Honor has long been the king of wallet-friendly smartphones and the all-new Honor X9a stays true to form.

The new blower pairs a 120Hz AMOLED curved display with a massive battery, along with decent storage all for around a quarter the price of this year’s iPhone.

The Honor X9a has a 120Hz AMOLED 45-degree curved display with ultra-slim bezels which results in a barely-there screen-to-body ratio. In games where quick reflexes are necessary, the phone supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate and a razer-sharp 300Hz touch sampling rate.

The Honor X9a has an innovative slim design with a symmetrical “dynamic eye” camera on the back (basically, it’s a big old circle). The back of the phone also has three cameras and a flashlight that are placed evenly along that ring.

The triple camera system – with a 64MP ultra-clear main camera, a 5MP wide-angle camera, and a 2MP macro camera – means there’s little it can’t do.

Despite being just 7.9mm thin and 175g in weight, the Honor X9a features an ultra-large 5100mAh battery to support up to 29 hours of YouTube Music streaming, 24 hours of YouTube streaming, 19 hours of TikTok browsing, up to 21 hours of social media exploring or 11 hours of gaming on a single charge.

The Honor X9a includes a built-in 256GB storage.

The Honor X9a smartphone is available right now for a budget-friendly AED1300 from all good gadget stores.
