The Honor X5c with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage is available at Mascom International for KSh 14,800, brand new and sealed, and in stock today. The Honor X5c pairs a 6.74-inch 90Hz screen with a MediaTek Helio G81 octa-core chip and a 5260mAh battery that charges at 15W. It runs Android 15 with Honor's MagicOS 9 out of the box. You can see the Honor X5c in person at our shop in the Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, where our staff will power one on for you before you pay.
Built for university students, sales teams, boda boda riders and parents across Kenya, the Honor X5c handles the jobs most people do all day. Calls, WhatsApp groups, M-Pesa payments, YouTube and Google Maps all run on it without fuss. The usual problem with phones at this price is a battery that quits by evening and a cramped screen. The Honor X5c answers both: the 5260mAh cell carries a long matatu commute and a full working day, and the large display makes reading statements and long messages easy. A 3.5mm headphone jack and FM radio stay on board too.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops expect payment before you have tried the phone, Mascom International lets you hold, switch on and test the Honor X5c before any money changes hands. Customers across Nairobi tell us that is what they value most when buying an entry-level phone. Against pricier models, the Honor X5c gives up some speed and camera detail, but it keeps the battery and screen size that matter for daily use. Visit us on Kimathi Street, or order on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery to any of the 47 counties.
Common Questions About the Honor X5c
How much is the Honor X5c 64GB in Kenya?
The Honor X5c with 64GB storage and 4GB RAM costs KSh 14,800 at Mascom International in Nairobi, sold sealed in its box. For that amount you get the phone with the Honor charger and USB-C cable in the box, and you can choose pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya. It is sold without a local warranty, so test it in our store or on delivery before paying. If you want more room, the Honor X6c with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage costs KSh 20,000, which is KSh 5,200 more.
Should I buy the Honor X5c or the Honor X6c?
Buy the Honor X5c if KSh 14,800 is your ceiling and your phone mainly handles calls, chats, mobile money and social media. The Honor X6c costs KSh 20,000, doubles the storage to 128GB and adds 2GB more RAM, so more apps stay open and you delete photos less often. Choose the Honor X6c if you shoot a lot of video, keep many apps installed or plan to keep the phone for three years or more. Choose the Honor X5c if the KSh 5,200 saving matters more than extra space.
Does the Honor X5c work on Safaricom, Airtel and Telkom 4G?
Yes, the Honor X5c supports 4G LTE and works with Safaricom, Airtel Kenya and Telkom SIM cards across Kenya. It takes two nano-SIM cards, so you can keep a Safaricom line for M-Pesa and an Airtel line for data bundles. It does not support 5G, so it will not connect to Safaricom's 5G network even in towns where that service is live. For most users this is not a problem, since 4G handles video calls, streaming and browsing well. Dual SIM standby means both numbers ring on one handset.
How long does the Honor X5c battery last on one charge?
The Honor X5c carries a 5260mAh battery, which gets most owners through a full day of calls, chats, browsing and some video on one charge. Light users often reach the next morning before plugging in. It charges at 15W through USB-C with the charger in the box, which is slower than pricier phones, so overnight charging or a top-up at your desk works best. During KPLC power cuts, a small power bank in your bag keeps the phone running until the lights come back on.
Who should buy the Honor X5c, and who should skip it?
The Honor X5c suits Kenyatta University and JKUAT students, first-time smartphone owners, parents and staff who need a dependable second phone for a work line. It is for people who value battery life, a big screen and two SIM slots over speed. Skip it if you play demanding games, edit video or take many low-light photos. Heavy users should look at the Honor X7d 4G with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage at KSh 30,000, also in stock at Mascom International, or the Honor X6c at KSh 20,000 as a middle step.
Can the Honor X5c run games like PUBG Mobile and Free Fire?
The Honor X5c runs light games well and handles PUBG Mobile and Free Fire at lower graphics settings. Its MediaTek Helio G81 chip pairs two 2.0GHz performance cores with six 1.7GHz efficiency cores and a Mali-G52 MC2 graphics unit. That is entry-level hardware, so expect longer loading screens and lower frame rates in big battles. Casual titles such as Ludo King, Candy Crush and football management games run without trouble. If gaming is your main reason for buying, the Honor X7d 4G at KSh 30,000 is the better fit.
