Honor’s smash-hit smartphone continues to be one of the main “guns” in Huawei’s main goal of becoming the world’s largest smartphone maker. It has now been revealed that Honor 9X and 9X Pro have again set records in the world’s largest smartphone market, China. In just 29 days, they managed to surpass the impressive mark of 3 million units sold. This number corresponds to the sales of both models.
Honor remains Xiaomi and Realme’s main rival in China
The two mid-range smartphones were launched as the main rivals of the hugely popular Redmi K20 and K20 Pro, as well as Realme X. All of these smartphones have been a big hit in China, but Honor‘s offerings still have no chance of competition. They are currently available in a total of 5 variants:
Honor 9X
- 4GB + 64GB – for about $195
- 6GB + 64GB – for about $230
- 6GB + 128GB – for about 265$
Honor 9X Pro
