Honor first unveiled the Honor 9X and 9X Pro in China in July last year. The company then took the wraps off the smartphones in India this January. As early as February this year, there have been several rumours and leaked details of an upcoming Honor 9X Lite. Honor has now officially unveiled the Honor 9X Lite in Finland.

The smartphone packs an expansive 6.5-inch FullView FHD+ display with a resolution of 2340 x 1080 pixels. The display adopts a notch design with a 19:5:9 aspect ratio.

The Honor 9X series will be getting a new member soon. The series which already includes the Honor 9X and the Honor 9X Pro will now be joined by the Honor 9X Lite. Ahead of the phone’s launch, a Pakistani online store already has the phone up for pre-order and it includes all of the specifications as well as the price.

The Honor 9X Lite will have a 6.5-inch FullView Display with a 91% screen-to-body ratio. The display is certified by TUV Rheinland. The listing doesn’t show the front of the display, so we can’t tell if it has a notch or a punch hole. It also doesn’t state the resolution of the display.

There is a Kirin 710 processor under the hood. Users will also get 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. On the back of the phone are dual cameras – a 48MP f/1.8 1.2” primary sensor and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. The phone has phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). The front-facing camera is a 16MP f/2.0 1.3” sensor.

The Honor 9X Lite has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, supports face unlock, and has a 3750mAh battery capacity. It runs EMUI 9.0 (based on Android 9) but the listing says it is upgradeable to Android 10. Its dimensions are given as 160.4 x 76.6 x 7.8 mm while its weight is put at 175 grams.

The online store has put a price tag of PKR 31,999 (~$207) on the phone and pre-orders come with a free exclusive giftbox that includes a selfie-stick, ring hook, and cable. Order is said to be limited and stock will be available in April 2020 which is about six weeks away.

The post Specs and Price of Honor 9X Lite listed before launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor launched the Honor 9X and Honor 9X Pro in China last July. Both are powered by the Kirin 810 processor and are Honor’s mid-range phones. Now, the Huawei sub-brand is ready to release a third model that will launch as the Honor 9X Lite.

The poster for the Honor 9X Lite surfaced on the web last weekend and the image revealed the design as well as some key specs of the device.

The Honor 9X Lite will come in green and will have dual rear cameras placed inside a rectangular housing. The poster says the primary camera is a 48MP sensor and the words “48MP AI CAMERA” are inscribed next to the sensors. The second camera is unknown but we expect it to be a depth sensor just like that of the standard Honor 9X. Honor is marketing the Honor 9X Lite as the “XTRAORDINARY PHOTOGRAPHER” but only reviews will tell us if the cameras are truly “xtraordinary”.

The poster also shows the phone will have a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner while the volume rocker and power button will reside on the right side of the phone’s frame.

The Honor 9X Lite has also received Google Play certification and appears on the list of Google Play certified devices. The page reveals three different model numbers for the device (JSN-L21, JSN-L22, JSN-L23). Seeing as it has Google Play Certification, it is believed the Honor 9X Lite will have a Kirin 710/Kirin 710F processor like its other mid-range devices released since the ban took effect.

Huawei/Honor is yet to get the Kirin 810 processor certified, hence why its mid-range devices launching outside China are powered by the Kirin 710 or Kirin 710F rather than the more powerful Kirin 810.

There is no news yet regarding a launch date for the phone but a launch should be around the corner.
