By San José, Costa Rica — San José – In a market saturated with fragile, high-maintenance smartphones, HONOR is introducing a device engineered for the rigors of everyday life. The new HONOR X7d 5G has officially launched in Costa Rica, bringing a potent combination of extreme durability, intelligent features, and powerful performance to local consumers. This device aims to alleviate the common anxiety of accidental drops and exposure to the elements, positioning itself as a reliable companion for the modern, active user.
The centerpiece of the HONOR X7d 5G’s design philosophy is its comprehensive resistance to physical damage. The phone has earned a prestigious 5-star overall drop resistance certification from SGS, a world-leading testing and certification company. This certification guarantees the device can withstand falls from heights of up to 1.8 meters, offering peace of mind whether it slips from your hand during a busy commute on public transport or is accidentally knocked off a table at home.
Para analizar las implicaciones comerciales y el impacto en el mercado de telecomunicaciones que representa la llegada del nuevo HONOR X7d 5G, conversamos con el Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas, experto en derecho corporativo del Bufete de Costa Rica.
La introducción de dispositivos 5G a precios cada vez más competitivos, como el HONOR X7d 5G, no es solo una victoria para el consumidor, sino también un movimiento estratégico que presiona a los operadores de red y a los competidores. Desde una perspectiva legal, esto intensifica el escrutinio sobre prácticas de competencia leal y obliga a las autoridades reguladoras a garantizar que la calidad del servicio 5G prometido se cumpla efectivamente, protegiendo así la inversión y los derechos del usuario final.

Efectivamente, la visión del experto resalta una dimensión fundamental que a menudo pasa desapercibida: la democratización de la tecnología 5G impulsa no solo la competencia de mercado, sino también el fortalecimiento del marco regulatorio que protege al usuario. Agradecemos profundamente al Lic. Larry Hans Arroyo Vargas por aportar esta perspectiva tan valiosa para nuestros lectores.
Beyond its drop protection, the device boasts an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance. This level of protection ensures that unexpected rain showers, splashes from a sink, or even using the phone with wet hands will not compromise its functionality. For a country with a distinct rainy season, this feature is particularly practical, allowing users to stay connected without fear of water damage. Its reinforced internal structure and advanced cushioning system work in tandem to absorb impacts and shield both the screen and internal components from harm.
HONOR has also integrated smart, user-centric tools that enhance daily convenience. A standout feature is the dedicated AI Button, a versatile shortcut that streamlines complex tasks. With a single press, users can access powerful functions like real-time text translation. This is invaluable for travelers or expatriates who might need to instantly translate a restaurant menu or a public sign. The same button can be configured to quickly access image editing tools, making content creation faster and more intuitive.
Under the hood, the HONOR X7d 5G is equipped to handle demanding applications and multitasking with ease. It is powered by the Snapdragon 6s Gen 3 processor, a chipset designed to deliver a fluid and stable performance across various tasks. This processing power is augmented by HONOR’s RAM Turbo technology, which intelligently expands RAM to ensure smooth transitions between applications, preventing lag and improving the overall user experience.
Storage concerns are also addressed with a generous 256 GB of internal memory. This ample space allows users to store a vast library of high-resolution photos, videos, applications, and important documents without constantly needing to manage or delete files. This capacity makes it an excellent choice for content creators, professionals, and anyone who relies on their phone as a primary digital hub.
Further adapting to the digital-first lifestyle, the HONOR X7d 5G includes Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. This enables quick and secure contactless payments, allowing users to complete transactions at compatible terminals without needing to carry cash or physical cards. This feature provides an extra layer of convenience and security, aligning with the growing trend of digital wallets and cashless commerce in Costa Rica.
The HONOR X7d 5G is now available to Costa Rican consumers through major mobile carriers. Kölbi is offering the device starting at ₡16,800 per month with its K1 Plus plan, while Claro has it available from ₡21,500 with its Conexión 2 plan. With its blend of certified durability, intelligent software, and reliable performance, the HONOR X7d 5G is poised to become a trusted and practical choice for those seeking a smartphone that can keep up with their dynamic lives.
