Honor X9b Review: Price in India
The Honor X9b is available with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and is priced at Rs. 25,999. The phone is offered in two colorways. The Midnight Black colourway offers a basic polycarbonate rear panel while the Sunrise Orange colourway spices things up with a bright orange vegan leather rear panel.
Honor has even included a Type-C to 3.5mm headphone adaptor and a pair of wired earphones. There’s also the usual Type-A to Type-C USB cable for charging, but no charger in the box. We were provided with the 30W charger, which is available separately as an option at Rs. 699.
Honor X9b: Design
The Honor X9b appears quite slim and surely makes an impression with its curved sides. Both the polycarbonate rear panel and the display glass on the front curve around the edges on the left and right sides, making it comfortable to hold. The phone weighs 185g but feels surprisingly lightweight and has a thickness of just 7.98mm. The curved edges give it a very good hand feel despite having a skinny polycarbonate frame; it feels quite sturdy in terms of build quality and premium in terms of finish.
Honor X9b: Specifications And Software
The 4nm processor with a maximum clock speed of 2.2GHz was announced in 2022, so it is a bit dated today and mostly replaced by the faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, which is found on competing smartphones like the OnePlus Nord CE4 that I recently reviewed. The phone is equipped with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and offers 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage, which is not expandable.
As for communication standards, there’s dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC support, and a USB-C port at the bottom. There’s support for dual 5G standby (with two nano SIM cards), and the phone also supports the usual global positioning systems. The phone has a massive 5,800mAh battery and supports 35W wired charging.
