The latest addition to the Honor X Series delivers remarkable upgrades across the display, battery and performance with a 120 Hz AMOLED Curved Display, 5,100 mAh battery and 256 GB storage, all packed in a compact design. Available at an exciting price and with gifts during the pre-order, the Honor X9a aims to make technology more accessible with reliable manufacturing to users in the Middle East region.

Designed for a style conscious audience, the Honor X9a is available in three colors: Titanium Silver, Emerald Green and Midnight Black.

An all-round display

The X9a has been designed with a top-tier 120 Hz AMOLED 45-degree curved display, which offers incredible responsiveness while gaming or watching and displays 1.07 billion colors to reproduce vivid images with incredible levels of clarity and true-to-life colors. Coupled with ultra-slim bezels that lead to a remarkable 93 percent screen-to-body ratio and the durable curved tempered glass, the display on the Honor X9a offers an exceptional viewing experience. 

In games where quick reflexes are required, users will appreciate the responsiveness of the X9a’s display, which supports up to a 120 Hz refresh rate and a 300 Hz touch sampling rate, allowing the device to almost instantly register and react to user inputs. Holding the device with one hand, the Honor X9a offers an innovative mistouch prevention enabled by AI technology to prevent unnecessary hassle caused by accidental inputs.

Long-lasting battery 

Despite being just 7.9 mm thin and 175 g in weight, the Honor X9a features an ultra-large 5,100 mAh 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.

On a single full charge, the X9a supports up to two days of daily use for uninterrupted work, play and entertainment on the go. With just 30 minutes of charging, the Honor X9a delivers 12.5 hours of video streaming, sparing users the worry over low battery. The phone, after running more than 1,000 charge-discharge cycles, is still energetic enough to run normally after three years.

Upon purchase, consumers will get free gifts worth SR1,215 including Honor Earbuds X2, a Bluetooth speaker, coffee cup, ring holder, GCC warranty and 6-month screen protection.
