Honor 9X – First preview of the next mid-range model

A subsidiary of Huawei, Honor will release on July 23 Honor 9X and Honor 9x Pro. This mid-range series opts for three cameras on the back cover, a retractable front camera and a fingerprint sensor hidden on the edge of the camera. 

A subsidiary of Huawei, Honor ignores the threats of the United States on Chinese manufacturers by unveiling his Honor 9X, which will also decline in a Pro version. Expected for July 23, it is a mid-range model, the successor of the 8X.

An image published on Weibo allows to discover the design with three cameras in the back, and in addition to this third sensor, one of the novelties is hidden on the edge of the device with the fingerprint sensor. This is what was already on the Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro models; Samsung and Sony have also adopted it on some smartphones. Honor also opted for a 20-megapixel retractable selfie camera like the OnePlus 7 Pro.

Scalable storage memory

For the rest of the configuration of this model that will run on Android 9, you have to rely on the cards put online by TENAA with a Kirin 810 processor, up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Good news: the memory will be expandable with a MicroSD card. Another good news: the presence of a jack for the headphones. This will not put an adapter or throw his old helmet.

The weight is important (about 200 grams) and the screen is 6.6 inches with a screen resolution of 2.340 x 1.080 points. The battery is correct (4.000 mAh). The difference between the classic and Pro versions is at the photosensor at the back which goes from 24 to 48 megapixels for the Honor 9X Pro.
