The competition in the smartphone industry has gotten much stronger in recent years. Users are no longer satisfied with just a sleek appearance. The combination of form, competing pricing, together with the ability to offer feature-rich smartphones, has now become the deciding factor to buy or upgrade your smart device.

Honor just announced the launch of the Honor X9 5G, its latest strong all-rounder smartphone and the newest member of Honor’s reliable Honor X Series. It packs a raft of innovative flagship features, a beyond exceptional experience and extraordinary quality, all at an affordable price point that won’t break the budget. 

Honor X9 - Features

In the 5G era and with the popularisation of apps like games, videos and social media that consume huge amounts of power, there are new demands for mobile phone with powerful battery life and fast charging speeds. Today, with a quick 5 minutes of charging, users can enjoy 3.6 hours of watching videos on YouTube, 5.9 hours of calling, 2.9 hours of gaming or 3.8 hours of Facebook browsing.

Honor X9 5G supports Honor’s innovative 66W Honor Wired SuperCharge technology, which can juice up the Honor X9 5G by 50% from flat in just 15 minutes and 81% in just 30 mins, the fastest achieved among smartphones of the same grade and smartphones in the same category which can charge only 54% in 30 minutes.

One of the main features of a modern smartphone is its display and, on the Honor, X9 5G, you get a whole lot of it. Sized at a massive 6.81-inch FullView Display, the highest achieved among smartphones of the same grade and in the same category that feature a maximum 6.43” or 6.5” display.

Honor X9 5G supports a full high-definition of 2388*1080 pixels and 16.7 million colours, which enhances clarity, offers a true-to-life viewing experience, and brings users the ideal companion for watching movies, browsing photos or gaming with friends.

The all-new smartphone has been designed with flagship level 1.05mm super-narrow bezels, 40% narrower than most smartphones in the same category. Honor X9 5G delivers an exceptional screen-to-body ratio of 94% and presenting a truly immersive entertainment experience for cinematic movies and gaming and optimised web browsing.

Whereas other brands within the same category have largely designed their phones with 60Hz or 90Hz Screen Refresh Rate, the Honor X9 5G goes far beyond. It supports a screen refresh rate of 120Hz and 60 fps, ensuring users can enjoy a superior gaming and app browsing experience, delivering enhanced performance, and a smoother web scrolling and gaming experience.

This technology in Honor X9 5G allows the user to work simultaneously around 35 apps compared to competition which is just 15 apps at a given point of time.
