Smartphone companies in recent years have been obsessed with the idea of manufacturing phones with durable bodies. One of the classic examples of the same is the company Honor. Honor announced the X9b in October of last year. One of the distinguishing features of the device is its greater resistance to falls and its durability in general.
A new smartphone may be announced under the same premise now that the brand is trying to repeat the recipe. The image attached below suggests that it is yet unreleased Honor X9c.
Honor recently released an image in Malaysia, where the Honor X9b is also available, sparking speculation about a potential new device. While the image does not reveal the actual design of the upcoming model, it emphasizes the concept of durability, symbolized by the prominent use of the letter “C.” This has fueled rumors that the company might be preparing to launch a successor to the Honor X9b, with improved durability or features that further reinforce its robust build. The teaser hints at an evolution in the product line, possibly targeting users who prioritize a tough, resilient smartphone.
No further information regarding the design has been established. There is currently no detailed information about the specifications of the new device. However, based on expectations and Honor’s recent trends, it is anticipated that the company will introduce another mid-range smartphone. If the new model follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, it will likely offer a balanced combination of performance and affordability, targeting consumers who seek reliable features without the high price tag of flagship devices. This could include advancements in battery life, display quality, and camera performance while maintaining a focus on durability.
The X9b, released in October of 2023, features Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, a variant with up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, a 5,800 mAh battery, a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen, and three rear cameras (108 + 5 + 2 megapixels).
