| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Unique, striking glass rear panel design - one of the best looking phones in this price range, with its Sapphire Blue finish combined with Honor’s trademark reflective geometric tiles (the Midnight Black colour option is much more subdued though)
- The front is modern and cutting edge too, with a 'full screen' notch-less display thanks to the pop-up selfie camera mechanism (its the cheapest pop-up selfie camera phone, as of today)
- There’s a fingerprint sensor on the back that works well
- Large, surprising bright, 6.59-inch Full HD+ IPS display - overall quality of the display is really good for an affordable smartphone
- The lack of a notch makes watching video and playing games much more immersive
- Honor's EMUI based on Android 9 Pie (with all Google services and access to Play Store) is in a good place these days and is one of the better custom Android skins - there are no ads here and a decent assortment of useful extras (the lack of Android 10 at the time of the launch is a letdown)
- This might also be one of the last Honor phones to provide access to the Google app ecosystem (because of the ongoing ban on Huawei by the Trump administration, future models of Honor might not have access to Google Play Services)
- Good, fast mid-range performance with the Kirin 710F SoC (similar to the Snapdragon 660) - Honor 9X will do for lag-free daily operations and stutter-free gaming
- Good triple camera setup at the rear - 48-megapixel primary + 8-megapixel wide-angle camera + 2-megapixel depth sensor
- In good lighting, the primary camera can shoot decent 12MP pixel binned photos - exposure is good in most environments, white balance and the colours are pretty accurate too - there's an AI mode that can boost colours even more
- Low-light performance is good for a phone in this price bracket - noise is kept reasonably in check even in very dark shots - Night Mode also helps boost the phone’s low light capabilities, provided you have steady hands
- Depth sensor works pretty well and produces some good portrait shots
- Good 16MP pop-up selfie camera - shots are detailed, colours are accurate, and the contrast is nice
- Very good battery life with a 4000 mAh cell - will easily see you through a full day and a half of moderate use
- Honor 9X continues Honor's tradition of making good quality, desirable, but affordable phones with its eye-catching looks, notch-less display and good set of triple cameras (it's far from perfect though, with the lack of fast charging and the year old processor)
|
- Classy, attractive, well-built design, with a glass back - it looks much more premium than its price would suggest
- The glass back has a light-reflecting finish that can't match the likes of the Honor View 20 or Honor 20 Lite for 'wow' factor, but which is nonetheless eye-catching
- The front of the phone is a unique 21:9 'tall & narrow' screen, with a punch hole front camera (a feature that's so far been restricted to flagship handsets like the Galaxy S10 series)
- The narrow dimensions means the phone is fairly easy to use one-handed
- The handset has been finished with a water repellent coating that gives it an IP52 rating for dust and water resistance - that's enough to survive splashes
- Well located (and fast) fingerprint sensor on the back
- Responsive face unlock
- The FHD+ 6.3in display looks nice and the 21:9 aspect ratio is perfect for those that want to enjoy ultra-wide 'cinematic view' movies on Netflix
- Being part of the Android One series, you get a clean stock Android experience, alongside regular updates
- Motorola adds a few useful extras, as always: the usual Gestures are present, including shaking the handset to open the camera, doing a 'karate chop' to toggle the torch on and off, and tapping the screen with three fingers to take a screenshot
- All-round speedy/snappy performance with a Samsung Exynos 9609 processor (similar to Snapdragon 710)
- Good rear camera setup (48MP standard + 5MP depth) - it gives good all-round results, day and night, photo and video - the overall quality is similar the Redmi Note 7 Pro
- Night Vision mode also delivers some good night shots
- OIS too helps with low-light photos
- Portrait shots are good too, with good separation
- Good 25MP selfie camera too (though it's on the slow side when shooting at full 25MP resolution)
- Decent speaker on the bottom edge - delivers decent volume
- Decent (though not exceptional) battery life with a 3500mAh battery - you will get the full day with moderate use - there are many competitors who are ahead in this area though
- Fast charging support
- Overall, if it's a pure Android experience that you are after, the One Vision is a good all-round mid-range option which ticks almost all boxes, and also stands out from the crowd, with a stylish design, a 'cinematic' display, and the punch hole front camera

| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- The Honor 9X is a gargantuan handset - it certainly isn’t built for small hands or pockets - also a bit heavy at 197gm
- Face Unlock is not available on the Honor 9X
- If you are an Android purist, and prefer stock like Android and minimal bloat, you should look elsewhere
- Sadly, Honor 9X is far from being the most powerful smartphone at this price range, there are better options available, like the Redmi Note 8 Pro with MediaTek G90T & the Realme 5 Pro with Snapdragon 712
- The image quality from wide-angle camera is disappointing (however, it does provide exaggerated perspective shots on the cheap)
- Video performance is average from both primary and wide-angle cameras - there's no 4K here and no electronic stabilisation at Full HD
- Overall, while the Honor 9X offers good cameras for the price, Xiaomi & Realme offer even better cameras
- The phone’s single speaker is average at best
- The phone doesn’t sport any nifty fast-charging technology - it takes a painfully long 128 minutes to fully charge the 4000 mAh battery
- If you're looking for an all-rounder, you'll have better luck with the Redmi Note 8 Pro or the Realme 5 Pro, especially in terms of processing power and faster charging
|
- With the tall dimensions, pocket-ability is not that great, so the phone will tend to protrude out of shallow pockets
- The punch-hole is on the large side - which makes it both a bit of an eyesore, and on occasion an obstacle to the cinematic immersion
- There is not a lot of cinema content available right now to take advantage of the 21:9 aspect ratio
- There is some strong competition though that's worth looking at, including the Galaxy A50 (larger AMOLED with in-display fingerprint scanner, and better battery life, though camera is not as good), the Poco F1 (much more powerful performance, though design is not as modern), and the Redmi Note 7 Pro (cheaper, better battery life, though MIUI is not as clean/simple as stock Android)
