Toughness trickling down to the masses?

1. Sexy, Slim, and Lightweight —At 7.88mm thick and 193 grams, the new HONOR X9c is incredibly compact while offering a sleek and slender appearance that makes it stand out in its price category. It is made of glass and high-quality polycarbonate but the fit and finish are so good, that you would think it was made of more premium materials from afar.

2. Drop and Water resistant - HONOR is claiming that even without an IP rating, the X9c Smart can withstand up to a 2-meter drop to a smooth granite floor because of the Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Technology 2.0. The rear panel is also rated for up to 3000 cycles of steel wool friction.

It also features the triple-layer waterproof design that HONOR claims is that it can withstand 12.5L/min of water flow for three minutes or up to 50cm of submersion in fresh water for a limited time. The water resistance function is not permanent and will eventually wear down due to daily wear and heat.

3. 108MP main rear camera - At the back is the 108MP f/1.75 1/1.67-inch sensor and a 5MP f/2.2 ultra-wide camera. It can capture video at up to 1080p and is capable of up to 10x digital zoom in photos. It has special modes such as AI Photography, AI Night Mode, and AI Motion Sensing which adds to its 'Smart' monicker.

USB-C with 35W fast charging

4. 5,800mAh High-capacity battery - HONOR is claiming that the 5,800mAh battery can last for up to 19.8 hours of continuous online video playback and up to 41.9 hours of continuous online music playback. It works alongside HONOR's power management system, which should offer long-lasting battery life. 

What is even more impressive is that even though it is a high-capacity battery, the X9c Smart remains slim. It is probably made of the silicon-carbon battery introduced in slim HONOR's foldable.

Bonus features include the MediaTek Dimensity 7025 Ultra octa-core processor, IMG BXM-8-256 GPU, 8GB/12GB RAM, 256GB of storage, Stereo speakers, 5G, 4G LTE, Bluetooth 5.3, GPS, NFC, a fingerprint scanner and a USB-C port.
