After the launch of its flagship Honor 20 series, the Chinese giant has now launched its Honor 9X and 9X Pro smartphones to tackle the budget and mid-range segment. It will take on the growing presence of Redmi and Realme phones in the market, with quite a similar strategy. Honor 9X series brings a fullscreen display, a pop-up camera, and a powerful Kirin chipset in tow.
The Honor 9X has been priced starting at 1,399 yuan (roughly Rs 14,000) for the base 4GB+64GB variant. You’re required to shell out 1,599 yuan (roughly Rs 16,000) for the 6GB+64GB variant and 1,899 yuan (roughly Rs 19,000) for the 6GB+128GB variant.
You must have already noticed in all the teasers, Honor has used a 21-layer process to achieve the astounding X-shaped pattern on the rear panel of the Honor 9X series. It’s calling it the X-shaped rhythmic diamond texture and thought it’s too blingy, but everyone should appreciate the efforts Honor has put to highlight its X branding.
In line with the rumors, the Honor 9X series is powered by the newly launched Kirin 810 chipset which is said to be more powerful than the Snapdragon 730, which can be found in the Redmi K20. This is paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB onboard storage. Honor 9X series runs Android 9 Pie-based EMUI 9 out-of-the-box.
