The Honor X9c has launched in Pakistan, offering premium durability, high battery capacity, and a vibrant AMOLED display. Priced at ₨100,000 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant, the X9c aims to stand out in the competitive mid-to-high-end smartphone segment.
Display & Build Quality
The Honor X9c’s 6.78-inch AMOLED panel delivers sharp visuals with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Its 4000-nit peak brightness ensures excellent outdoor visibility, while 3800Hz PWM dimming reduces eye strain. This makes it a great choice for extended use.
With a slim 189g body and an IP65 rating, this phone feels premium and can handle splashes and dust with ease.
Durability Test Results
Honor’s biggest claim is its ultra-durable curved screen, and it lives up to the hype. During testing, a dramatic moment stood out when the X9c was dropped face-down from chest height onto concrete. Spectators watched as it landed with a harsh thud, yet the screen remained unshattered. This resilience sets the X9c apart and establishes a new standard for durable smartphones in Pakistan.
Camera Performance
The Honor X9c’s 108MP triple-camera setup delivers excellent results in daylight:
- Day Shots: High detail and natural colors
- Night Mode: Surprisingly bright and usable even in very low light
- Video: HDR effects are smooth; portrait mode struggles in dim lighting
- Selfie Camera: Bright and sharp in daylight, but no dedicated night mode
AI Motion Sensing Photography can automatically capture action shots (like jumps or fast-moving vehicles), making it a fun feature for content creators.
Performance & Software
Powered by Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, the Honor X9c offers mid-range performance with an AnTuTu score of around 590K. It handles multitasking and casual gaming well, but is not a performance powerhouse.
On the software front, Honor has moved away from its Huawei-era limitations:
- Full Google Play Store support
- Google apps run flawlessly.
- MagicOS runs smoothly with minimal bloat.
Battery & Charging
Despite its slim frame, the Honor X9c packs a 6600mAh high-silicon battery, which offers:
- Excellent endurance (easily lasts over a day)
- 66W wired fast charging, topping up quickly
This makes it one of the best battery phones in its segment.
Price & Value in Pakistan
At ₨100,000, the Honor X9c delivers outstanding durability, display quality, and battery life, but its chipset performance is closer to mid-range rivals. Older flagship phones in this price range may offer better raw power and extra premium features.
💡 A price between ₨70,000–₨80,000 would make this phone a killer deal.
CoreElix Quick Verdict
The Honor X9c is a perfect fit for buyers prioritizing:
Ultra-durable screen & design
Long battery life
Bright AMOLED display with eye protection
However, if you are looking for flagship-tier performance, older flagship models may offer better value at the same price.
