The media announced that Huawei sub-brand called Honor is good to go to dispatch its new 9X series cell phones, Honor 9X and 9X Pro on twenty-three July two thousand and nineteen.

Honor 9X review: 

Honor has clearly managed to squeeze a little more out of the graphics hardware, however, with the 9X slightly improving on the 8X’s performance in the suite of GFX Bench tests. In the battery rundown test, where I loop a 20-hour video with the screen set to 170cd/m2 brightness and data connections turned off, the Honor 9X lasted 12hrs 41mins going from full charge to zero. All three cameras sit vertically aligned in a slightly raised section on the upper-left area of the back of the phone, which doesn’t protrude far enough to unbalance your typing and swipes if you’re resting it flat on a table.

The Motorola Moto G8 Plus, for example, has a great battery life that could easily rival the Honor 9X’s stamina. Alternatively, there’s the Nokia 7.2, which has one of the best screens I’ve seen at this price. If you’re a gamer, you might also want to consider the graphics performance of the Motorola One Action. honor 9X review: Design and key features AS I’ve already mentioned, this phone is a looker. It’s tall, slim and elegant, with softly curved edges that help it both sit comfortably in the hand and give it the illusion of costing much more than how little it actually costs. IT charges via a USB Type-C port at the bottom, which sits alongside the 3.5mm headphone jack. A volume rocker and power button are situated on the right side, and on the top of the phone there are compartments, sealed flush with the side panels, which hide the selfie camera and the SIM/microSD slot. What it doesn’t have – which is a bit disappointing if you’re a frequent traveller on the London Underground – is NFC, so you can’t use it for contactless payments. honor 9X review: display The display on the 9X is a generous 6.59in FHD+ (2,340 x 1,080) LTPS panel, with a total pixel density of 391ppi. The rounded corners don’t extend to the very edges of the phone, with particularly sizeable bezels on the bottom edge – measuring 8mm in width but shrinking to just under 4mm on the other edges. According to Honor, however, it still manages to cover 91% of the front surface. IN testing the screen produced 90.2% of the sRGB colour gamut, which is a typical score for a phone of this price. I recorded a maximum brightness of 428cd/m2, which is bright enough to see on a sunny day but isn’t as bright as screens on pricier models. The measured contrast ratio of 1,269:1 also helps to mitigate jagged-looking edges around text and images. honor 9X review: Performance and battery life The 2.2GHz Kirin 710 processor has been a stalwart of Honor and Huawei phones for a while now, and this cost-saving tactic is becoming increasingly dated as both manufacturers continue to use this low-powered chipset. This is especially obvious if you look at the results of our performance tests. In the Geekbench four benchmark, for example, the Honor 9X produced similar results to last year’s 8X, and in some instances even managed to come out slightly worse. IT slightly edged ahead of the Moto G8 Plus in the single-core test, but still fell behind in multi-core. All of these results are pretty much a dead heat, of course, but I’d much rather be writing about a significant step forward in performance, rather than repeating myself yet again. Honor has clearly managed to squeeze a little more out of the graphics hardware, however, with the Honor 9X slightly improving on the 8X’s performance in the suite of GFXBench tests. Here, the Manhattan three benchmark produced a 19fps average onscreen and 21fps offscreen, which is better than both the 8X and Moto G8 Plus. Like CPU performance, it’s still a way behind the Nokia 7.2, though. Disappointingly, battery life has also decreased between generations. In the battery rundown test, where I loop a 20-hour video with the screen set to 170cd/m2 brightness and data connections turned off, the Honor 9X lasted 12hrs 41mins going from full charge to zero. That’s 15 minutes less than last year, so it’s not drastically different, but the Moto G8 Plus still has them both beat. Honor 9X review: Camera The main camera on the Honor 9X is a 48-megapixel (f/1.8) unit with a 1/2in sensor. It’s backed-up with a 2-megapixel depth-assist camera to help improve portrait shots and an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens with a 120-degree field of view. All three cameras sit vertically aligned in a slightly raised section on the upper-left area of the back of the phone, which doesn’t protrude far enough to unbalance your typing and swipes if you’re resting it flat on a table. The selfie camera is discreetly tucked in a retractable arm, which pops out of the top of the phone when you switch between cameras in the app. It stays out until you return to the rear camera or leave the camera app, at which point it retracts neatly away. Taking pictures on a bright, overcast day left the colours looking a bit flat and washed out. The detail is surprisingly sharp, however – I zoomed in and compared the detail taken on a bright day with Huawei’s.
