Honor Tech has released its second smartphone in India after the Honor 90, which was launched last year with little fanfare. The Honor X9b has made its debut today with a Snapdragon chipset, a 108MP loaded camera system and an anti-drop display. As speculated, the phone is priced under 30,000 in the country and is all set to compete with the likes of Redmi Note 13 Pro and Realme 12 Pro. So let's look at the specifications, key features and price details of the Honor X9b.
Honor X9b Honest Review: The UNBREAKABLE SMARTPHONE???
The Honor X9b comes with a 6.78-inch curved display with a 1.5K Full-HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. But the highlight is the Ultra-Bounce 360° Anti-Drop Resistance protection for the screen. It's supposed to cushion all sides from a drop of up to 1.5 meters, even on hard surfaces, but we'll have to put that claim to the test. The panel has a peak brightness of 1200 nits and also features 1920Hz PWM dimming to reduce fluctuations in low brightness.
As for the internals, the phone is powered by Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 along with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Another highlight is its massive 5,800 mAh battery, which should have up to 3 days of standby time, according to Honor. The Honor X9b also supports 35W fast charging, but the charger is not included in the box.
The circular camera island comes with a 108MP primary camera with f/1.75 aperture, 5MP ultra-wide and a 2MP macro camera. The main camera can record videos up to 4K resolution and uses Honor's Super-Fast Freeze Moments Motion Capture Engine to capture sharp images even in low light. You also have a 16 MP selfie shooter in a hole on the front.
