Honor 9X with Kirin 810 SoC and Android 9 Pie will launch in India later this year.
Huawei sub-brand Honor launched the Honor 9X in China back in July as a mid-range smartphone powered by the new Kirin 810 SoC. The Honor 9X was always expected to launch in India considering last year's Honor 8X has been successful for the company in the country. Honor India President Charles Peng has now confirmed that the Honor 9X will come to India by the end of the year.
With the launch of any new Honor or Huawei device, the biggest question on consumers' minds right now will be whether the phone will come with Google apps and services. Peng confirms that the Honor 9X will launch in India with Google Play Store access.
"We are going to launch Honor 9X by the end of this year in India. It will be on Android," Charles Peng, President, Honor India, told Press Trust of India in an interview. Honor 9X was launched with Android Pie-based EMUI 9.1 in July, before the US government ban on Huawei. This means the Honor 9X will run on a full-fledged version of Android with access to Google apps and updates.
Honor 9X sports a 6.59-inch OLED display and is powered by a new Kirin 810 chipset which is based on an efficient 7nm process. The smartphone touts a dual-camera setup that includes a 48MP primary camera and 2MP depth sensor. It houses a 4,000mAh battery and support fast charging.
In addition to the Honor 9X, the company recently announced that it will launch the Honor Vision smart TV in India early next year. The Honor Vision TV runs on HarmonyOS and touts a 55-inch 4K display and an AI pop-up camera, among other things.
