However, the Honor Band 5i retails at CNY 159 (roughly Rs. 1,600).
The dual-SIM (Nano) Honor 9X runs Android Pie with EMUI 9.1 on top and features a 6.59-inch full-HD+ (1080x2340 pixels) display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the phone has octa-core HiSilicon Kirin 810 SoC, paired with up to 6GB of RAM. There is a dual rear camera setup that consists of a 48-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.8 lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor.
