Honor 9X 128GB

The HONOR 9X uses a completely bezel-less screen, unlike the HONOR 8X’s screen which had a waterdrop-shaped notch. The newer phone has a 6.59-inch LTPS IPS LCD screen panel with Full HD+ resolution (2340x1080 pixels), 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and a capacitive touchscreen. There’s a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, which makes up for an ergonomic design as well as makes way for a bezel-less screen. The phone uses a plastic chassis but there are glass panels on the front and the rear. The rear of the phone has a beautiful X-shaped pattern that glimmers when light hits the glass surface at different angles.

The HONOR 9X uses the company’s Kirin 710F processor. The Kiri 710F uses a 12nm lithography process for a smaller footprint and improved power efficiency. The chipset has four ARM Cortex-A73 CPU cores clocked at 2.2GHz, four ARM Cortex-A53 CPU cores clocked at 1.7GHz, and the ARM Mali-G51 MP4 GPU. There’s at least 4GB of RAM and at least 64GB of internal storage. There’s a hybrid microSD card slot for storage space expansion. The HONOR 9X runs Android 9 Pie-based EMUI 9.0 software. The phone might not get the Android 10-based EMUI 10 update, though.

The HONOR 9X uses a triple-camera setup for its rear-facing camera. Also, in sync with 2019’s smartphone imaging trend, the phone uses a 48MP primary sensor. There is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2MP depth sensor for capturing images with background blur. The 48MP camera sensor has PDAF, F1.8 aperture, 1/2-inch sensor, and 1080p 60fps video recording. HONOR has used a motorized pop-up mechanism to hide its front-facing camera. It’s a 16MP camera with F2.2 aperture and 1080p 30fps video recording.

The HONOR 9X is equipped with a larger battery to power a more potent processor. It comes packed with a 4000mAh non-removable battery. The phone comes bundled with a 10W charger. The HONOR 9X features not only dual-SIM card slot, but also dual-4G LTE, dual-VoLTE, and dual-band Wi-Fi b/g/n/ac. Other connectivity features of the phone include A-GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Bluetooth 5.0, USB 2.0 Type-C port, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
