The mid-range Honor X7e Plus 5G smartphone has just been joined by a new model – limited to 4G connectivity but with a better camera. Honor Band 11 and Honor Band 11 Pro also debuted.
The base model of Honor Band 11 shares much with the previous generation of the smart band. New features include an increased battery capacity of 250 mAh, extending battery life from 14 to 18 days, and a larger range of sports modes – now 113. Its 1.57-inch OLED display has a resolution of 256 x 402 and a 60 Hz refresh rate. The casing is made of reinforced polymer fiber and offers 5 ATM water resistance. The entire band is 8.99 mm thick and weighs 15.3 grams.
Honor Band 11 Pro has a larger 1.61-inch screen with a typical brightness of 700 nits and a peak brightness of 2000 nits. Its 400 mAh battery provides up to 26 days of battery life. In addition to the sports and health features offered by the Honor Band 11, the Pro version offers NFC, built-in GPS, and Bluetooth calling.

Most of the Honor X7e Plus's specifications are identical to those of Honor X7e Plus 5G, although the processor is naturally different – in this case, it's the Snapdragon 685, accompanied by 6 GB of RAM, 256 GB of internal storage, and the Android 16 operating system with the MagicOS 10 interface. The 108 MP main camera performs better, although the 5 MP front selfie camera looks poor in comparison. The 6.87-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1592 x 720 pixels also looks modest, but its strong point remains the 8100 mAh battery that charges at 45W. Honor X7e Plus 5G also offers NFC and IP68, IP69, and IP69X waterproofing.
Honor Band 11 is available in Sea Salt White, Taro Purple, and Caviar Black. It costs 229 yuan, or approximately $34, €29. Honor Band 11 Pro with NFC is available in white, black, and green variants and costs 299 yuan ($, €38), while Honor Band 11 Pro is additionally available in Honey Brown and costs 349 yuan ($52, €45). Honor X7e Plus is expected to be available in Sunrise Orange, Desert Gold, and Velvet Black, but pricing has not yet been announced, though the official product page suggests global availability.
