[Shenzhen, China – January 4th, 2023] Global technology brand HONOR today announced the global launch of the HONOR X9a. Embodying the series ethos of going the “eXtra” mile to deliver great user experiences, the HONOR X9a delivers best-in-class visuals and performance with a 120Hz All-round OLED Curved Display¹, high-capacity durable battery and the Qualcomm® Snapdragon® 695 5G Mobile Platform, all engineered to fit in a pocket-sized body. Available at an affordable price, the HONOR X9a is set to make technology and reliable quality more accessible to users around the world. The HONOR X9a is now available in Malaysia starting from RM 1499.

“We are committed to delivering a best-in-class experience for our global customers through continuous technological innovation”, said George Zhao, CEO of HONOR Device Co, Ltd. “Packed with substantial upgrades, the HONOR X9a offers our latest smartphone solutions including an exceptional display and compelling design features without the premium price tag, setting a new standard for the industry’s affordable category.”

An All-round Display for a Remarkable Viewing Experience

The HONOR X9a’s 6.67-inch OLED Curved Display² supports a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels³ and displays up to 1.07 billion colors to reproduce images with incredible levels of detail and vibrancy. Coupled with ultra-slim bezels which lead to a remarkable 93%⁴ screen-to-body ratio, the class-leading display on the HONOR X9a offers an immersive viewing experience, whether in entertainment, work or study scenarios.

The 0.65mm Deeply Reinforced Glass is rigorously tested⁵ to demonstrate exceptional robustness, enabling the curved display to withstand the regular drops, compressions and impacts that the HONOR X9a is subject to in the everyday life of the average smartphone user.

In games where quick reflexes are required, users will appreciate the responsiveness of the HONOR X9a’s display, which supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate⁶ and a 300Hz touch sampling rate⁷, 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.

Certified by TÜV Rheinland⁸ for low blue light emissions, the HONOR X9a is easy on the eyes, and features industry leading 1920Hz PWM Dimming technology to reduce screen flickering, further alleviating eye fatigue stemming from prolonged use.

Exceptionally Slim Design and a Long-lasting Battery in One Device

In line with the X Series’ mission to improve accessibility of HONOR’s technology, the HONOR X9a also inherits the design as the iconic flagship Magic Series camera lock-up, featuring a circular Matrix Star Ring at the back which captivates the viewers as it captures them. Arranged along the Matrix Star Ring, the powerful Triple Camera system – comprising a 64MP Ultra-clear Main Camera⁹, a 5MP Wide Angle Camera and a 2MP Macro Camera – allows users to capture their daily lives in photos and videos that can be shared with friends and family at the touch of a button.

Despite being just 7.9mm¹⁰ thin and 175g¹¹in weight, the HONOR X9a features an ultra-large 5100mAh¹² battery to deliver two full days of use. On a single charge, the HONOR X9a supports up to 29 hours of online music streaming, 24 hours of video streaming, 19 hours of online short video browsing, up to 21 hours of social media exploring or 11 hours of gaming ¹³, perfect for users who prefer to remain active throughout the day without having to worry about running out of power. With just 30 minutes of charging, the HONOR X9a delivers 12.5 hours of video streaming¹⁴, sparing users the worry over low battery. The battery performance is evaluated by DXOMARK, a trusted industry standard for smartphone quality assessment, which awarded the smartphone the Gold Label in recognition of its outstanding battery user experience.

Smooth Mobile Experience with HONOR RAM Turbo

Featuring the latest Qualcomm® Snapdragon® 695 5G Mobile Platform, the HONOR X9a delivers robust performance across productivity and entertainment apps. The user experience is further enhanced by HONOR RAM Turbo, which enables the smartphone to use a section of the storage as RAM to keep more apps active¹⁵ for more efficient multitasking.

Running the Android 12-based Magic UI 6.1 operating system, the HONOR X9a comes with an Anti-aging Engine that minimizes performance degradation over time to ensure a consistent, smart user experience. Featuring HONOR Share¹⁶ and Multi-screen Collaboration¹⁷, the HONOR X9a enables speedy file transfers and efficient multi-tasking across HONOR devices including smartphones, laptops and tablets, bringing users unparalleled productivity.

HONOR X7a: Another New Member of X Series to Bring Users eXtra Power

HONOR also introduced the HONOR X7a to bolster the reliable X Series line-up. Packed with a 6,000mAh¹⁸ battery in a slim and chic body, the HONOR X7a delivers the best battery life among all X Series smartphones to date. The new smartphone also boasts powerful hardware with its 50MP Ultra-clear Quad Camera system, 128GB¹⁹ storage and a 6.74-inch²⁰ HONOR FullView Display, offering a well-rounded use experience throughout the day.

Designed for a style conscious audience, the HONOR X9a is available in three stunning colors²¹: Titanium Silver, Emerald Green and Midnight Black, while the HONOR X7a is available in Titanium Silver, Ocean Blue and Midnight Black²².
