As promised time and again, Honor has today ended the drought and launched the Honor 9X in India. It’s a successor to the Honor 8X that was launched a long time ago — back in October 2018. Honor 9X was first launched in China back in July last year and features an attractive gradient design, a mid-range Kirin chipset, a pop-up selfie camera, and more.
Before I go ahead, I would like to point out the Honor 9X Indian variant has some minor differences as compared to the Chinese one. There’s an upgraded rear camera setup but sadly, the internals has been downgraded.
The device is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 710F chipset (12nm, 4x Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2.2GHz + 4x Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.7GHz), paired with up to 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. This is a huge letdown as the Honor 9X landed in China with the new 7nm Kirin 810F chipset, which would have been more powerful and power-efficient.
Price and Availability
Honor 9X has been priced at Rs. 13,999 in India for the 4GB+128GB base variant and Rs. 16,999 for the higher-end 6GB+128GB variant.
