Honor 9X: Design
The Honor 9X is the latest and the first Honor smartphone to launch in the country with a pop-up selfie camera, offering a display with a higher screen-to-body ratio. The smartphone has a glass back panel at the back, which creates a pattern when the lights fall on it at a certain angle. At the front, the Honor 9X has a 6.59-inch display, which offers FHD+ resolution. As the smartphone has a pop-up selfie camera, the entire front of the device is covered with the display, except for the bottom bezel.
Honor 9X: Hardware Performance
The Indian version of the Honor 9X is powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 710F SoC, which is an octa-core processor, coupled with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. However, the international Honor 9X comes with the much powerful Kirin 810 SoC, which offers better CPU and GPU performance compared to the Indian edition. The Honor 9X can handle normal day-to-day tasks without any issue. Similarly, it can also play light games and even titles like PUBG can also be played at lower graphics settings. For tasks like browsing social media platforms and watching videos, the device offers good performance.
Honor 9X: Camera Performance
The Honor 9X has a triple camera setup at the back with a 48MP primary sensor, 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. The main camera can only record 1080p videos, which is a bit of a let down considering the price of the smartphone. For selfies, the device uses a 16MP sensor, again, which can also record 1080p videos. Thanks to EIS, the phone can record smooth videos and can also take photos with a good amount of detail and dynamic range. The camera does offer features like portrait mode, which will easily blur the background using the 2MP depth sensor.
Honor 9X: Price To Specs Ratio
The Honor 9X retails for Rs. 13,995 in India, which makes it one of the most affordable phones in the country with 128GB internal storage. However, the base variant of the smartphone just offers 4GB RAM, which might not be enough in this modern age. When it comes to price to specs, ratio, phones like the Realme 6 and the Redmi Note 9 Pro definitely offer more performance at a slightly lower price tag. However, if you are into getting a phone with more internal storage, then the Honor 9X is the device to consider.
Honor 9X: Important Features/Highlights
This is the first Honor smartphone with a pop-up selfie camera to launch in India, and it is also the highlight of the smartphone. Similarly, the device does offer a USB Type-C port with 10W fast charging. If you care about looks more than the performance, then again, the Honor 9X is the device to get. Additionally, the smartphone supports Google Mobile Services and comes with a built-in Google Play Store, which differentiates it from other newly launched phones from Honor and Huawei.
Honor 9X: Verdict
If you are looking for a smartphone with modern features like a pop-up selfie camera, 128GB storage, and a phone that looks good, then the Honor 9X is the smartphone to consider. However, if you want a phone mainly to play games, then there are a lot of options from Vivo, Realme, and Xiaomi.

How do we rate a Device?
Rating a smartphone is a tedious process and a lot of parameters have to be considered before judging the overall performance of the device such as display, camera, processor, RAM, storage, battery, and the pricing.
So, here are how these specs will affect the real-life usage of a device and why how we meticulously consider each of these points to rate a smartphone.
Camera
Cameras have evolved a lot over the last few years and multi-camera setup is a new norm. We consider various parameters like MP count, aperture size, pixel size, image stabilization to rate a camera system of a smartphone out of 5. Any device that scores more than 3.5 can take good photos and videos and if a phone scores over 4, then it will be one of the best camera smartphones in the market.
Battery
Though battery seems like an underrated feature and we look at the battery capacity, fast charging supporting technology, and even the wireless charging capability is also taken into consideration to rate smartphone's battery capability.
Display
The display is the face of a smartphone. And there are a lot of parameters like the panel technology (IPS LCD, OLED, TFT) and other parameters also taken into consideration like the resolution, pixel density, and refresh rate.
Value for Money
A smartphone could have great specs, but if it is not priced well then you might not get the best value-for-money. So, we compare a smartphone with the contemporaries to rate the value-for-money of a device out of 5.
Performance
This aspect is decided on various sub specifics, such as availability of microSD card slot, the amount of RAM the device offers, processor capability, and the network support. This parameter has more weightage when compared to other departments.
