 4GB of physical RAM and a chip of this class run out of room quickly.
Performance, camera, display and battery — and the limits of the evidence
The Helio G36 is an entry-tier part; it sits at 14 out of 100 on our index, which only ranks devices inside our own catalogue and says nothing about how the phone will feel a year in. Honor's own product page describes a 13MP main rear camera and names no true ultrawide, no optical zoom and no OIS, so any zooming is digital and the resulting images depend on processing rather than on the megapixel figure. The 6.56-inch screen is HD+ with a claimed 530 nits: 90Hz makes scrolling visibly smoother, but that resolution across this diagonal means modest pixel density, and a brightness figure quoted in a lab does not guarantee readability under Amman sun. A 5200mAh cell alongside a low-power chip and a low-resolution panel is a combination that leans in favour of longevity between charges, yet Honor publishes no charging wattage on the product page, so refill speed is something we cannot state. There is also no published commitment on OS upgrades or years of security patches, which matters to the phone's usable life more than any line on the spec sheet.
Alternatives worth comparing
- Galaxy A06 — At effectively the same price (≈ 49), the Galaxy A06 brings a Helio G85 (26 out of 100 on our index versus 14) and 25W charging support, in exchange for a 60Hz screen and a 5000mAh battery. (49 JOD · estimate) full comparison ›

Verdict — conditional on your needs and the documented price above
It is worth ≈ 49 if you want something simple with a 90Hz screen, a 5200mAh battery and microSD expansion, and your expectations stay in that lane. If app responsiveness or photography matters, stretch the budget instead of betting on 4GB of RAM and a single 13MP camera.

Phones JO index (spec-based)
What does that mean in plain words?
Chipset: Helio G36 — basic tier (14/100): calls, WhatsApp and light browsing.
Battery: 5,200 mAh — a large capacity by market standards. Capacity is an indicator, not a measurement: real endurance depends on the display, chipset and your usage, and we have not measured it.
Charging: 10W — standard (rated charging power; actual charge time varies with the charger and temperature).
Display: IPS LCD HD+, 6.56-inch — an LCD panel; lower contrast than OLED, and the norm at this price.
Camera: 13 MP (1 lens) plus a 5 MP front camera. Megapixels and lens count describe the setup, not image quality — real results depend on the sensor and processing, which we have not tested.

Pros & cons
Pros
- A 6.56-inch panel at 90Hz, unusual at a level dominated by 60Hz screens
- 5200mAh battery (5100mAh rated) paired with a low-draw chip and low-resolution display
- microSD support up to 1TB, so the 64GB base is not a ceiling for photos and files
Cons
- Only 4GB of physical RAM; the RAM Turbo feature borrows from storage and is not equivalent to real memory
- Honor's page lists a 13MP main camera with no ultrawide, no optical zoom and no OIS
- No published OS-upgrade or security-support commitment, and Honor does not even state a charging wattage on the device page
