Honor's endeavors in the smartphone market continue, now casting a spotlight on the upcoming Honor X9B. With essential details surfacing through its Geekbench performance, the device already hints at robust capabilities. Notably, the phone, identifiable by its model number ALI-NX1, is slated to operate on a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, complemented by an impressive up to 12GB of RAM. The chipset is designed with an octa-core processor that divides its operation between four cores at 2.21GHz and the remaining four at 1.80GHz. Fresh out of the box, the X9B will run on Android 13, as affirmed by test results that reveal it scoring 936 in single-core and 2774 in multi-core tests.
