The HONOR X9c is now out with a lot of durability certifications, an extra-large battery, a fancy camera, and fast charging.
From the already impressive 5,800mAh battery of the X9b, the HONOR X9c now comes with a bigger 6,600mAh capacity. HONOR has also doubled the charging speed to 66W to match the battery.
Like its predecessor, the also-new X7c, and other new HONOR phones coming out, the X9c garnered a lot of certifications for durability. For one, SGS rated it to survive being dropped from 2 meters or 6.6 feet.
It is also durable enough to work under extreme temperatures of -30°C to 55°C. Plus, it has an IP65M dust and water resistance rating — the “M” apparently stands for 360-degree protection from water jets.
A 6.78-inch curved OLED screen is on the front, with a 1.2K resolution, 10-bit color, 3,840Hz PWM dimming, and an extra-bright 4,000 nits of peak brightness. A 16-megapixel selfie camera is on the top, while the back has a 108-megapixel main shooter with optical image stabilization, but is only joined by a low-resolution 5-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
Sadly, the hardware department didn’t get an upgrade. We still have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, which you can pair with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
The HONOR X9c is now listed in Malaysia for a starting price of MYR1,499 (~Php20,000). Release details in other markets are yet to be known.
