Honor 9X

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

80	Trusted Reviews | Peter Phelps The Honor 9X is a solid all-rounder that will satisfy most people's needs. The high-resolution camera produces good images, performance is strong, and the battery life exceptional. But until the Android ban is resolved, Trusted Reviews can't recommend the device.

80	Expert Reviews | Andy Shaw The Honor 9X is a phone that's filled with positives. Most impressively, It looks like something far more expensive than what it actually costs, and manages to hold this veneer up to close scrutiny. Read full review
80	TechRadar | Tom Bedford The Honor 9X is a fine phone for its price range, and while it won't blow you away with its performance, cameras or display, it still works perfectly well as your day-to-day smartphone. Read full review
80	Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe Overall, the Honor 9X is a capable handset, its notch-free design being its big sell. Whether it'll actually sell is another matter, though, with Huawei's ongoing trade issues and the question over future support for a phone such as this. Read full review
80	Android Authority | Robert Triggs The Honor 9X's focus on flamboyant style attempts to hide its so-so internal hardware. While definitely an upgrade from the 8X, there are more competitive choices out there. Read full review
76	jmcomms | Jonathan Morris The thing to love most is, of course, the screen, but the excellent battery performance can't be forgotten. Coupled together, you've got an awesome device for media consumption and gaming, with plenty of storage even before you look at adding a memory card. Read full review
75	India Today | Sushant Talwar At the price, the Honor 9X brings a decent mix of cameras, design and performance to the table to woo buyers in the segment. Read full review
74	What Mobile | Saf Malik Overall the Honor 9X is a valuable addition to the budget market and can hold its own against some of the higher-priced models on the market. The excellent battery life and the great display make up for a pretty poor camera, particularly for a Huawei device. Read full review
72	TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Sumukh Rao ... if you are not a heavy gamer and consume a lot of content in the form of YouTube videos, streaming TV shows, movies and want a good viewing experience, the Honor 9X will suffice for your needs. Not to forget, the rear camera performs well, and the battery gets you through a full day. Read full review
70	The Indian Express | Hansa Verma Overall, Honor 9X does look like a decent smartphone in the price range, but it is difficult to recommend, especially given the older processor, lack of fast charging, and a design that didn't quite stand out for me. Read full review
70	91mobiles | Sanket Vijayasarathy The Honor 9X has a good day-long battery life and decent cameras for those looking for a simple camera phone. Read full review
70	NDTV Gadgets | Nadeem Sarwar The Honor 9X is a good enough phone and will appeal to those who value style, but it lacks what it takes to decisively edge out its rivals, and even some models priced a bit lower. The likes of the Redmi Note 8, Realme 5 Pro, Vivo U20, and Nokia 7.2 are better all-rounders and offer more value for money. Read full review
70	Mobile News | Saf Malik Overall the Honor 9X is a valuable addition to the budget market and can hold its own against some of the higher-priced models on the market. The excellent battery life and the great display make up for a pretty poor camera, particularly for a Huawei device. Read full review
70	Android Central | Richard Devine A gorgeous design and well-made hardware let down a little by some performance critiques and the irritating omission of NFC. Read full review
70	AndroidPit | Julius Stiebert The Honor 9X is a good mid-range smartphone, but there are few surprises. This applies to many current smartphones, but here you have to bear in mind: you are actually holding a Huawei P Smart Z with a polished camera in your hand Read full review
60	Gadgets Now | Komal Mohan The Honor 9X is certainly among the good-looking devices launched recently. It also offers a pleasant viewing experience and to offers reasonable performance in day-to-day use. Read full review
60	Stuff | Tom Morgan This fashionista phone is dressed to impress, but what's underneath can't keep up the pace with similarly-priced rivals Read full review
60	MobileTechTalk | Domenico Lamberti So, should you buy it? Honestly, I don't think you should. If you've got an Honor 8X definitely not, and if you've got an Honor 7X and are still fine with the performance, I'd keep that a bit longer too. The Honor 9X doesn't feel like enough of an upgrade in enough areas to recommend it. Read full review
