Honor launches the X5d s, a smartphone that includes a screen on its back, joining a growing trend set by other brands. The Citizen describes the device as an “affordable” dual-screen phone, while GSMArena frames it as Honor joining the rear-display race started by recent phones with rear screens.
Across coverage, the key differentiator is the rear-facing display. GSMArena ties the concept to earlier models such as Xiaomi’s 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max (and their successors), noting that other Chinese makers are beginning to adopt the same idea. It also emphasizes that the X5d s is not positioned as a high-end model, citing a 6.78-inch LCD main screen. Both sources agree that the X5d s is meant to bring the rear-screen feature to a lower price segment, rather than focusing on flagship specifications.
While the outlets align on the overall concept and positioning, they differ in depth: GSMArena provides more detail about display sizing and the broader history of rear-screen phones, whereas The Citizen gives a shorter overview focused on affordability and the dual-screen format.
