Honor’s X-series is getting a 5G twist. The Honor X7e Plus 5G has turned up in certification databases for the UAE and SGS, a common early sign of a wider regional launch in places such as Europe and the Middle East.
The new model carries the number MRK-NX1 and was filed with the UAE’s TDRA on June 11, 2026, under equipment registration number ER60470/26. The listing confirms 5G support, which cleanly separates it from the regular X7e, a 4G-only handset that recently went on sale in Malaysia.
What the Honor X7e Plus 5G certification filings reveal
The SGS appearance adds little in the way of flashy specs, but it does show the usual safety and compliance paperwork, including support for lithium batteries and approvals tied to EU and Saudi Arabian markets. That lines up with Honor’s habit of using the X series as a volume play: get the device certified first, then worry about the marketing later.
- Model number: MRK-NX1
- TDRA registration: ER60470/26
- TDRA filing date: June 11, 2026
- Confirmed feature: 5G support
What still needs to be announced
Honor has not disclosed the full spec sheet, pricing, or launch timing for the X7e Plus 5G. If the company wants this model to stand out, it will need more than the usual ”same phone, faster modem” treatment; in this price bracket, shoppers expect a concrete upgrade, not just a 5G badge and a polite press release.
The next clue should be a proper product listing, and the open question is whether Honor keeps the giant battery and ruggedness focus while adding a genuinely better chip. If it does, the X7e Plus 5G could become one of the more sensible affordable 5G launches to watch in the coming cycle.
