How Does the Honor 9X Compare to Other Budget Phones?

The Honor 9X is one of our favorite budget phones of 2019. While the Honor 9X implemented lots of great features into their device, other companies have put out some really competitive options. See how the Honor 9X compares to the competition.

Honor 9X €299.00

The Honor 9X is the first in the X-series line to feature a pop-up camera. This pop-up camera has a fully motorized design. When the selfie mode is activated, the camera will quickly rise from the top of the phone. To really enhance the full-screen notch-free effect of the phone, Honor fitted a larger display into the phone at 6.59″. The end result is a large full screen phone with a very convenient motorized pop-up camera.

With the 9X, Honor put a great deal of attention into the photography aspect of this phone. The device is fitted with a 48MP triple camera that includes an 8MP ultra-wide lens and a 2MP depth sensor. The f/1.8 aperture is paired with the half-inch sensor to produce super clear photos. The AIS super night mode promises improve your low-light photos. Observe some of our initial sample shots here.

Honor 9X Selfie Camera

Aside from the pop-up camera, the Honor 9X sports some fantastic specs and features for a phone under €300. The Honor 9X features the Kirin 710F and 6GB of RAM. There are other models that come with the Kirin 810, but for one reason or another this isn’t included in every model. This makes the processor a very mild upgrade from the previous Honor 8X which came with the Kirin 710. With that being said, there is not much to criticize when it comes to performance on this phone.

Honor 9X	Specs
Chipset	HiSilicon Kirin 710F
RAM/Storage	4/6GB 64/128GB
Display	6.59″ 1080x2340p
Selfie Camera	Motorized pop-up 16 MP
Main Camera	48+8+2MP
GPU	Mali-G51 MP4
Battery	4000mAh
Software	Android 9.0 EMUI 9.1

Overall, the Honor 9X is the best of the X-Series so far. While the camera is usually the main feature to suffer in budget phones, the 48MP shooter on the 9X is actually one of the best aspects of this device. The Honor 9X is a great deal for anyone looking to get the most out of their smartphone camera.

This is the best phone under €300 in 2019, but there are plenty of other great budget phones that came out this year. See some of the other good options below.

Motorola Moto One Action $249.99

Motorola Moto One Action

The Moto One Action has really great specs for the price, but stands out because of the unique 21:9 display. Very few phones have this aspect ratio, and most of them have much higher prices. This makes the Moto One Action special, as an entry level phone for those who are looking for this type of display. Aside from this, you’ll have a triple camera setup for great photos.
