If you’re in the market for a full-featured, affordable smartphone, this recently-launched HONOR X9 5G could be a viable option for under RM1,500. Need some convincing? Well, here are 9 reasons why you should get this impressive all-rounder smartphone.

 

#1 Beautiful aesthetics, super durability

For reason number 1, is the amazing aesthetics and super durability.

Whether you choose Titanium Silver that I have, the Ocean Blue, or even Midnight Black color, the HONOR X9 5G will GLOW WITH LIGHT. This eye-pleasing aesthetics is topped with a unique halo camera array on the back.

And the phone isn’t just beautiful, as it is also built tough. Now If you’re the clumsy kind, who you know, drop the phone from your work table or situations where the phone slips away from your hands while holding it, the good news is that the HONOR X9 5G can survive a one-meter-high drop and even a maximum load of 70kg. 

According to HONOR, the HONOR X9 5G has undergone some rigorous durability tests, including 200,000-time power button and fingerprint button tests, 800,000-time touchscreen tests as well as temperature cycle tests of between minus 20 and 55 degree Celsius.

 

#2 High refresh rate, big display

As for the following reason is the big display and the higher refresh rate.

While the HONOR X9 5G may be a mid-range smartphone, it doesn’t skimp on giving you the best display experience. The phone has a 6.81-inch FHD+ with a resolution of 2388×1080 pixels, and has a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, giving you beautifully sharp and bright visuals as well as silky smooth action when you’re gaming.

And the video viewing experience both on YouTube and Netflix was also really great since the display also sports a super-slim bezel design of just 1.05mm, as slim as a credit card!

 

#3 Uncompromising performance

Next has to be the amazing performance.

The HONOR X9 5G rocks the Snapdragon 695 6nm 5G chipset coupled with the Adreno 619 GPU, giving you a powerful performance, exceptional battery life, which I will go into later, and thermal performance during very long gameplay is also great when playing online gaming like PUBG Mobile together with 5G connectivity, of course. 

Then the power-efficient octa-core processor is mated with up to 8 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage.

 

#4 More RAM, On-Demand

As for reason number 4 is how the phone has more RAM on-demand.

With HONOR’s RAM Turbo, you can raise the memory from 8 to 10 gigabytes just with a flick of a switch. So with more RAM means you can do more, whether it’s multitasking between 20 apps going back and forth between heavy demanding apps without closing them and continuing off where you left off.

And this is something that can usually only be done on higher flagship smartphones and it is nice that you can actually do that in the HONOR X9 5G.

 

#5 Long battery life

Speaking of battery life earlier, that has to be the fifth reason.

The HONOR X9 5G has a large 4800mAh battery that will guarantee a full day’s worth (and more) of battery life to do the things you love. And yes, this also means you don’t have to lug around a power bank to keep up with your daily activities.

 

#6 66W HONOR SuperCharge

Then reason number 6 goes from battery to the SuperCharge performance. 

Now, one of the main things that I tell people is NOT to charge your phone overnight, in order to save the longevity of the battery.

Because with the HONOR X9 5G, in the event that the phone does get low on battery, you can get it charged rapidly with the 66W HONOR SuperCharge where you can get from 0 to 81% in just 30 minutes or a full charge in just 43 minutes! 

So what you can do is that instead of charging your phone overnight; as soon as you wake up, just plug the phone into the charger and do your regular morning routine like making your bed, brushing your teeth and taking a shower and during that time, your phone is charged, and you are all set to get back up and running!

 

#7 48MP Ultra Clear Camera

Speaking of the attractive halo-shaped camera array, the Ultra Clear 48-megapixel camera has to be my 7th and one of the main reasons to get the phone too.

And while we all know how well smartphones are getting amazing images during the day, especially with the ability to zoom in further with the 48-megapixel mode, I was really impressed with the nighttime photos where the Night Mode had a great balance of highlights and shadows and yet maintained some great vivid colors.

And because the phone was also accompanied by a 2-megapixel f/2.4 depth camera and a 2-megapixel f/2.4 macro camera, it performed great in the Portrait Mode and Super Macro mode as well.

 

#8 Hello, Google

As for the reason number 8, it is how you can say Hello Google once again!

On the software side of things, you’ll be happy to know that the HONOR X9 5G comes with Google Mobile Services (or GMS) support, and yes, you don’t have to do some weird and annoying workaround to make it work anymore, so that was pleasing to know.

So with that, you will easily get the full Android experience which includes all access to the very familiar Google apps and tools like Gmail, Google Maps, Waze, YouTube and all the E-wallet apps as well.

 

#9 Value for money

Then as for the 9th or the final reason is how the phone is value for money.

Now, the HONOR X9 5G offers outstanding value for money, featuring no compromises on quality, beautiful design and build quality.

Also keep in mind guys, that you don’t usually get a smartphone within this price range which has the 66W HONOR SuperCharge as mentioned earlier.

Comes with a price of only RM1,299 for the 8 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of storage making this a very highly recommended phone under RM1,500 and it is available to purchase from hihonor.com and the official stores on Shopee and Lazada as well.

I have been very excited about the comeback of HONOR since last year. After the launch of HONOR 50, HONOR now has brought the valuable series – HONOR X Series back to Malaysia, and good news is they are compatible to GMS as mentioned earlier and I am really looking forward to the HONOR Magic Series to reach here in Malaysia as well.
