Honor X9c Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The Honor X9c is worth considering for its durable and sleek design, large battery, vibrant display, and reliable performance for everyday tasks. That said, cameras are not its strongest suit, and for power users, there are more valuable and worthy options out there.
Pros
- Study, durable design
- Good display
- Decent battery life
Cons
- Cameras need improvement
- Average performance
Sleek & sturdy design
+
We drove a car over the Honor X9b last year, and it survived. Its successor, the Honor X9c, carries the same sturdy design. The handset is SGS drop resistance certified, owing to its shock-absorbing material, called cushioning technology, which is rated to provide the display structural integrity against drops from up to 1.5 meters of height. Be that as it may, I wish the company had improved the IP rating of the device from IP65 to a higher IP68/69 rating that provides better protection against water and dust.

Bright, vibrant display
+
The Honor X9c features a 6.78-inch AMOLED curved display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 100 percent DCI-P3 colour gamut, up to 4,000 nits of peak brightness, and HDR10+ support. This is largely the same panel as its predecessor, with two key differences: a pill-shaped cutout and a significantly higher brightness ceiling. The latter notably improves legibility in bright conditions, particularly under direct sunlight. In my experience, the display is easy to read both indoors and outdoors, although it's worth noting that most of the testing took place during overcast weather, and not the harsh, scorching heat of a typical Delhi summer.

Tough-sell for photographers
+
The Honor X9c retains the same camera setup as its predecessor, featuring a 108MP primary sensor and a 5MP ultra-wide lens on the rear, along with a 16MP front-facing camera. However, the company has dropped the 2MP macro sensor for close-up shots that was present on the Honor X9b.

Performance ideal for basic usage
+
The Honor X9c is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, which is the same chipset that powered the Honor X9b last year. While it ensures decent performance for light everyday activities such as scrolling, streaming, browsing, and more, the handset lacks the raw performance and firepower that some of the latest smartphones bring to the table at a similar price.
Read More
Software needs refinement
+
The Honor X9c runs Android 15-based MagicOS 9 out of the box. The software is intuitive, but lacks proper optimisation for the Indian market. For starters, the phone comes with the TikTok app pre-installed, which is still banned in the country. The app doesn't work, and users have the option to uninstall it, along with eight other third-party apps. That said, the UI is nowhere close to stock Android and as feature-rich as some of the other custom Android skins.

Decent battery life
+
The Honor X9c features an upgraded 6,600mAh battery, up from 5,800mAh on its predecessor. Impressively, the OEM has achieved this increase without adding bulk, maintaining the same 7.98mm thickness and keeping the weight in check at 185 grams. This has been made possible by the adoption of advanced silicon-carbon battery technology, which offers higher energy density than the traditional Lithium-ion without being bulky.
