Performance
Under the hood, the Honor X5b is powered by a Mediatek Helio G36 chipset, built on a 12nm process. The octa-core configuration, split between four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.2 GHz and four at 1.6 GHz, provides adequate performance for everyday tasks such as browsing, social media, and light gaming. The PowerVR GE8320 GPU supports graphics processing, which handles most casual games quite effectively, though it might struggle with more demanding titles.
The device comes with 4GB of RAM, which is acceptable for running applications smoothly in this segment. Coupled with 64GB of internal storage, it offers sufficient space for apps, photos, and media, with the flexibility of expansion via a microSDXC slot, thus alleviating concerns about running out of space.
