Earlier this month, Honor began teasing a new launch in their X series, with several leaks confirming key features of the devices. Today, they unveiled the Honor 9X and Honor 9X Pro as the latest offering in their “premium mid-range” category. These devices don’t pack the same punch as Honor’s high-end phones, but they still offer a compelling package for a much more affordable price tag.
See full device specs here
The design of the two phones is incredibly similar. If not for a few minor differences, you may not be able to tell them apart. They both feature colorful models with an X-shaped gradient effect, very slim bezels, pop-up cameras, vertical camera arrangements, buttons in the same location, and plain “HONOR” branding on the back. It’s an attractive design that is, admittedly, becoming a bit stale.

The main external feature that differentiates the Honor 9X from the 9X Pro is the camera arrangement. The Honor 9X Pro has three cameras in a stack with the flash underneath. The Honor 9X has the same vertical arrangement, but the third camera spot is occupied by the flash, since the standard variant only has two cameras.
The Honor 9X and 9X Pro will be available in a variety of color options. As mentioned, this is a really nice looking design, but we’ve seen it a lot. Slim bezels with eye-catching gradient colors is not as unique as it used to be. The X-shaped pattern will appeal to users who want a flashy back similar to what we saw on the Honor View 20, while the black color variant will provide a more reserved and flat look.
Moving past the design, the Honor 9X Pro is the “Pro” model largely because of the extra camera. The 9X has a 48MP main sensor and a 2MP secondary sensor. Meanwhile, the 9X Pro has the 48MP main sensor, plus 8MP and 2MP secondary sensors.
A key features on both of these new devices is the presence of the HiSilicon Kirin 810 SoC. The Kirin 810 is a big generational leap over the Kirin 710, and it claims to bring performance that is comparable to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 730, if not better. Considering how the Snapdragon 730 is said to be Qualcomm’s third most powerful mobile processor, it puts into perspective how the Kirin 810 is placed. The Honor 9X Pro variant is also said to feature “liquid cooling”, though this is likely be a reference to a vapor chamber-based system instead of active water cooling.
Honor 9X and Honor 9X Pro – Pricing and Availability
The Honor 9X will be available in China in Phantom Red, Phantom Blue and Magic Night Black colors, for a price of CNY 1,399 (~$203) for the 4GB/64GB variant, CNY 1599 (~$232) for the 6GB/64GB variant, and CNY 1899 (~$276) for the 6GB/128GB variant. The phone is on pre-order and will be available from July 30, 2019.
The Honor 9X Pro will be available in China from August 9, 2019, in Phantom Purple and Magic Night Black colors, for a price of CNY 2,199 (~$320) for the 8GB/128GB variant and CNY 2,399 (~$349) for the 8GB/256GB variant.

What will there be in the advanced version of the UMi Super, you wonder? For one, it will be our first phone with dual rear cameras. Yes, you read it right; the UMi Super advanced edition (model name to be announced later) will feature dual rear cameras, including a 13 MP sensor from none other than Sony.
That is not all. UMi will go all guns blazing on this one, and will ship the UMi Super advanced edition with a 10-core processor with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage by default.
UMi have put our heart into the engineering of our phones, and it is time for high-end buyers to consider UMi phones. UMi wish to be seen in the same league as other phones such as the Huawei P9, Honor V8, Honor 6 Plus… but better!
New Umi Super "Advanced" Key points:
10-core processor
Dual rear camera (13MP Sony)

10-Core CPUs are only made by Mediatek, so it might feature the latest Helio X20, or even better X25, that as seen on the Meizu Pro 6, is just a beast. The most powerful Mediatek CPU ever made.
Also it will feature a Super Metal Chassis, ultra-thin and seems pretty solid too.
UMi have put our heart into the engineering of our phones, and it is time for high-end buyers to consider their phones. UMi wish to be seen in the same league as other phones such as the Huawei P9, Honor V8, Honor 6 Plus… but why not, even better!

