Huawei sub-brand Honor has announced a new smartphone in China called the Honor X10 which is a successor to the Honor 9X launched last year. The reason it is called as X10 and 10X, is that Honor did not want to confuse its product with the Redmi 10X. In any case, the phone has been launched at a starting price of at CNY 1,899 or around INR 20,200. The device comes with Huawei’s latest mid-range silicone called the Kirin 820 SoC which is 5G-enabled. Let’s have a look at how the Honor X10 compares with its last two predecessors ie the Honor 9X and Honor 8X.

Honor X10 vs Honor 9X vs Honor 8X: Price
Being a 5G-ready device and having the latest chipset does make the starting price shoot up a bit. While the Honor X10 has been launched in China, if it were to make its way to India the price would more-or-less remain the same. Converting from CNY to INR, the X10 stands at a price of Rs 20,000. The Honor 9X and Honor 8X, in comparison, had been launched in India for Rs 13,999 and Rs 14,999 respectively.
