Honor X9c 5G Teased to Launch in India Soon

Last year, the Honor X9c 5G launched globally and now, the device is finally making its way to India. A dedicated Amazon microsite is now live which teases the smartphone's launch in the subcontinent. Thanks to this listing, we also get to know of a few of the Honor X9c key specifications. 

For starters, there seems to be quite the focus on durability and AI, with Honor calling it "The Unbreakable AI Smartphone." The upcoming device is said to sport the brand's proprietary Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Technology 2.0, which promises a drop resistance of 2 metres.

We also get to know that the back panel of the phone can endure 3,000 cycles of "steel wool friction". The Honor X9c also sports an IP65M rating, which brings "360° water resistance" to the table. 

Further, the smartphone has been confirmed to pack a 6,600mAh battery with 66W fast charging. Adding to the reliability of the device, Honor ensures that it can handle 30.2 hours of calls in 55°C and 20.1 hours of call in -30°C. 

"The industry-leading battery coating works together with the Honor Power Management System to protect you at all times, providing a sense of security," Honor states. 

Now, despite the big battery, the phone is said to weigh 189 grams and flaunt a thickness of 7.98mm. The phone is also said to arrive with a titanium finish and is showcased in the Black and Green colour options. 

Moving on to optics, there will be a dual rear camera setup with a 108 MP primary lens with OIS at the helm. Now, this camera uses a 1/1.67-inch sensor with a f/1.75 aperture. In addition, it is also said to bring 3x lossless zoom to the table. The camera will also be backed by AI features like AI Night Mode, AI Eraser, AI OIS Motion Sensing, and more. 

Although details of the other cameras have not been confirmed, going by the global launch, one can expect the secondary sensor to be a 5 MP ultrawide. Meanwhile, at the front, there could be a 16 MP selfie shooter. 

Now, while the exact display size is under wraps for now, the global launch suggests a 6.78-inch OLED panel. However, the microsite confirms other details like a 1.5K resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, 4,000 nits of typical brightness, 1.07 billion of colour depth as well as DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage.

Taking eye protection seriously, the panel also brings "risk-free Dimming" of 3840 Hz. There are also dual-stereo speakers to make binge-watching content enjoyable. 

On the software front, the Honor X9c 5G will be running on MagicOS 9.0 which will bring features like Magic Portal, Magic Capsule and Parallel Space. 

However, that's all for the confirmed space for now. Now, while the processor has not been confirmed yet, going by the global launch, it could be powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1. 

With that said, we do expect to see more details get revealed in the coming days alongside an official launch date. So, stay tuned.
