The Honor 9X Pro has just been officially launched in India. The smartphone is the first handset that has been released in the Southeast Asian country without Google Mobile services and features Huawei‘s proprietary AppGallery.
Earlier this year, the Chinese company had launched its Honor 9X and now we finally have the 9X Pro being launched. It features a 6.59 inch FHD+ LCD display with a high screen to body ratio of 92 percent. The device is powered by HiSilicon’s 7nm Kirin 810 SoC alongside the ARM Mali-G52 MP6 GPU. Honor 9X Pro also features the new GPU Turbo 3.0 along with liquid cooling technology for better thermals during mobile gaming.
Honor has equipped with the smartphones to run the vanilla Android OS, skipping over Google services. This move arrives after Huawei was banned by the US government from partnering with American based firms. While many models from the Chinese tech giant are already available without Google services in Europe, this is the first from Honor to launch with Huawei’s AppGallery in India. The AppGallery is Huawei’s version of the Play Store and is a part of the Huawei Mobile Services ecosystem.

For optics, the device features a triple camera setup with the primary sensor being a 48 megapixel Sony IMX582 shooter. Furthermore, an 8 megapixel super wide angle lens and a 2 megapixel depth sensor can also be found on the rear.
