Inside, the Honor X9 5G is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G SoC, making it one of the first smartphones in the industry to ship with this chipset. The 6nm advanced processor is backed by the Qualcomm Adreno GPU and Qualcomm Kryo 660 CPU. The latter is useful for social media, browsing the web and daily surfing whereas the processor’s GPU helps make gaming smoother.

Pairing with this hardware is Honor’s RAM Turbo (8GB + 2GB), which moves a portion of flash memory to RAM. This means that the 8GB of RAM in the smartphone can be increased to 10GB of RAM which is useful for having many applications in memory. This is done by compressing background applications and stopping background processes from getting killed when you switch applications. We often find ourselves having to take a call, write a message and have a video running simultaneously if we are at work. Or, when we use our smartphone for navigation, it is frustrating having the maps application close just because you picked up someone’s incoming call. With RAM Turbo from Honor, these problems become a thing of the past.

Just plugging it in during the time you get ready in the morning can charge the Honor X9 5G enough to last your through the day. Moreover, this quick top-up speed ensures that you can continue to enjoy using the Honor X9 5G even on the go.

There is a 4,800mAh battery in the phone which delivers north of 10 hours of gaming and 16 hours of social media browsing on a single charge making it the perfect device for those who want enhanced battery performance throughout the day. Often, you will find that the Honor X9 5G lasts up to two days on a single charge with moderate to heavy usage even on 5G which is incredibly convenient.