Is the Honor X5c camera good enough for everyday photos?
The Honor X5c camera is fine for daylight photos, documents and social media posts. Units sold in Kenya carry a 13MP rear camera with an f/2.2 lens and LED flash, plus a 5MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Both cameras record video at 1080p and 30 frames per second. Expect clear shots outdoors and softer, grainier results indoors at night. Photographers and content creators who need sharper night shots should step up to a higher model in the Honor line-up.
Is 64GB enough on the Honor X5c, or do I need a memory card?
For a typical user, 64GB on the Honor X5c is enough for WhatsApp, banking apps, social media and a few thousand photos. Part of that space goes to Android and MagicOS, so plan around what is left. The phone takes a microSDXC memory card, but the card shares its slot with the second SIM. That means you choose between two lines, or one line plus extra storage. Backing up photos to Google Photos or a computer keeps space free without giving up a SIM.
Technical Specifications
Display and Build
- 6.74-inch TFT LCD screen — a large canvas for WhatsApp threads, YouTube clips and reading long documents without zooming.
- 720 x 1600 HD+ resolution at about 260 pixels per inch — text and icons look clear at normal reading distance.
- 90Hz refresh rate — the screen redraws 90 times a second, so scrolling through chats and feeds looks fluid.
- 20:9 tall format with about 85% screen-to-body ratio — thin borders let more of a page fit on screen.
- 167 x 77 x 7.9 mm body weighing 186g — slim enough for a trouser pocket and light enough for long calls.
Processor and Performance
- MediaTek Helio G81 chip built on a 12nm process — an entry-level chip aimed at daily apps and long battery life.
- Octa-core CPU with two 2.0GHz Cortex-A75 cores for heavier bursts and six 1.7GHz Cortex-A55 cores for background tasks.
- Mali-G52 MC2 graphics — the part that draws games and video, fine for casual titles at lower settings.
- Android 15 with MagicOS 9 — Honor's own layer on top of Android, with Google Play for installing apps.
- Day-to-day tasks such as calls, messaging, browsing and banking apps open quickly, while heavy 3D games load more slowly.
Memory and Storage
- 4GB RAM — the phone's short-term memory, enough to keep a handful of everyday apps ready to switch between.
- 64GB internal storage — room for apps, music, documents and thousands of photos before you need to clear space.
- About 3MB per 13MP photo — every 10GB of free space holds roughly 3,300 pictures.
- 1080p video uses about 130MB a minute — 10GB stores roughly 75 minutes of family events or recorded lectures.
- microSDXC card slot shared with SIM 2 — add space for music and videos when one line is enough.
Camera
- 13MP main camera with an f/2.2 lens on Middle East and Africa units — sharp daylight photos for social media and paperwork.
- LED flash — lights up close subjects, receipts and documents in dim rooms or at night.
- HDR and panorama modes — HDR balances bright skies with dark shadows, and panorama stitches wide views into one image.
- 5MP front camera with an f/2.2 lens — clear enough for video calls, selfies and online classes.
- 1080p video at 30fps on both cameras — Full HD clips ready to share on WhatsApp, TikTok or YouTube.
Battery and Charging
- 5260mAh lithium-polymer battery — mAh measures how much charge the cell holds, and this size covers a full day of mixed use.
- 15W wired charging — a moderate speed, so plugging in overnight or at your desk suits it best.
- USB Type-C 2.0 port — the reversible plug most new phones use, so spare cables are easy to find.
- USB OTG support — connect a flash drive or keyboard straight to the phone through a small adapter.
- Charging adapter and cable included in the box — no extra purchase needed to start using the phone.
Connectivity and Network Support
- 4G LTE data with 2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900 and 3G 850/900/1900/2100 bands — calls continue where 4G coverage drops.
- Dual nano-SIM — two numbers on one phone, with the second slot shared by the memory card.
- Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 on 2.4GHz and 5GHz — faster, steadier internet at home or in the office.
- Bluetooth 5.1 with aptX HD — wireless earbuds and car stereos pair easily with good sound quality.
