What's up guys Chigz here from Chigz Tech Reviews.
So in this video I'm going to put the brand new Honor 9X through a series of tests,
to find out exactly what this smartphone is capable of now my test will include disc speeds
Wi-Fi GPS DRMs benchmarks some gaming camera tests and we will finish off with
my smartphone benchmark chart to see how this phone ranks with the other top
devices so without any further ado let's get side now first of all we are gonna
run a boot up speed test the smartphone is totally off and I've got my timer
ready so here we go so it took 21 seconds to fully boot to the home screen
so next up we are going to test out the internal storage speeds so here we go so
here are your results read speeds 553 and write speeds to 0-9 so quick look at
CPU Z you can see we have an 8 core CPU with the Mallee g-51 this is in fact the
Kirin 71 zero cocked upon CPU and is clocked at a maximum of two point one
nine gigahertz system information shows Android version 9 and this does have e
Mui nine point one point zero on top now we are now looking at the DRM info and
if we scroll up you can see Google Widevine level 1 which means you can
play Netflix in HD quality
with people
YouTube supports a maximum of 1080p at 60 frames per second and this is what
Holly looks like
a king has no friends only followers for
now in the twice speed test we got download speeds of 34 and upload speeds
of 19 megabits per second get next up running a quick GPS test so this is an
indoor test and we're gonna see how quickly we can obtain a fix so within a
few seconds we have connected to a number of satellites this is an indoor
test so pretty decent GPS so moving on now to the gaming test and we are going
to begin with asphalt 9
okay so now I'm gonna be testing out the fingerprint scanner now there is a
physical sensor on the back it's quite easy to reach and it's quite accurate
but there is a second or two delay from me pressing the fingerprint and in
actually unlocking the smartphone definitely not the fastest fingerprint
sensor we've seen now unfortunately there is no face unlock feature
available at the moment on this smartphone so this is a camera test for
the honor 9x we are beginning with the
front-facing camera we are shooting 1080p at 30 frames per second and I can
confirm that there is no video stabilization in the front-facing camera
now this is a video sample recorded in 1080p at 60fps there does not appear to
be any option for image stabilization the video quality does look decent but
unfortunately without stabilization you do have a shaky video now of course this
is a pre-release model and I'm hoping that a firmware update will give us the
stabilization that we expect now I also tested out 1080p at 30 frames per second
and again there was no option for image stabilization and this is the quality
you can expect and here is a sample of the wide angle lens recorded in 1080p
and I also like the fact that you can switch from wide angle lens to main lens
in real time whilst you are recording but as expected the main camera is much
better in quality this is an ultra wide video at 1080p 30 frames per second
again no image stabilization available
and now it's time to check out some photos this is where the honor 9x shines
you have a forty eight megapixel main sensor and you can take some pretty
good-looking shots effortlessly now photos look detailed with good dynamic
range you can see all the detail in the sky accurate colors shadows and
saturation I even did a quick photo comparison against the oneplus 70 and I
have to say the honor 9x held up pretty well against it let me know which one
you think looks better in this photo between the oneplus and the 9 X so that
brings us to our benchmarks beginning with Geekbench
and here are your results 321 single core and one two nine two multi-core and
in the antutu benchmark test we achieved a total score of a hundred and
seventy-six K so let's see how that compares with the others and in my top
performing smartphone chart of 2019 the honor 9x has taken position 35 on this
chart with the benchmarks for of 176 K now you can view the full versions of
all my charts online at chick's techcom and read them at your leisure so there
you have it guys that was my complete hands-on speed test of the honor 9x and
here are my thoughts on this device this is a budget to mid-range handset you
have Gorilla Glass protection on the front with no knotch it's a full screen
display with an exciting new pop up camera and it also feels like gorilla
glass on the back with a reflective X pattern somehow embedded in the design
the frame seems to be made from plastic finished in shiny blue and overall I do
like the design it's attractive and feels great in the hands performance is
pretty good with the Kevin 7 1 0 F it's an octa-core CPU with the Mallee g5 one
gaming and multimedia looked great on the large screen and you can play more
or less any game you like from the app store including call of duty mobile and
emui version point one zero will give you an overall
smooth experience now the camera Department is certainly interesting you
can record a maximum of 1080p with the front and rear cameras the video quality
looks good but stabilization is non-existent you can however take very
decent photos with all the cameras including a pretty decent night mode so
the camera gets an overall seven you have a single loudspeaker which does
indeed get pretty loud and the quality is also not that bad you have a decent
battery life with 4000 milliamp hours and this phone can last you nearly two
days depending on your usage now the phone does not support fast charging so
unfortunately it takes 2.5 hours to fully charge the phone fingerprint
sensor is accurate and fairly fast with a slight second delay before unlocking
so not the fastest we've ever seen but still does the job now whilst you do
have a cool looking pop-up camera but unfortunately face unlock is not
supported on this device now let's talk about the extras there is a headphone
jack micro SD card slot and a fingerprint sensor but we do not have an
IP rating no NFC no fast charging no wireless charging and no face unlock
bottom line the honor 9x is a new affordable smart phone you're getting a
decent user experience a great 48 megapixel camera for photos decent
display and design big battery and a pop-up selfie camera now wife's there
are indeed a number of drawbacks the phone still appeals to me as a fairly
decent budget handset now the phone has been officially launched today in the UK
and you can pick this up right now for only 249 and the links will be in the
description box below in case you want to check it out now do let me know what
you guys think in the comments if this is going to be your next smartphone and
also let me know if you want to see a camera comparison between the honor 9x
versus their honor 8x to see which one is better meanwhile
thank you so much for watching and I hope you all have a brilliant day I'll
see you guys in the next one
you
