Dont say we dont treat you, folks.

This little fella is 16MP, enough to really make your face, uh,popduring selfie time.

This equipment has a 2340 x 1080 resolution LCD screen, with a 91% screen-to-body ratio.

Everything you need to know about Honor’s just-launched 9X Pro

God, I love a phone without a notch.

And what about the processor and memory?

Storage-wise, it comes with 256GB and has an expandable slot that can deal with another 512GB.

On top of this, the Honor 9X Pro also has 6GB RAM more than enough for most people.

Both of them are rather fetching.

It has a 4,000mAh battery and has a USB-C connection.

Unfortunately, theres no fast-charging support.

Oh and how could we forget the cost?

Thats a damn alluring price for what you get.

So what was the hands-on like?

It felt about the same size and weight, which is what youd expect from an upgrade like this.

Were talking about evolution here, not revolution.

That said, there have been enough under-the-hood updates that thereshouldbe a substantial speed increase while in use.

But how noticeable this will be in day-to-day use is questionable.

Another new feature I found fascinating was the location of the fingerprint scanner.

I think the biggest change though are the lack of Google apps on the phone.

While previous handsets had the standard Google suite (Maps, Gmail, etc.

), the 9X Pro comes with a Huawei set instead for obvious reasons.

Still, they can only improve over time, but its a big loss.

Not having the apps the majority of us have used daily for many years now is a big blow.

Conclude this for me

From a hardware perspective, Honors 9X Pro is an undeniably good deal.

Its powerful, has a great camera set-up, all for a reasonable price.

How much this will impact you depends on how central Google apps are to your life.

I cant wait to put the unit through its paces and see how it holds up in this light.
