For most modern smartphones, features such as improved durability and AI would normally be found only on flagship models that tout a wide range of usability scenarios coupled with a more expensive price tag. In a bid to shift this mindset, HONOR has introduced the HONOR X9c, the Unbreakable AI Smartphone. As the first mid-range smartphone to incorporate advanced AI features and an intuitive user experience, the HONOR X9c sets a new standard for both durability and features that would otherwise not be found in its product category. Still, HONOR is determined to bring the very best features to its products regardless of price point, and the HONOR X9c is a perfect example of this.
Engineered to Anticipate Life’s Challenges
Durability is a top priority for any smartphone user, and HONOR recognizes the frustration that comes when an accidental drop or impact makes your device unusable. To address this, the HONOR X9c is equipped with HONOR Drop-Resistant Design, providing impressive resistance to falls from heights of up to 2 meters. With significant enhancements in impact resistance compared to previous models, the HONOR X9c also boasts an outstanding IP65M rating for water and dust resistance, allowing it to endure immersion in 25 cm of water for up to 5 minutes, and to operate in extreme temperatures from -30°C to 55°C. Its Cushioning Airbag Protective Case and innovative three-layer waterproof design ensure protection against accidental drops and spills.
Smart User Experience Enabled by MagicOS 8.0
Powered by the latest MagicOS 8.0 based on Android 14, the HONOR X9c offers a truly intelligent and personalized user experience through a host of smart features, designed to assist users in their everyday tasks. AI Magic Portal is an intuitive AI-driven feature that enables the HONOR X9c to understand screen context and offer quick shortcuts to relevant apps.
One example is if you are browsing social media and see a fashionable outfit that you’d like more details on, you can simply long-press on the image and then drag it to the right side bar. You’ll then see more information about the outfit in question, and even suggested links to where you can purchase it from.
Or, if you’re having a lively discussion with friends about where to get the best burgers in town, you can simply select part of the conversation and drag it to the Maps app to get directions to nearby restaurants. You can even use Magic Portal to take quick notes or easily share content to your favourite social media apps, all without having to launch any separate apps.
On the other side, the Parallel Space allows users to separate work and personal data, storing each in two separate and secure locations on the phone itself. This effectively eliminates the need to carry two physical phones, allowing users to seamlessly switch between their work and personal apps on the fly. A useful example of this would be if you’re with friends and want to make plans for lunch, but you’re unsure whether you have any work meetings lined up for the following week. With Parallel Space, you can easily swap between your work and personal calendar to eliminate schedule conflicts, all on a single device.
Lastly, by using Magic Capsule, users no longer have to navigate multiple apps or interrupt tasks, making for a more seamless and convenient user experience. For example, if you’re listening to your favorite playlist while reading an interesting article, you can simply tap on Magic Capsule to quickly expand music controls to skip tracks, without having to navigate to a different app. Or, if you’re receiving a phone call, simply tap on Magic Capsule to see who’s calling and accept or reject the call – all without interrupting what you’re doing on your phone.
AI-powered Smartphone Photography That Challenges Expectations
The HONOR X9c features some of HONOR’s most advanced photography tools yet, all powered by next-generation AI. HONOR X9c’s incredible camera hardware works seamlessly with HONOR AI Motion Sensing allowing you to capture actions and fast movements effortlessly without navigating complicated camera settings. By instantly and intelligently recognizing scenes, the HONOR X9c can automatically adjust camera settings for the ideal shot, even before the camera shutter is pressed. HONOR X9c can detect subtle facial expressions, nature scenes, and even capture dynamic shots with exceptional precision.
Another incredible feature on the HONOR X9c is AI Eraser, which uses AI technology to help eliminate unwanted elements in a photograph. There are countless scenarios where you may take a photo of a once in a lifetime moment, only to later realize that there was someone walking into the frame or some other background distraction. Using AI Eraser, users can simply highlight what they’d like to remove, and the HONOR X9c does the rest. In addition to seamlessly erasing elements, it can also intelligently fill in the area removed so that it blends neatly into the final image.
This is a game-changer for vacation photos in busy tourist areas, where you don’t want precious family memories to be distracted by strangers in the background. Simply tap the people or other elements that you’d like to remove from your photo, and the HONOR X9c does the rest, transforming your family photo into one that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
It’s hard to believe that flagship features such as AI and an intuitive user experience can be found on a mid-range smartphone such as the HONOR X9c. That alone is enough to set it apart from the competition, and positions the HONOR X9c as a daily companion, ready to tackle the day’s tasks with you. From AI photography features that elevate every photo to an intuitive, AI-driven user experience that changes how users interact with their smartphones, the HONOR X9c is ready to withstand any of life’s challenges with ease.
