Honor 9X features a 16MP selfie snapper mounted on a pop-up mechanism and
there's a 48MP camera at the back joined by an 8MP ultrawide and 2MP depth
sensor modules.
The smartphone ships with a
4,000 mAh battery that draws power through a USB-C port at the speed of 10W.

The Honor MagicWatch 2 is

battery, while the latter comes with a 1.39" 454x454 pixel screen backed
by a 455 mAh cell.
The MagicWatch 2 comes with
heart-rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, and fitness tracking. The 42mm version of the MagicWatch 2 is
offered in two colors - Agate Black priced at INR 11,999 (US$ 170/€ 150) and Sakura
Gold that's priced at INR 14,999 (US$ 210/€ 190). The 46mm model also comes in two

INR 14,999 (US$ 210/€ 190), respectively.
The MagicWatch 2 will be
available for purchase starting January 19 through Amazon.in.
Honor Band 5i
The Honor Band 5i sports a
0.96" 160x80 pixel TFT color screen that can display up to 30 characters
for notifications. It can track different activities like walking, running and
cycling, and can also monitor your heart-rate, sleep and SpO2 levels.
The Band 5i has Bluetooth 4.2
for connectivity and works with any devices running Android 4.4/iOS 9.0 and
above. It doesn't have an NFC chip, though. The Band 5i is water-resistant up
to 50 meters and packs a 91 mAh battery that Honor claims has an endurance of
7-9 days. It has a built-in USB connector that eliminates the need for a
dedicated charging cradle.
