Design:-
The mobile has an elegant and distinctive design, especially the orange color, which comes with a back made of leather with a rough texture that ensures good stability in the hand. The overall shape is attractive with a circular arrangement of the rear cameras surrounded by a gold frame that matches the shiny gold frame of the phone. The back bears the HONOR logo engraved with a gold background.
The mobile is 7.98 mm thick and weighs 189 grams, making it comfortable to carry. The bezel is made of shiny plastic, and appears thin due to the curves integrated into the screen and back. The protrusion of the cameras is simple and can be completely hidden using the transparent case included in the case.
The Honor X9c is one of the first phones to come with SGS certification for shock resistance up to 2 meters, a significant improvement compared to previous versions. During the tests, the device withstood drops and scratches from sharp objects without any noticeable damage.

The phone also features water and dust resistance with IP65M certification, which allows it to withstand exposure to light water such as rain or quick underwater washing. It is also designed to operate in harsh climatic conditions, with the ability to work at temperatures up to 55°C or -30°C.
Screen :-
The phone comes with a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, with a resolution of 1.5K and a frequency of 120 Hz, with a curved design on the right and left sides. The screen has a sleek and luxurious look, thanks to the very small bezels.
The screen is one of the most prominent features of the phone, as it supports the display of one billion colors. The screen delivers superb resolution and colors, as well as its comfort to the eye thanks to the Flicker rate of 3840Hz. However, the phone is missing HDR10+ support.
The most important improvement in this version compared to the previous generation HONOR X9b is the increased brightness. The screen can now reach a maximum brightness of 4000 nits. This brightness is competitive with upper-mid-range phones and some flagship phones, offering the same brightness level as the more expensive HONOR 200 Pro.
Performance:-
The phone is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen1 processor with 4nm technology. The phone comes with a fast internal storage of the type UFS 3.1 capacity of 256 GB with 12 GB RAM and the possibility of increasing it to 24 GB RAM.
Although the performance figures achieved by the processor in the test programs may seem relatively modest, the real-life experience shows stable and balanced performance thanks to the stable operating system.
The daily performance of the phone is very satisfying; it efficiently handles normal tasks such as browsing apps, social media, editing documents via Google Sheets or PDFs, and other daily activities.
The phone is also characterized by the ability of the processor to control the power well, as the phone does not overheat significantly even when intensive use. The processor also does not reduce its frequencies sharply, ensuring stable performance during use.
In terms of graphical performance, the phone offers good performance as the PUBG game can run at 60 Hz smoothly.
Safety factors and other elements: -
About the artificial intelligence features in the phone, we find Ai Earser that can identify certain elements anywhere in the image and scan them, the Magic Portal, which enables you to select any text anywhere and easily drag it to put it in a post on Facebook, send it in a message on WhatsApp, or put it in notes.
And also the Magic Capsule feature similar to Dynamic Island for Apple phones, which Honor exploits to interact with you when there is music playing, a call, etc.
The fingerprint is located at the bottom of the screen, with unlocking support through facial recognition.
The phone supports NFC, supports Always On Display, and the proximity sensor is not real and the function is done through the software.
The sound of the phone has become Stereo, which is an important development in this phone, the sound has become more stereoscopic and more surround, reaching a height of 300%, and the phone supports an additional microphone to isolate noise, but does not support the 3.5 mm port.
The phone's Wi-Fi networks are excellent without any problems.
Battery :-
Using Silicon Carbon technology, Honor was able to offer a huge 6600 mAh battery without the need to increase the size of the battery, which leads to an increase in the weight and thickness of the phone. Indeed, it is the most powerful battery in the mid-range currently, as it can complete the entire day with you and reach the second day without the need for charging.
The charging speed has also developed to reach 66 watts, and the charger is inside the case, which enables it to fully charge the battery in less than an hour, which is an excellent charging time.
Cameras:-
The phone comes with a 108-megapixel main rear camera with an F/1.8 lens slot with optical stabilizer. With a 5-megapixel Ultra Wide lens for wide-angle shooting with an F/2.2 lens slot, the front camera comes with a 16-megapixel camera with an F/2.5 lens slot.
The phone supports 1X, 2X and 3X portrait photography using the main lens. The most prominent feature of the rear camera is the AI Motion Sensing, which helps to take still images even with the movement of people, and the phone can take pictures automatically when motion is detected.
As for quality, images taken in high light appear in good detail and balanced colors. However, the Dinamic Range was not at the expected level in this price category, as there are other phones that offer better performance in this aspect. A notable improvement compared to the previous generation HONOR X9b is image stability thanks to the optical stabilizer.
In night photography, the treatment is very good; the details are clear, the colors are consistent, and the lighting is excellently controlled without the appearance of noise or noise. Even night photos outperformed those taken during the daytime, thanks to the powerful night mode.
As for portraiture photography, the phone performs acceptable performance in 1x and 2x, but at 3x, the details are noticeably reduced due to the absence of a telephoto lens, as the image is cropped from the main lens, which greatly impairs the quality. Also, the phone tends to increase the illumination of portrait photos and soften the skin excessively.
As for the front camera, it offers a very special performance in. Selfies appear in excellent quality, both in daytime and night light, making them compete with phones of higher price categories. However, video shooting with the front camera is lower than expected as the front camera only supports 1080p shooting.
As for video shooting, the phone supports 4K shooting with 30 frames per second, with support for optical stabilizer in the main lens, and additional microphone support for noise isolation.
