Honor X7c
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until October 2028 · Buy-by October 2026
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~4-year update track record — on that basis the X7c should be supported until around October 2028. Buying it today still gets you about 2.3 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

TrueCost
Street price ÷ months of safe use remaining — the number that makes cheap short-lived phones expensive, and well-supported ones cheap.
1% cheaper than the under-$300 median ($6.88/mo, dying phones excluded)
Our verdict
A big-battery budget phone with a headline 108MP camera and a roomy 120Hz screen, with estimated support to 2028.
Pros
- Huge 6000mAh battery easily lasts well past a full day
- 108MP main sensor is unusual at this price
- Estimated security patches through around 2028
Cons
- Snapdragon 685 is entry-level and not built for heavy gaming
- Only an HD+ LCD panel, and the 4G model has no 5G
