Honor X6c Price Hiked in Nepal: But It Has Something Rivals Don’t

The Honor X6c launched as an entry-level smartphone all the way back in July 2025. Now, as we approach the end of 2026, I honestly thought Honor was done with the phone. But it’s back again, and with yet another price hike.

The phone previously got a price hike in early 2026, just like pretty much every other phone. So, where does this new price hike put the Honor X6c? Let’s find out.

What is the Price of Honor X6c in Nepal?

The Honor X6c price in Nepal now starts at Rs. 26,999 (6/128GB) and Rs. 28,999 (6/256GB). The phone initially launched at just Rs. 16,999, meaning its starting price has gone up by a whopping Rs. 10,000.

And this isn’t the first price hike the phone has seen. The X6c has already gone through multiple price increases. With its successors, the X6d and X6e, already available globally, I honestly thought the X6c had simply run out of stock. To my surprise, Honor has restocked the X6c, and the phone is once again available to purchase at Honor-authorized stores across Nepal.

Honor was also quite quick to bring the X6c to Nepal. The phone launched here just a month after its global debut. It certainly launched as a budget device, but the specs didn’t exactly match the price, even back then.

However, the smartphone market has changed quite a bit since then. With prices going up across the board, some of the older, pre-price-hike smartphones have become rare gems that offer surprisingly good price-to-performance.

So, is the more-than-a-year-old Honor X6c one of those phones? Let’s find out.

Honor X6c Overview

Design

At first glance, the new Honor X6c looks nearly identical to its sibling, the X6b, especially with its squarish camera module featuring four circular cutouts. As with the previous model, only two are actual cameras accompanied by a flash, while the fourth cutout is purely decorative.

Like most budget phones, it features a plastic body. However, the addition of IP64-rated dust and water resistance is a welcome upgrade, as the previous model lacked any official ingress protection.

You’ll find the usual volume rocker and a power button that doubles as a fingerprint scanner on the right side. This year, there’s also an additional AI button on the left—but more on that later.

Display

Moving to the front, the phone finally gets an upgrade from a 60Hz to a 120Hz refresh rate. But with most budget, even entry-level, phones already offering high refresh rates, this isn’t exactly groundbreaking. What’s more disappointing is that the X6c still uses a traditional TFT LCD panel, which means subpar viewing angles.

The phone now features a punch-hole cutout for its selfie camera, a nod in the right direction, since almost every budget smartphone now uses a water-drop notch. So the phone will definitely feel a bit premium.

The resolution remains mostly the same as last year, sticking to an HD+ (1604 x 720 pixels) panel. However, brightness gets a boost, with up to 1010 nits in High Brightness Mode (HBM).

Unfortunately, like most budget phones, it still comes with a noticeably thick bottom bezel.

Hardware

Get ready for more disappointment as the MediaTek Helio G81 powers the phone. As for memory, we are still getting 6GB RAM with 128GB or 256GB internal storage. Since it’s a new stock, I would have appreciated an 8GB model, but I guess 6GB is fine too.

Battery-wise, there’s a minor upgrade with a 5,300mAh cell that supports 35W Honor SuperCharge.

Cameras

The camera department remains unchanged, featuring the same 50MP main sensor alongside an auxiliary lens. Interestingly, this time, Honor hasn’t even bothered to mention the secondary lens in the official spec sheet—a sign of how insignificant it is.

On the front, you’re still getting the same 5MP selfie camera that’s been around since the Honor X6a. Both the front and rear cameras are limited to 1080p video recording at 30fps.

OS and AI

On the software side, the X6c runs Android 15 with Honor’s MagicOS 9 skin on top. In 2026, Android 15 is basically ancient at this point, and with no future upgrades in sight, this is the version you’ll be stuck with.

As for AI features, it includes an AI eraser and a dedicated AI button that can translate text, identify objects (circle-to-search), and solve basic math problems.

The button also lets you launch commands and access frequently launched apps. Now, this does not exactly fall in the “AI” realm, but it is a nice feature nevertheless.

Honor X6c Price in Nepal and Availability

The Honor X6c price in Nepal is Rs. 26,999 (6/128GB) and Rs. 28,999 (6/256GB). It is available for purchase at all official stores across Nepal.

I think it’s good that they brought in the X6c again. The raw performance isn’t that impressive, and you can even get 5G phones like the Ai+ Nova 2 or the X6c’s own successor, the X6d, which will definitely offer more power.

But the Honor X6c does have one thing going for it, and that’s RAM. Almost every brand currently offers only 4GB of RAM with 128GB storage, so finding a phone with 6GB is like finding a needle in a haystack.

So while most phones may offer more performance, they’ll likely struggle with multitasking, with apps constantly reloading in the background whenever you switch between them. And while the X6c’s performance is entry-level, that extra RAM should help apps stay open longer and keep everyday use feeling a lot smoother.

All in all, the X6c isn’t the most powerful option out there, but for buyers who care about smooth multitasking on a budget, that extra RAM makes it a surprisingly sensible pick.
