Announced Honor X9 5G. Midrange smartphone with Snapdragon 695

 

On March 29, China Honor announced the new X-series "Honor X9 5G". GSMArena reports.
The SoC uses Snapdragon 695, a 6nm process 5G compatible chipset. This chip was announced in October 2021 and is used in OPPO's A96 5G and Realme's realme 9 Pro. The AnTuTu benchmark score is about 390,000, which is excellent for the midrange. The execution memory and internal storage consist of 3 configurations: 6 / 128GB, 8 / 128GB, and 8 / 256GB.

The screen is a 6.81 inch, 2388 x 1080px IPS LCD. The width is 75.78 mm. It is the size of a general high-end model of today.
 

The rear camera consists of a 48-megapixel f / 1.8 main camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a depth sensor. It features a ring-designed camera module that is also used in the company's Magic 3 and 4 series. The in-camera has 16 million pixels and is a punch hole type located in the center of the upper part of the LCD.
The battery capacity is as large as 4800mAh. By installing Honor's original 66W Super Charge, it can be charged up to 81% in just 30 minutes.

 Available in three colors, titanium silver, ocean blue, and midnight black, pre-order sales have started in Malaysia from March 29th. The price is 8 / 128GB configuration, 1299 ringgit (about 38,000 yen).

The Honor X9 5G announced this time has almost the same specifications as the X30 5G that the company has already sold in China, so it is considered to be a model to be deployed in the Malaysian market.
 

 

The X series has been sold as X10, X20, and X30 so far, but all of them were characterized by their mid-range performance but relatively high cost performance. Since X30 5G and he became Snapdragon instead of MediaTek's Dimensity in X9 5G, I am wondering if there will be a difference in processing performance.
