Honor silently launched the highly anticipated Honor X9b which is the successor of Honor X9a launched earlier this year. Honor’s Saudi Arabia branch just added the latest midrange handset to its website without an official announcement. The all-new handset brings a lot of updates across the board. It is said to be a proper upgrade to the “indestructible” X9a. It boasts a larger display, better camera configuration, larger battery, and a build that’s geared to withstand use and abuse better in the long run. Let’s dig into the details.

The X9b also comes with a 360-degree whole-device protection. It boasts an Ultra-Bounce Anti-Drop Display tech for an all-round drop resistance for the screen. In addition to that, there is a brand-new cushioning material as well.

Durability Meets Performance
