The mid-budget Honor 9X cannot boast of a metal or glass body; it is made of plastic, but
The design of the rear panel is perfectly arrangedthis is not an iPhone, there is no awkward block of cameras, everything is neatly in line, shifted to the side so that nothing would interfere. The fingerprint pad is located directly under the index finger. However, here the camera module acts, albeit quite a bit. The front camera is retractable, mounted on the upper edge. It works slowly, about a second is required for extension, and the same way takes a way back. Inside there is a gyroscope that gives a signal to the camera, if it is extended and the smartphone goes into free fall. If dropped from a low height, the camera is unlikely to have time to get out. Nevertheless, there is protection, and it works.
Screen
Display Size 6.6 ”, resolution IPS matrix 2340x1080. The frames are rather narrow, side by three millimeters, the top 4 and the bottom - 5 millimeters. The front panel is completely covered with protective glass, the brightness margin is 440, there is an anti-reflective coating, so the information is clearly visible on a sunny day. At night, the brightness automatically decreases. An oleophobic coating is present, and quite high-quality, 1200: 1 contrast ratio, color reproduction is close to natural, sRGB coverage is high, color temperature and balance can be adjusted. For its class, the screen can be considered excellent.
Cameras
The main camera received two modules, the maina module with a 48 megapixel sensor, a second module with a 2 megapixel depth sensor. There is no wide-angle optics in the smartphone. The flash is quite bright, there is a phase detection autofocus. If you enable BB mode, the system itself will set the shooting parameters depending on the scene and environmental conditions.
By default, the main module combines fourpixels in one, images of 12 megapixels are obtained, but with excellent detail. Switching to full 48 makes no sense, such huge photos are needed only in the studio, but no one will do studio shooting on the phone, there is professional equipment for this. The zoom is organized digitally, well suited to better see the details of any remote object. The quality of the photos is generally acceptable, better than that of state employees, but not so much. Excellent shots only in sunlight, noises are already in the room, the quality is degrading. The front camera received a 16 megapixel sensor, selfies are obtained quite decent quality.
Performance
In the engine compartment is registered hereKirin 710F processor, Mali-G51 accelerator is responsible for the graphics. 4 gigabytes of RAM, a 128 gigabyte drive, there is a microSD slot, as well as USB-C with OTG mode.

Autonomy
The 4000 mAh battery provides decent autonomy of the device, in real conditions it is like most smartphones - it lives quietly until the evening, usually everything is put on charge for the night.
