An all-round display The Honor X9a is equipped with a 120Hz AMOLED 45-degree curved display, coupled with ultra-slim bezels which lead to a 93 per cent screen-to-body ratio and the durable curved tempered glass. In games where quick reflexes are required, the smartphone supports up to a 120Hz refresh rate and a 300Hz touch sampling rate, allowing the device to almost instantly register and react to user inputs. Certified by TÜV Rheinland for low blue light emissions, the device is easy on the eyes, and features 1920Hz PWM Dimming technology to reduce screen flickering, further alleviating eye fatigue stemming from prolonged use for safer, more comfortable reading. Holding the device with one hand, the Honor X9a offers an innovative mistouch prevention enabled by AI technology to prevent unnecessary hassle caused by accidental inputs. Innovative slim design The Honor X9a features a symmetrical dynamic eye camera design at the back, making premium smartphone design more accessible. It also places three cameras and the flashlight equally along the star ring. Meanwhile, the dynamic eye design features a crisp, clean rim that leaves more space inside than the previous generation, and it is to compose the diversity and beauty in a balanced circular space, also taking forms from them. The triple camera system – comprising a 64MP ultra-clear main camera, a 5MP wide angle camera and a 2MP macro camera – allows users to capture their daily lives in photos and videos that can be shared with friends and family at the touch of a button.
