Editor Rating
3.5/5

Honor X9a is the latest addition to the popular X series of smartphones from the Chinese brand, which is a very nice and affordable mid-range smartphone. It features a sleek and simple design and solid build quality. The rear panel features a minimalist look with a matte frosted finish but is interrupted by a massive camera ring that features the camera sensors spread apart to the four corners of the circle if that makes sense. On the front, you get a vibrant AMOLED display that stretches to the borders and offers a nearly bezel-less look, thanks to a small punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera that sits on the top centre.

Bottom Line

Honor X9a is a nice and affordable smartphone that features an amazing display, a decent processor, usable cameras and a large fast-charging battery to keep it all going. You do lose out on a bit of top-end performance and there is no wireless charging, but the price is pretty affordable.
