IIE DIGITAL DESK : Honor is making a triumphant return to India with its X9c 5G, officially set to launch on July 7, and go on sale via Amazon from July 12, marking a significant move after rumors of its exit from the market .

The X9c makes a striking first impression with its curved 6.78-inch AMOLED display, boasting a 1.5K resolution, 120 Hz refresh rate, and 3,840 Hz PWM dimming, certified by TÜV Rheinland for reduced flicker and low blue light . Its sleek profile—just 7.98 mm thick and weighing 189 g—complements a robust IP65M rating for dust and splash resistance, while an SGS-certified shock-resistant frame offers extra durability .

At the back, X9c features a 108 MP main sensor (f/1.7) equipped with both OIS and EIS, alongside up to 3× lossless zoom, ensuring crisp, shake-free images . A secondary 5 MP module completes the dual-camera setup. For selfies and video calls, the device offers a 16 MP front camera .

One of the standout highlights is the 6,600 mAh silicon-carbon battery, which combines longevity with 66 W fast charging, promising to power through a full day in just minutes . Under the hood, it runs on the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, paired with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, and ships with Android 15-based MagicOS 9.0, offering intelligent features like AI Motion Sensing, AI Erase, and the cross-app Magic Portal .

The X9c 5G will debut in two stylish finishes—Jade Cyan and Titanium Black—at launch, with a third option, Titanium Purple, already available globally .Post-July 12, the phone will be sold exclusively through Amazon India.

Beyond its splash-proof and drop-resistant build, the phone supports dual stereo speakers for enhanced audio, NFC, dual-SIM 5G, Bluetooth 5.1, Wi‑Fi, GPS, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. Its structural rigour ensures performance even under extreme conditions, backed by Honor’s power management system .

Unveiled globally in November 2024, the X9c entered the mid-range segment with a compelling balance: high-resolution camera, powerful battery, vibrant AMOLED screen, and standout durability—elements that resonate with Indian consumers increasingly focusing on all-round value . Given its rich feature set and strong post-launch support, it positions well against similarly spec’d devices from Redmi, OnePlus, and Samsung.

  • First Sale (July 12): Launch week offers could include bank discounts, extended warranties, or bundled accessories.

  • Post-Launch Reviews: Early reviews will focus on camera quality, battery endurance, UI performance, and resilience tests.

The Honor X9c 5G offers an impressive array of flagship-grade specs—especially its battery and imaging strengths—at a mid-range price point. As the device lands in Indian hands, its real-world endurance and feature reliability will determine whether Honor reclaims its place in the competitive smartphone market.
