Review: HONOR X9

Published

on

HONOR launched its HONOR X Series a while ago and we had reviewed the X8, as well. This time around we have the new HONOR X9 5G. The X9 brings users a raft of innovative flagship features, a beyond exceptional experience, and extraordinary quality, all at an affordable price point.

The HONOR X9 comes packed with a 4800mAh long-lasting battery and it uses HONOR’s flagship fast charging technology, the 66W HONOR SuperCharge, to ensure you get from 0% to 50% in just 15 minutes and to 81% in just 30 mins. The HONOR X9 has also been designed with flagship-level 1.05mm super-narrow bezels, which HONOR says is 40% narrower than most smartphones in the same category.

The HONOR X9 also offers a screen-to-body ratio of 94%, thus giving you more screen real estate for an immersive entertainment experience while watching movies, indulging in gaming, and during web browsing.

The build quality and design of the HONOR X9 are quite good for a mid-range device. On the front of the device, you get a big 6.81-inches FHD+ HONOR FullView Display, that offers a refresh rate of 120 Hz. The display also offers advanced eye protection features to protect your eyes during prolonged smartphone usage.

Just above the display, you will find the 16MP front camera for all your selfie requirements. On the right edge of the device, you get the volume rockers and the power button which also doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. On the top edge, you get the speaker grille and a noise-cancelling microphone. On the bottom edge, you get the USB Type-C port, the dual SIM slot, speaker grille, and another noise-cancelling microphone.

At the rear, you will find the triple camera setup that includes the 48MP main camera, 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP bokeh camera. In terms of photography, you get lots of modes such as aperture, night, portrait, panorama, HDR, super macro and so on. In terms of videography, the HONOR X9 can shoot videos at 1080, and supports Dual View recording and micro movie production, through the Story mode.

Under the hood, the HONOR X9 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G Mobile Platform. You also get 8GB of RAM and a choice of either 128GB or 256GB of storage capacity. The HONOR X9 also supports the company’s RAM Turbo Technology that adds 2GB of RAM to the already existing 8GB, virtually, thus extending the total RAM capacity to 10GB. This is particularly useful when playing graphically demanding games and performing memory-intensive tasks.

The HONOR X9 also comes packed with a 4800mAh battery that in our real-world tests, offered more than a day’s worth of battery life. If you do run out of juice, though, you can rely on the 66W HONOR SuperCharge to quickly charge your X9 in minutes.

The overall performance of the HONOR X9 was very good, thanks to its solid specs. HONOR’s RAM Turbo further enhances the overall performance by converting a small portion of Read-Only Memory (ROM) into RAM, thus boosting efficiency. The RAM Turbo technology is particularly useful since it stops background processes from getting killed when you switch apps, ensuring you can make a video call or write a message when you are gaming or watching a movie. Apps will still be running in the background and waiting for you to pick up exactly where you left off.

Photography and videography features also perform on point, on the new HONOR X9. It does not matter whether you shoot photos or videos under good or low light conditions. The results are always consistent.

The HONOR X9 is priced at AED 1099 for the 8GB+128GB variant, while the 8GB+256GB variant is priced at AED 1199. The HONOR X9 is also the most advanced 5G smartphone in this price range. For such an affordable price point, you also get a smartphone that offers a good design and build quality, very good internals, HONOR’s RAM Turbo for enhanced performance, HONOR’s 66W SuperCharge, and very good photography and videography skills.

Price: AED 1099 (8GB+128GB), AED 1199 (8GB+256GB)

Buy the HONOR X9, now!
