Honor X9c

Pros: What Makes It Shine

• Feast Your Eyes on That Display: First off, the 6.78-inch AMOLED display is a sight to behold. With a resolution of 1224 x 2700 pixels and a 120-Hertz refresh rate, it’s like your favorite movie coming to life right in your hand. Whether you’re scrolling through social media or diving into a mobile game, everything looks buttery smooth and vibrant. Seriously, it’s like having a mini IMAX theater in your pocket.
• Battery for Days: You want battery life? The Honor X9c packs a 6600 mAh battery that just keeps going. We’re talking about up to 48 hours of music streaming and video playback before you even think about reaching for a charger. And when you do need to charge up, the 66-watts fast charging feature means you’ll be back in action faster than you can say “where’s my charger?”
• Built Like a Tank: This phone isn’t just pretty; it’s tough too. With an IP65M rating, it can handle dust and splashes like a pro. Whether you’re at the beach or just accidentally drop it in a puddle, this phone is built to withstand your clumsy moments. Plus, with its anti-drop tech, it can survive falls from heights of up to 2 meters. Talk about rugged!
• Camera Capabilities: If you love snapping pics, you’re in for a treat. The dual-camera setup features a whopping 108-megapixel main lens and a 5MP ultrawide lens. Capture stunning shots and record 4K videos without breaking a sweat. And thanks to Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), your photos won’t end up looking like they were taken during an earthquake.
• Smooth User Experience: Running on Android 14 with Magic OS 8, this phone offers a slick user interface that feels modern and responsive. The under-display fingerprint sensor is a nice touch too—unlocking your phone feels like something out of a sci-fi movie.

Cons: What Could Use Some Work

• No Gorilla Glass? Really?: Here’s where things get dicey—there’s no Gorilla Glass protection on this bad boy. If you’re anything like me and have butterfingers, you might want to invest in a good case because scratches could become your new best friend.
• Expandable Storage? Nope!: Forget about popping in a microSD card; there’s no expandable storage here. You get either 256GB or 512GB of built-in storage, which might be fine for some but could leave heavy media users feeling cramped.
• Say Goodbye to Headphone Jacks: If you’re still holding onto your wired headphones like they’re some kind of relic, you’ll need to let them go because there’s no 3.5mm audio jack on this phone. Time to embrace Bluetooth!
• Gaming Performance? Not So Much: While the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset handles everyday tasks just fine, don’t expect it to be a gaming powerhouse. High-end games might push it too far, leading to overheating and lag—definitely not ideal for those marathon gaming sessions.
• Selfie Camera Shortcomings: If you’re all about those Instagram-ready selfies, prepare for disappointment—the front camera only shoots in 1080p. In an era where everyone wants high-res everything, this feels like a missed opportunity.
