On the other hand, the Chinese variant comes with a dual-camera system with a 48MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary depth sensor.

What We Think About Honor 9X

Given that the Honor X series smartphones are priced in the affordable market segment, the Honor 9X is likely to cost around Rs. 15,000. As of now, there is no clarity if the smartphone will have Google Mobile Services in the country. Besides the 9X, we can also expect the company to bring the Honor Magic Watch 2 to the country.
