Huawei sub-brand Honor has really come a long way. After exiting the market a few years ago, the brand has once again entered India, this time under a new parent company called HTech, with the licence to manufacture and sell Huawei's Honor smartphones in India. And since it is technically based out of India under a different company, these Honor smartphones also pack in the usual Google services integrations and apps. Honor's first smartphone under the HTech banner was its Honor 90, which was launched as a premium device.

Honor X9b Summary

The Honor X9b from HTech has a rear panel and frame made from polycarbonate. The phone offers a unique Ultra-Bounce technology which protects its display from 1.5 metre drops. The device is also IP53-rated for dust and water resistance.

Performance is good for daily use but is mostly mid-range when it comes to gaming. Magic OS offers some interesting software features but comes with the regular Huawei bloatware.

Camera performance is not good. Neither of its three rear-facing cameras performs up to expectations in daylight and the things only get worse in low light conditions.

Battery life with the large battery is rock solid and makes this otherwise slim device a proper road warrior. However, charging is quite slow when compared to most devices at this price point. Moreover, Honor does not offer a charger in the box.
