Honor has officially launched the Honor X9b in Hong Kong, introducing a smartphone with powerful features, including the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor and a 108 MP camera.

It includes a 108MP primary camera with f/1.75 aperture, LED flash, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP 4cm macro sensor. The device also supports 4K video recording. Facing the front, a 16MP camera with f/2.45 aperture provides excellent selfie.

The Honor X9b boasts a sleek design with a large 6.78-inch display, having a resolution slightly above the FHD mark at 1200 x 2652 pixels. Corning Gorilla Glass protection ensures durability and resistance to scratches. The device comes in two colors: black and blue.

Additionally, it houses a large 5800mAh battery with 35W SuperCharge fast charging support. With a competitive price point, this smartphone aims to cater to the mid-range market. With a starting price of HKD 2,699 (~PKR 96,000/-), the device brings excellent value for money.
