Honor X9B Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The Honor X9b might fit your bill if you are in the market for something durable, stylish, and with a big battery for under Rs 30,000. The smartphone also provides a respectable viewing experience. However, when it comes to performance, cameras, charging speeds, and more, the handset might leave you wanting more.
Pros
- Sturdy, stylish, premium-looking
- Lovely screen
- Respectable battery life
Cons
- Extremely slow charging speeds
- Cameras could have been better
Design and display
+
For the Honor X9b design, the company seems to have taken a leaf out of Realme's playbook. However, the OEM has taken a step by keeping the phone both sturdy and stylish. The handset is five-star overall drop resistance certified by Switzerland's SGS. This seems to have been possible with the shock-absorbing material, called cushioning technology, which provides the display structural integrity against drops from up to 1.5 meters. The display is said to be protected 360 degrees on all six faces and four corners even on hard surfaces like marble, and without tempered glass. While I didn't test that claim during my review period, we will be evaluating the smartphone's structural integrity soon. So, stay tuned to 91mobiles social media channels for updates.

Cameras
+
The primary camera on the Honor X9b is a large 108MP sensor, paired with 5MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP macro unit. For selfies and video calling, the handset sports a 16MP snapper. The image quality is acceptable in areas with ample lighting conditions, especially from the main 108MP camera which outputs 12MP images by default. There is slight oversaturation, but the details are substantial. That said, the dynamic range could have been better. The primary camera is also capable of clicking portraits with good edge detection; however, it smoothens out the facial detailing and presents skin tones with high contrast.

Performance and software
+
The Honor X9b is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, which debuted in India earlier this year with Realme 12 Pro. It is a mid-range octa-core chipset with up to 2.2GHz clock speed, Adreno A710 GPU, and a built-in 5G modem. The SoC is paired with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of non-expandable storage. That said, the RAM is expandable virtually up to 8GB using a portion of the phone's storage.

Battery and charging
+
Coming to one of the key USPs, the 5,800mAh battery on the Honor X9b is rated to last up to three days between charges depending on the usage. However, with my usage, I found myself looking for a charger by the end of the second day. If you are a slightly heavy user, you might have to charge the device at least once after a day and a half of usage. The screen-on-time I was getting was roughly around nine hours, which is impressive. What might not look impressive though is the PC Mark battery result and the charging speeds of the smartphone.