Let's hope it doesn't have all the hardware issues that people had with the UMi Super... GPS useless when navigating, screen issues, network switching issues, WiFi strength, fingerprint recognition, battery drain.

Not experiencing any of those things with my Super. Ok, GPS isn't great but not terrible. Battery life is amazing, 2-3 days with moderate use. No wifi issues, much stronger than the Ulefone Be Touch 2 I had before. Fingerprint rarely fails and when it does it works on the second attempt.
Smartphone giant Honor launched its latest flagship smartphone Honor 8 in India on12th October. The Honor 8 has been priced at Rs. 29,999 (INR). Honor unveiled the youth-centric flagship phone in July 2016 in international market and that became an instant hit for its nifty features.

The phone was launched by Bollywood celebs Randeep Hooda and Nimrat kaur. Honor President George Zhao graced the occasion. MTV presenter Bani J anchored the event.
The event was very successful with a large crowd from the media. Core fans made it even more special with their presence.
Let's talk about the design, look and specifications of the phone.
Honor 8 comes with The innovative bionic 12MP dual lenses, one lens allows for rich color and the other lens is monochrome to give your images more details, light and increased sharpness. Together they help you capture crisper, more detailed photos of stunning quality to match up the standard of a DSLR camera. Phone has a built-in dual ISP which improves focus, speed, and process time when you take pictures and hence the images are more stabilized, crisp and of best quality. Phone has a 8 MP front shooter as well with perfect selfie mode to give you the best in class selfie images.
Honor 8 comes with Android Marshmallow out of the box with Huawei’s EMUI 4.1 skin on top and sports a 5.2 inch full HD IPS screen display. The 5.2-inch FHD display with a 96% NTSC, color enhancement, and dynamic pixel-level contrast adjustment provides a better viewing experience, with vivid and crisp images. The display looks stunning. Phone is powered by Huawei’s in house Hi-Silicon Kirin 950 chipset (4x2.3 GHz Cortex-A72 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex A53) with i5 co-processor and leading 16nm FinFET plus SoC coupled with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM enables flawless multitasking and seamless gaming.
The Honor 8 variant launched in India comes with 32GB of inbuilt storage and is expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB). On connectivity options, the Honor 8 includes 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac (latest ac band is included for faster and better Wi-Fi connectivity), Bluetooth v4.2 which supports Bluetooth low energy (BLE) and fast charging support.
Phone will be available in few latest and popular color options in the market mainly Pearl White, Sapphire Blue, Sunrise Gold color variants in India. The sapphire blue color looks stunning and now we know the reason why the same was liked and appreciated in the European market and phone became very popular in the region and will surely start a trend of new color for handset.
The smartphone features a 3000mAh battery. With 9V/2A fast-charging technology the battery gets charged up to 47% in just 30 minutes and have you covered for the entire day so you need not to worry about the phone running out of juice in critical time. And this time user need not to worry about the fast charger to buy them separately as the phone comes with the fast charger out of the box.
Additionally, during the launch, the company also announced the Honor 8 Smart variant and Honor Holly 3 phone priced at Rs. 19,999 and Rs. 9,999 respectively.

Honor 8 did not satisfy me as it doesn't have dual sim support
Seems that it won't support VoLTE out of the box.
Honor 8 Smart is similar to Honor 5C. There are few plus points in it which are mentioned in my post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5c/how-to/honor-5c-vs-honor-8-smart-difference-t3479156 . Still its not worth for double the amount of 5C.

Maybe later or not much people in India using dual sim yet...
Reliance Jio 4g has arrived india just now which is providing free calls and data till december 16.
Sinve it is a newly launched network, most of us are thinking to give it a try without sacrificing our primary sim.
So especially a this point of time where people are expecting dual sim, the single sim variant won't be that much useful as we are unable to use freely available things
Too bad they didn't go with dual sim

I wanted to trade in my 4x, worth about CNY 300, for this 6x, but then I notice its with Kirin SoC. I think I should wait for a while to see.
Here is the official first look video of Honor 6x.

