The HONOR X9a has been designed with a top tier 120Hz AMOLED 45-degree Curved Display[3], that offers incredible responsiveness while gaming or watching and displays 1.07 billion colors to reproduce vivid images with incredible levels of clarity and true-to-life colors. Coupled with ultra-slim bezels which lead to a remarkable 93%[4] screen-to-body ratio and the durable Curved Tempered Glass, the class-leading display on the HONOR X9a offers an exceptional viewing experience.

Exceptionally Slim Design with the iconic “Dynamic Eye”

Inheriting the same iconic circular camera layout as HONOR’s flagship Magic Series line-up, the HONOR X9a features a symmetrical Dynamic Eye camera design at the back, making premium smartphone design more accessible. Placing the three cameras and the flashlight equally along the Star Ring, the HONOR X9a brings the beauty of balance and harmony to life.

Shaped the cameras as star eyes in a perfect circle, the Dynamic Eye design on the HONOR X9a 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 Matrix Star Ring is the star eye to see beauty. From atoms to star, the beauty of circular space is everything in everywhere. The minimalist yet elegant design symbolizes the limitless potential of everyone, inspiring users to harness their creativity and achieve more in life.

Arranged along the Dynamic, the powerful Triple Camera system – comprising a 64MP Ultra-clear Main Camera[8], 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.
