Comparing the HONOR X9b, X8b, and X7b: similarities and differences

In the Philippines, HONOR is rapidly becoming synonymous with affordable, yet durable devices. The brand continues to expand its presence, launching a series of devices that cater to a wide range of consumers. While the HONOR Magic V2 has made waves as a flagship device, it’s the X-series that has truly captured the market’s attention. With a naming scheme that could cause some head-scratching, we’re here to demystify the latest offerings.

As of March 2024, HONOR has introduced three new contenders in the X-series lineup: the HONOR X9b 5G, HONOR X8b, and the HONOR X7b.

Let’s first start with the price. In the Philippines, the HONOR X9b 5G is at PhP 16,999 while the X8b is priced at PhP 12,999. The most affordable of the bunch is the recently released X7b with a PhpP  8,999 price tag.

All of the X-series devices available here so far run on Android 13 with MagicOS 7.2, boast a 108MP main camera,  All three models also aim to emphasize HONOR’s confidence in their generous internal storage options: 256GB internal storage for the X9b and X7b and up to 512GB for the X8b.

Despite their similarities, each model has its unique selling points. The HONOR X9b 5G shines with its 6.78-inch AMOLED display, boasting a 120Hz refresh rate that promises smooth visuals, making it a delight for gamers and video enthusiasts.

The HONOR X7b prioritizes longevity with a robust 6000mAh battery, perfect for users who need their device to last through the day and beyond. Among the three, it’s also the only one without a leather back option.

The HONOR X8b, while sharing the 108MP main camera feature, steps up the selfie game with a 50MP front camera.
