The HONOR X9c 5G has officially arrived, boasting a tougher build for those who need a more resilient device. One standout feature is its upgraded IP65M water resistance, offering what HONOR calls “360-degree protection” against water jets—a big step up from the X9b’s IP53 rating.
The HONOR X9c 5G also introduces wet touch control technology, making its 6.78-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate easier to use even with wet hands. Powering the device is the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chip, the same reliable processor from the X9b.
On the camera front, the X9c now features a dual-lens setup: a 108MP main camera and a 5MP ultrawide. While the 2MP macro lens is gone, the main camera now comes with optical image stabilization, promising sharper and more stable shots.
The HONOR X9c 5G steps up its battery game with a larger 6600mAh capacity, made possible by silicon-carbon technology. Paired with 66W fast charging, this means you get more power and quicker top-ups to keep you going throughout the day.
