Honor has finally joined the pop-up camera, bezel-less display trend, launching the Honor 9X and Honor 9X Pro in China.

These new devices herald the first of their kind for the Huawei sub-brand, and, as usual, both come with attractive designs, prices, and specs headlined by the new Kirin 810 chipset.

• Honor 9X (4GB/64GB) – ¥1,399 (P10,419 or $203)
• Honor 9X (6GB/64GB) – ¥1,599 (P11,908 or $232)
• Honor 9X (6GB/128GB) – ¥1,899 (P14,142 or $276)

• Honor 9X Pro (8GB/256GB) – ¥2,399 (P17,866 or $349)

The new Honor 9X series will compete with midrange phones from the likes of Xiaomi, Redmi, and Realme. Hopefully, it will come to other markets, including the Philippines where Honor also operates, soon enough.
