Honor X9b Detailed Features
Honor X9b Camera
Camera performance is not good. Neither of its three rear-facing cameras performs up to expectations in daylight and things only get worse in low light conditions.
Honor X9b Durable Display
The Honor X9b flaunts a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display, which produces a 1.5K resolution with 2652×1220 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate and offers 1200 nits peak brightness. It delivers vibrant colors and excellent visibility even under direct sunlight.
Honor X9b Sleek and Stylish Design
While we know that design is subjective, the Honor X9b looks good. Its lightweight and slim profile (7.98mm) with rounded edges gives it a comfortable grip. It comes in two color options in India: Sunrise Orange and Midnight Black.
The Honor X9b from HTech has a rear panel and frame made from polycarbonate. The phone offers a unique Ultra-Bounce technology which protects its display from 1.5 metre drops. The device is also IP53-rated for dust and water resistance.
Honor X9b Capable Battery Life
The massive battery is a powerhouse. During our tests, it consistently delivered a full day and a half of usage on a single charge, with an impressive 8.5 hours of screen-on-time under moderate use.
Battery life with the large battery is rock solid and makes this otherwise slim device a proper road warrior. However, charging is quite slow when compared to most devices at this price point. Moreover, Honor does not offer a charger in the box.
Honor X9b Decent Software Experience
The Honor X9b runs Android 13 with Honor’s Magic UI on top. The skin opens up a lot of possibilities for customization. Performance is good for daily use but is mostly mid-range when it comes to gaming. Magic OS offers some interesting software features but comes with the regular Huawei bloatware.
Honor X9b Sufficient for Everyday Performance
The Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC handles everyday tasks like browsing, social media, and video streaming easily.
