Honor has just unveiled the Honor X9c, an upgrade from last year’s X9b, and it’s a powerhouse in durability, battery life, and camera capabilities. Honor has designed the X9c to be its toughest Honor phone yet.
The phone not only has 2 meters of drop protection, but also IP65M certification against water jets, enhanced scratch resistance, and the ability to operate at extreme temperatures.
Design and Display
The Honor X9c features a 6.78” curved OLED display with 1,224 x 2,700px resolution, delivering color-accurate visuals with 10-bit color support. With an incredible peak brightness of 4,000 nits, content is easy to view even under direct sunlight, while the 3,840Hz PWM dimming ensures a smooth viewing experience that’s easy on the eyes.
The display has a pill-shaped cutout for the front camera, adding a modern look to this rugged phone. Available in Titanium Purple, Jade Cyan, and Titanium Black, the X9c has a striking design for any style.
Internals and Software
Under the hood, the Honor X9c is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, delivering reliable performance that can handle multitasking, some light gaming, and more. It comes with three memory configurations: 8/256 GB, 12/256 GB, and a high-end 12/512 GB variant, so users can choose the option that suits their needs best.
Running on MagicOS 8.0 based on Android 14, the X9c offers a smooth and updated user experience with seamless functionality. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, NFC, and comprehensive positioning support through GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou.
Honor X9c Camera
The Honor X9c boasts a 108MP main camera with a large 1/1.67” sensor that can perform 9-to-1 pixel binning, resulting in larger 1.92µm effective pixels for better low-light performance and offers a 3x lossless in-sensor zoom. The 5MP ultra-wide lens complements the main camera to capture expansive shots.
On the front, there’s a 16MP selfie camera with 1080p video recording capabilities, perfect for capturing clear selfies and video calls.
Battery and Pricing
One of the X9c’s standout features is its powerhouse 6,600 mAh battery, offering exceptional endurance that allows for up to 26 hours of online video playback on a single charge. And when you need to recharge, the 66W fast charging feature gets you back up quickly.
The Honor X9c is available now in various regions for a starting price of $345, while the 12/512 GB model is available for $386.
