Honor is known to partner with fashion
brands for limited edition models of its phones. At the beginning of the year,
it released a special edition Honor V20 in partnership with Moschino, the
luxury fashion house. It partnered with them again in July for the Honor 20 Pro
Moschino Edition. It has now been reported that it is partnering with Malaysian
streetwear brand – Stoned & Co. – for a special edition Honor 9X.
The Chinese phone company will partner
with the fashion house for the Honor 9X Stoned & Co. Limited Edition. The
phone will come in a special retail box along with a special case designed by
the fashion house.
There will be only 200 units of this
special edition Honor 9X. The first 100 units will be sold on December 20 at
12:00 midnight on the HiHonor Malaysia online store. The remaining 100 units
will be sold at 11 AM on December 20 too, but at the Honor Experience Store at
Sunway Pyramid. It has been reported that each of the custom cases will be numbered.
The Honor 9X Stoned & Co. Limited
Edition will sell for 999 Malaysian Ringgit which converts to about US$ 241.
Other than the difference in packaging and the custom case, there are no
differences with respect to the specs of the two devices.
The Honor 9X has a 6.59-inch FHD+
display with no notch nor punch hole. Instead, it has a motorized 16MP selfie
camera. Honor ships the 9X sold outside China with a Kirin 710F processor
paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage.
There is a triple camera setup on the
back of the phone and it includes a 48MP primary camera, an 8MP ultrawide angle
camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The phone also packs a 4000mAh battery with 10W
charging and runs Android Pie out of the box.
