Honor has introduced its latest mid-range smartphone, the Honor X9c 5G, in India. Positioned as a premium offering under ₹20,000, the phone blends style, performance, and durability. It will be available for purchase exclusively via Amazon during the Prime Day Sale from July 12 to 14.
The Honor X9c 5G comes with an introductory price of ₹19,999, down from its original price tag of ₹21,999. This limited-time launch price is inclusive of a flat ₹1,250 discount already applied on Amazon.
In addition to the discounted price:
SBI and ICICI Bank cardholders can avail an extra ₹750 instant discount.
Customers can opt for no-cost EMI for up to 9 months, though this EMI option cannot be combined with the bank discount.
Buyers can also benefit from an exchange offer of up to ₹7,500, depending on the value of the old device.
As a bonus, Honor is offering a free 1-year extended warranty worth ₹1,099.
The phone is available in a single variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, and comes in two elegant color options: Titanium Black and Jade Cyan.
Under the hood, the Honor X9c is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, built on a power-efficient 4nm architecture. The chipset is paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage, ensuring smooth multitasking and lag-free app usage.
This combination makes it a compelling choice for casual gamers, heavy users, and professionals who demand reliable performance at an affordable price point.
One of the standout features of the Honor X9c is its 6600mAh silicon-carbon battery, which promises up to 3 days of battery life on a single charge. It supports 66W fast charging, allowing users to quickly top up their phone in a matter of minutes.
This makes the device especially attractive to users who are always on the move and prefer not to charge their phones frequently.
The front of the phone features a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display with a crisp 1.5K resolution (2700x1224) and a 120Hz refresh rate. The screen also supports 3840Hz PWM dimming, aimed at reducing eye strain during prolonged usage.
Certified by TÜV Rheinland for low blue light and flicker-free viewing, the display is built with user comfort in mind.
Despite its large battery, the device maintains a sleek profile, measuring just 7.98mm in thickness and weighing 189 grams, offering a comfortable in-hand feel.
Honor has focused on durability with the X9c, marketing it as one of the most resilient phones in its segment. It boasts an “Anti-Drop Display” capable of surviving accidental drops from up to 2 meters. Additionally, the phone carries an IP65 rating, offering resistance to dust and splashes — ideal for day-to-day mishaps.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 108MP rear camera, which comes with both optical and electronic image stabilization (OIS + EIS). Whether capturing stills or recording video, the phone delivers clear and steady results.
Honor has also included several AI-powered photography features:
Motion Sensing
AI Eraser
HIGH-RES mode
These tools help users take sharp, vibrant shots in a variety of conditions, including low light and fast movement.
The Honor X9c runs on MagicOS 9.0, based on Android 15. The software brings a host of intelligent features such as:
Magic Portal for easy drag-and-drop content sharing between apps
Gesture-based navigation
Adaptive performance tweaks based on user behavior
This ensures a clean, user-friendly, and intuitive interface that gets better over time.