Its not gonna get its processor from outside while having its own processor. Forget buying it if this is your mindset.
For the average consumer the SOC is just a bunch of letters.
The consumers who do look for development are a restricted group.
It´s a good device, though. Too bad about development support.
Honor 6x is on limited sale via offical HUAWEI online store VMALL... Starting at GMT+8 Nov-1, 10:08AM, the order queue is very long...

I highly doubt so, HUAWEI using its own SoC to reduce costs, if go back to SD625/650, there would be a price spike...

No way. It will be using the same Kirin processor. The cost is similar to Honor 5X due to the usage of Kirin.

Mate 9 Pro owner here. I was on the fence, but ultimately went for the 9 pro. Here's the deal as I saw it- the 9 pro and 10 plus are veeeeeery similar. They have the same SoC and many of the same internals. The big differences are display (9 pro has AMOLED) expandable storage (9 pro has none) and a slightly different camera (9 pro has f2.2 aperture on the rear) There are also small size and cosmetic differences, and the 9 pro has a bigger battery.
Though the claim is that the 9 pro does not have expandable storage, this might not truly be the case. According to my talk with Huawei's tech support, the 9 pro has the same sim/sd internals, just a different tray. The tech said none of them understand why Huawei set up the dual sim tray. So I bought another sim tray for a 9, and if it allows me to use my sd card, I will let the community know- it pretty much eliminates the biggest negative of this phone. There are some other considerations:
- Indications are that the 9 pro's AMOLED is better for VR. It is already daydream ready. The bigger battery is a huge plus here. 10plus IPS will probably have better color representation and a few more ppi...
- Mate 9 pro international is going to be about $200 USD less than the equivalent 10 plus (128gb storage) which is looking to touch the $1K mark.
- 10 plus will have the extra f stop of 1.8 which is better in most ways. The software suite looks a bit better as well.
- 10 plus has the 5.1 skin, though Huawei claims 9 pro's will get that update when the 10's hit the market.
- If you are in the US, it honestly remains to be seen whether the 10's play well with carriers. I am on T Mobile and the 9 pro worked perfectly out of the box.
Honestly, if it turns out the sim tray works, the only real reason to get a 10 plus is the slight camera improvement. But it's going to be a couple hundred more in cost, and you get a smaller capacity battery.
Hope this helps.

MariSilicon X Imaging NPUThe main camera consists of a 50+13+50MP setup with IMX 766 Flagship dual primary cameras, and the front camera is 32MP. To make the most out of the powerful photography capabilities on this phone, OPPO included a dedicated NPU for image processing. Using this dedicated NPU, the camera will be able to perform better in difficult lighting, produce amazing HDR photos, capture 4K Ultra Night Video, and give you ultra-clear photography.
SuperVOOC ChargingReady for the next leap in charging technology? The OPPO Find X5 Pro is going to deliver with SuperVOOC. This phone is capable of incredible 80W charging. Do you prefer wireless charging? Even with a wireless charging setup, you can get up to 50W charging capability. Of course, reverse wireless charging is available as well, which allows you to use the Find X5 Pro as a wireless charger for compatible devices. You'll have up to 10W of charging power when using this function. With speeds like this, you'll spend far less time charging your phone, and more time enjoying the large 5000mAh capacity.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1OPPO made sure to equip this phone with the latest technology in mobile processing power. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip includes the Adreno 730 GPU. This combination will give you fantastic performance with any apps or games you use on your phone. This chipset produces high performance with very low power consumption, making your phone fast without a lot of stress on the battery. Network quality is also improved with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, as it supports fiber-level low-latency 5G networks. Pair this powerful processing technology with options for 12GB of RAM, and you have one of the most powerful phones on the market.
