Has AI crossed the “wonderment phase” in the smartphone world? Most handset makers now think that this ChatGPT-popularised technology needs to show that it can actually be productive. While Apple and Samsung have already demonstrated its capabilities at the flagship level, Honor’s uniqueness lies in the integration of AI-driven features in its midrangers.
Features like AI-empowered cameras and MagicOS 8.0’s intelligent functions, along with innovative hardware, including its silicon-carbon batteries for extended battery life, and advanced displays with eye-comfort technology. The Honor X9c 5G has all of this and lots more.
It is a tough and sturdy phone that can withstand drops, shocks and extreme conditions. The handset blends good running with a sophisticated aesthetic that stands out from the crowd.
Power of AI in mid-range smartphones
The Honor X9c has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor that supports advanced AI capabilities, superior graphics and processing power for gaming and multitasking, and faster, more reliable 5G connectivity. It also enables better camera functions and more efficient memory. From intelligent app management to seamless multitasking and privacy-enhancing features, MagicOS 8.0 ensures seamless running and an intuitive user experience. The 6600mAh silicon-carbon battery provides a longer battery life and fast charging.
Camera and battery: A closer look
A 108MP OIS Motion Sensing Camera combines a high-resolution sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS) and AI motion detection to produce detailed, stable photos and videos, even when subjects are moving. There’s also a 5MP wide camera, along with a 16MP front-facing camera for selfies. In totality, a sophisticated system designed to deliver high-resolution, sharp, and stable images and videos, nicely handling challenges like low light and fast motion.
I am all praise for this mid-ranger’s performance, strong battery life, and capable camera system. AI advancements are an added plus on this Honor device.
