Honor 9X Pro

Honor 9X Pro price in Malaysia starts from RM639, putting a Kirin 810 chipset, 6GB RAM and 256GB storage on the table at a budget price point. That storage figure is generous for this segment, and the octa-core setup with Mali-G52 graphics handles everyday apps and games without much fuss. The 6.59-inch LCD runs at full HD+ resolution with a tall 19.5:9 ratio, giving you a large screen without the notch or punch-hole cutout, since the selfie camera pops up mechanically instead.

That 16MP front camera sits hidden until you need it, which is the phone's signature trick. Around back there's a 48MP main lens paired with an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. A 4000mAh battery gets you through a full day, though charging tops out at just 10W, so it's not a quick top-up. Side-mounted fingerprint sensor, NFC and a headphone jack round out the practical bits.
