Honor X9b 5G specs and other details

• Battery: The Honor X9b 5G will be powered by a 5,800mAh cell that is rated to run 35 hours (around three days). The brand claims it can fuel up to nine hours of continuous music playback or 18 hours of calls. It is said to be capable of retaining 80 percent of its total capacity even after 1,000 charging cycles. In other words, it could last three years of performance. The phone has gotten DXOMark’s Gold Label certification for this.
• Design: Like the Realme 12 Proseries, this one also boasts a round camera island on the back that resembles a watch dial. HTecj calls it a “Classical Dual Ring Design”. The device will launch in orange and black colours. The company also mentions its vegan leather accents as part of the design.
• Memory: The phone will be available in an 8GB+256GB variant and a 12+256GB model. Thanks to RAM Turbo virtual memory, the RAM can be expanded up to a whopping 20GB.
• Processor: The phone will be wielding a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip with 4 Cortex A78 performance cores at 2.2 GHz clock speed and 4 Cortex A55 efficiency cores at 1.8 GHz clock speed.
• Software: Honor has said the device will ship with Android 13-based MagicOS 7.2. It teases a “clean bloatware-free user experience”.
• Display: It will flaunt a 6.78-inch 120Hz 1.5K AMOLED display. HONOR is confident about its 360-degree drop resistance from a height of up to 1.5 meters.

Rest, based on its Chinese edition, we think the phone will also pack a 108MP+5MP+2MP triple rear camera setup, a 16MP front camera, Wi-Fi AC, Bluetooth 5.1, an in-display fingerprint reader, and 35W wired charging support.

The phone is tipped to be priced between Rs 25,000 and Rs 30,000. The Honor Choice Watch and Honor Choice Earbuds X5 are also launching alongside the phone on the Feb 15th event and be available via Amazon.
