Honor had launched the Honor 9X and Honor 9X Pro smartphones in China in July. In November, it unveiled the Honor Magic Watch 2 in China with a price tag of 1,399 Yuan (~$199; ~Rs. 14,000). Soon after the Honor 9X series in the home market, the rumor mill speculated that the Honor 9X will be made available in India. However, its arrival seems to have been delayed. A fresh report on 91mobiles reveals that the Chinese manufacturer will unveil the Honor 9X in January 2020. It will be also announcing the Magic Watch 2 smartwatch alongside the smartphone.
Honor 9X and Honor Magic Watch 2 Specifications
The Honor 9X that will be arriving in India will not be the exact same Kirin 810 powered Honor 9X device that debuted in China. However, the country could be receiving the international edition of the smartphone. The Honor 9X for India will be featuring a 6.59-inch IPS LCD display with notch-less display. The screen supports full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The phone will draw power from the older Kirin 710F chipset. It could be coming with up to 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of native storage. A microSD card slot will be available onboard for more storage.
For shooting selfies, it will be equipped with a pop-up selfie camera of 16-megapixel. The triple camera system on its rear will feature a 48-megapixel main lens, an 8-megapixel superwide lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The phone will draw power from a 4,000mAh battery that will only support 10W charging. A fingerprint scanner could be available on the backside of the device. The EMUI based Android 9 Pie OS runs on the device. The Honor 9X heading to India is expected to arrive with support for Google Mobile Services (GMS).
The Honor Magic Watch 2 had launched in two variants like 42mm model with 1.2-inch screen and 46mm model with 1.33-inch display in China. The Kirin A1 chipset fuels the device.
