Slim phone with large battery is all anger these days. The smartphone brand, especially people located outside China, have detected the formula to do so, now continuously, it is becoming increasingly new. This has become so normal, even such phones that are technically budget-oriented have started getting the same mojo. Honor X9C – which we are reviewing today – is one of them. It is thin and light and packs a spacious 6,600mAh battery. But even more important thing is that it starts from just Rs 21,999.
Those days have come when you had to choose one or the other and keep in mind how far you have to spread your wallet to reach the middle ground. Obviously, now you can do all this. By that path, the question is, what about other things? For example, what performance does the performance look, how good the performance is, or if its cameras can shoot well? We will try to answer these questions one by one in this India.
Honor X9C Review: Design
The Honor X9C is a head-turner, and it is saying a lot that it costs less than Rs 25,000. Only less than 8 mm and weight less than 190 grams, it feels feather-light for its shape. Curves on the sides do not just look good, they make a pleasure to catch it. On the back, the spherical camera bump does something the same that you normally see on the high price handset, lending a sense of luxury to the device.
The phone is available in two colors – Titanium Black and Z Sian. We have the latter for reviews, and it looks beautiful. The back panel has a marble -like texture with a beautiful light blue color.
It is smooth for touch, but towards the flip, it is a tendency to slide your palm, your couch, or even if you are not careful if you are not careful. It is very slippery. Fortunately, Honor bundled a clear case in the box to offset himself to save some mini-horses attacks.
In addition, Honor also gave the phone IP65M certification, which means that it is resistant to dust and low pressure water jets. It can also avoid a two-meter decline on concrete, claims of respect, so you can relax. It can be assured that it is solid (but be careful, anyway).
Honor X9C Review: Performance
The Honor X9C’s 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display is the place where things are more exciting. It is big and smooth, thanks to its 120Hz refresh rate. Watching or scrolling videos through social feed seems liquid and immersive. Colors on the display are also very accurate.
Shine is another strong suit. The Honor claims that the performance may hit a shocking high 4,000 nits. This means that even in the afternoon, you will still see your screen clearly.
However there is a warning, however: Honor X9C does not support HDR playback. Therefore, while your YouTube and Netflix currents look good, they have additional punch deficiency and vice versa HDR-competent displays delivered.
Honor X9C Review: Performance
Under the hood, the Honor X9C Snapdragon 6 packs 1 chipset, which is combined with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB storage. Day to day functions, such as messages, browsing, streaming, run without hiccups. Apps open quickly, and multitasking feels quite smooth between them.
To carry forward the performance, we conducted some benchmark tests. On Geekbench, the phone scored 944 on single-core and 2,773 runs on multi-core.
After a week with the phone, it is clear that when it is designed for everyday use, it is not designed to be a powerhouse. Keep it under pressure with graphically demanded games or heavy multitasking and it starts lagging behind. As a daily driver it is more than capable, but it will not satisfy the gamer in you.
On the software side, the Honor X9C vessels with Magicus 9 were late at Android 15. The interface is bright and smooth, and it brings some clever characteristics such as AI Erez, Deepfek Detection and Magic Portal 2.0 for quick multitasking.
Blotware is appropriate, although for some reason, a phone ship with Tikok, an app that is prohibited on privacy and security concerns in India.
Honor X9C Review: Camera
Back, X9C sport a 108-megapixel primary camera with OIS with a 5-megapixel ultravide lens. The main camera captures wide vibrant shots, but the color may feel slightly saturated.
Green in a picture pops too much, the sky becomes unnaturally blue, and they are actually compared to the shadow darker. This is not always right for life, but it definitely makes your photos Instagram-Reddy without any editing.
Coming into portrait mode, the phone does good with edge detection, which gives your subject a crisp cut-out. In this price section, the portrait mode feels gimmick but the Honor X9C corrects it.
The front-faceing camera takes a clean selfie, and the Honor has fun tools such as multi-video mode, which lets you record with front and rear cameras at the same time.

Honor X9C Review: Battery
Now, here is where the honor X9C actually flexes. Inside a huge 6,600mAh silicon-carbon cell seats, and it is a patient champion. I consider myself to be a heavy user, from the biping Netflix and YouTube, continuously surfing on the Internet, just do dumsling endlessly.
In short, the phone is almost always in my hand. For such heavy use, the Honor X9C battery proves ideal. Start the day with a full fee, and it easily stays through all that, yet leaving enough power to some more videos while sleeping.
Charging is also impressive. 66W fast charger can push the phone up to 90 percent within 50 minutes.
Honor X9C Review: Is it worth it?
For Rs 21,999, the Honor X9C is undoubtedly a solid daily driver. It performs excellent performance on compulsory, which most people care about: a surprising curved performance, ultra-slim design, marathon battery life, and a camera that produces social media-taiyar shots. But this is not without some shortcomings. Cameras sometimes overdo color saturation and HDR disappears from that otherwise beautiful screen.
Overall, if you are looking for a smartphone of less than Rs 25,000 that works decency in all departments, the Honor X9C is easily recommended.
