But now, the tide has shifted as we want our smartphones to be as big as possible.

And big is what the HONOR 9X is.

The upcoming phone from the Chinese smartphone maker is big in every way – the screen, the storage, the power, etc. – but small in price.

If you’re not convinced yet, here are some reasons why some of the best surprises come in a big package:

#1 Big display

With most flagship phones these days boasting screens of at least 6.4 inches, it’s no wonder that HONOR has decided to make the screen of the 9X as big as they can go.

The HONOR 9X boasts a massive 6.59-inch screen, which is bigger than the Samsung Note 10 and even the iPhone 11 Pro. It also boasts HONOR’s gorgeous FullView Display, which means that the HONOR 9X is basically an all-screen smartphone (it has a 91 per cent screen-to-body ratio), with no notch and extremely thin side bezels. Simply gorgeous, don’t you think?

So, where’s the front camera? It’s hidden away, as the HONOR 9X features a pop-up 16MP front camera, so there’s no need for a notch.

#2 Big battery

These days, it’s almost a certain that smartphones need to have a big battery capacity, and the HONOR 9X does not disappoint at all.

It boasts a 4,000mAh battery, which is more than enough for your daily needs. In fact, reviews have pointed out that you could get through an entire day of heavy usage and still have enough battery to last you through the night.

The HONOR 9X is powered by a powerful and highly-responsive 6GB of RAM, which ensures that all your favourite games and apps run smoothly with great power efficiency.

#3 Big storage space

Why buy a phone that constantly runs out of space every time you take a hundred selfies, right?

The HONOR 9X comes with up to 6GB +128GB of internal storage and if that’s not enough for you, you can plug in a 512GB microSD card so that you can have the storage space of an average laptop.

With the 9X’s three-camera set up at the back – 48MP main camera, 2MP depth assist camera and 8MP super wide-angle camera – you’ll need as much space as possible to store all your crisp videos and pretty pictures.

Convinced that you need to get one?

Well, you should, based on all the BIG things we’ve just told you.

The HONOR 9X can be purchased now at RM999 at hihonor, Lazada, Shopee, and HONOR experience store.

From now until 5 January 2020, you can trade in your pre-loved HONOR phones to save up to RM350 in trade in value for the new HONOR 9x. For more info on the value of your used HONOR phones, you can refer to the table here.
