Honor is quickly expanding its affordable X-series with a 5G version of the recently launched X7e. The new model, called the Honor X7e Plus 5G, has already popped up in certification databases, suggesting it’ll be heading to markets like the UAE, Europe, and the Middle East pretty soon.

The phone first appeared on the UAE’s TDRA certification platform with equipment registration number ER60470/26, filed on June 11, 2026. The listing clearly shows the model number MRK-NX1 and confirms 5G support, a step up from the regular 4G-only X7e. It also showed up earlier on the SGS certification database (number FI-69290), with standard safety info like support for lithium batteries and compliance for EU and Saudi Arabian markets.

For those who haven’t seen the original Honor X7e yet, it launched recently in Malaysia as a value-packed 4G phone. It comes with a massive 7500mAh battery and 45W fast charging, a 6.61-inch HD+ LCD screen with up to 120Hz refresh rate, and a MediaTek Helio G81 Ultra processor. It runs Android 16 with MagicOS 10 and includes IP64 dust and water resistance as a nice touch. Honor also gave it strong durability certifications, including SGS 5-star drop and crush resistance.

Since the certifications for the X7e Plus 5G don’t share full specs yet, we don’t know exactly what’s under the hood. But the move to 5G likely means a more capable chipset that can not only offer faster connectivity but also handle heavier apps and games relatively better.

We’re still waiting for the full specs, pricing, and exact launch dates, but things are moving fast. If you’re in the market for an affordable 5G phone with excellent battery stamina, the Honor X7e Plus 5G looks like one to keep an eye on.
