Designed for a style-conscious audience, the HONOR X9a is available in three stunning colours: titanium silver and midnight black.

An all-round display for a remarkable viewing experience

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

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 rate and a 300Hz 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.

Certified by TÜV Rheinland 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 for safer, more comfortable reading. 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.

Exceptionally slim design with the iconic 'dynamic eye'

Inheriting the same iconic circular camera layout as HONOR’s flagship Magic Series line-up, the HONOR X9a features a symmetrical dynamic eye camera design at the back, making premium smartphone design more accessible. Placing the three cameras and the flashlight equally along the star ring, the HONOR X9a brings the beauty of balance and harmony to life.

Shaped the cameras as star eyes in a perfect circle, the dynamic eye design on the HONOR X9a features a crisp, clean rim that leaves more space inside than the previous generation, and it is to compose diversity and beauty in a balanced circular space, also taking forms from them. The matrix star ring is the star's eye to see beauty. From atoms to star, the beauty of circular space is everything everywhere. The minimalist yet elegant design symbolizes the limitless potential of everyone, inspiring users to harness their creativity and achieve more in life.

Arranged along the dynamic, the powerful triple camera system – comprising a 64MP ultra-clear main camera, 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.

The long-lasting battery in a compact design

Despite being just 7.9mm thin and 175g in weight, the HONOR X9a features an ultra-large 5100mAh 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, perfect for users who prefer to remain active throughout the day without having to worry about running out of power.
