Huawei’s sub-brand – Honor is gearing up for the launch of some new smartphones in the coming few days.

While that’s certain to happen, Honor has in between applied for certain trademarks for the Honor 9X successors or what we can call as the future Honor X-Series.

As per the source, Honor filed a trademark application with various intellectual property organizations around the globe for its future X-series smartphones. The trademark filing includes – Honor 10X, 20X, 30X, 40X and 50X. It’s interesting to note that the application for the Honor 10X was submitted along with the Honor 9X trademark in 2016, while the rest of the trademarks were submitted in 2018. So, it’s an indication of the future X Series to have the prefix a multiple of 10.

All these trademark applications are filed to safeguard the names and it not necessary that Honor will launch all these devices soon.

However, the Honor 9X is expected to equip the Kirin 810 SoC which is based on the 7nm process. The SoC has two high-performance cores based on Cortex-A76 clocked at 2.27GHz and six high-efficiency cores with Cortex-A55 at 1.88GHz. According to previous information, the Honor 9X will come with a pop-up selfie camera. On the back, there ought to be a dual camera aligned vertically in the upper left corner.

That being said, with the US-China trade war-related issues getting settled lately, it’s Huawei which is going to breath fresh air. The Chinese mammoth is back in its business with the aim to dethrone Samsung from its long-held crown as the leading global smartphone vendor. And, all these Honor X-series devices will help the firm to gain more market share globally.
