Honor has started teasing a new phone named the Honor X9a in Malaysia. The first teasers of the phone have revealed its front and rear designs. The official images suggest that it could be a rebranded version of a phone that was recently released in China.

Honor X9a 5G

Honor is already offering the Honor X9 and Honor X9 5G in Malaysia. These devices are powered by the Snapdragon 680 and Snapdragon 695 chipsets, respectively. Both phones have a curved-edge display on the front and a circle-shaped camera module on the back.

The upcoming Honor X9a 5G has the same design language as the Honor X9 and X9 5G. In the video shared by Honor Malaysia, the X9a can be seen sporting an attractive curved-edge display. The company claims that it is an “ultra-tough OLED curved display.” It features a large camera ring on the back.

Honor is yet to confirm the specifications of the Honor X9a 5G. In all likelihood, the X9a 5G could be a rebranded version of the Honor X40, which debuted in September in China. The Chinese manufacturer is expected to launch the phone as early as next week in Malaysia.

Honor X40 Specifications

The Honor X40 has a 6.67-inch AMOLED display that offers a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. It is powered by the Snapdragon 695 chipset, up to 12 GB of RAM, and a 5,100mAh battery that supports 44W fast charging.

The X40 has an 8-megapixel camera on the front for selfies and video calls. On the back, it has a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and an LED flash.

For security, it features an under-display fingerprint scanner. It runs on Android 12 OS and Magic UI 6.1.
