The design seen in the teaser appears to be the same as the global version. The Indian version of the upcoming smartphone is expected to be similar in terms of specifications as well.

Honor has teased the arrival of an upcoming X-series smartphone in India in an X post. The handset is confirmed to be available for purchase in the country via Amazon. The live microsite on the e-commerce site suggests that the phone will feature a large battery and a camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS) as well as electronic image stabilisation (EIS) support. The handset is teased to sport a display with an eye-friendly dimming rate.

Although the company did not confirm the moniker of the upcoming handset, the design in the X teaser suggests that it is the Honor X9c. The handset launched in Malaysia with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset paired with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of onboard storage. It runs on Android 14-based MagicOS 8.0 out-of-the-box.

The global variant of the Honor X9c carries a 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,840Hz dimming rate. In the camera department, it has a 108-megapixel main sensor and a 5-megapixel ultra-wide shooter at the back as well as a 16-megapixel sensor at the front. The handset packs a 6,600mAh battery with 66W wired fast charging support.

The company claims that the Honor X9c global version meets the IP65M rating for dust and 360-degree water resistance. The M denotes "the ability to resist water exposure even while in motion."

The Honor X9c started in Myanmar at MYR 1,499 (roughly Rs. 28,700) for the 12GB + 256GB option. Notably, an Honor X9c Smart variant was unveiled in select markets in December 2024.
