This in-depth review will cover my experiences with the Middle East Version of this Dual SIM, 4GB RAM, 64GB device, focusing on everyday usage, performance under pressure, and overall value.
Features
The X5 Plus boasts a sleek Midnight Black finish. The 6.56-inch LCD screen with a 90Hz refresh rate is surprisingly vibrant, making scrolling through apps and browsing the web a smooth experience. The dual rear camera system (50MP + 2MP) and 5MP front-facing camera offer a decent photographic capability for its price point.

Performance
For everyday tasks, the X5 Plus performs admirably. App loading times are generally quick, and multitasking is smooth, although pushing it with demanding games resulted in some noticeable lag. The 90Hz refresh rate made a tangible difference in the smoothness of the user interface. The battery consistently lasted a full day, even with heavy use, making it a strong point. Camera quality is acceptable for casual snapshots, but don’t expect professional-level results. The fingerprint sensor worked reliably and quickly.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Long battery life, smooth 90Hz display, responsive fingerprint sensor, good value for money.
- Cons: Performance can lag under heavy load, camera quality is average, LCD screen not AMOLED.
Final Verdict
The X5 Plus (Woody-L42C / WOD-LX2) provides a solid budget smartphone experience. The long battery life and smooth display are significant advantages. While it might struggle with demanding tasks, it’s perfectly capable for everyday users who prioritize battery life and a fluid UI. If you are looking for a reliable, affordable phone, I would recommend the X5 Plus.
