The HONOR X9B (ALI-NX1) Dual SIM 5G smartphone in Sunrise Orange promises a lot: a stunning 108MP camera, a massive 5800mAh battery, and smooth performance thanks to its 12GB RAM and Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. But does this Middle East version deliver on its promises? After weeks of extensive testing, here’s my comprehensive review.
The HONOR X9B boasts an impressive array of features. The standout is undoubtedly the 108MP main camera, capable of capturing incredibly detailed images.

The included earbuds were a welcome surprise, offering decent sound quality for their price.
Other notable features include the ultra-bounce anti-drop display, 5G connectivity for blazing-fast speeds, and 12GB of RAM allowing for seamless multitasking. The fast charging also proved a valuable asset. The device feels premium in hand; it’s well-built and surprisingly light for its size.
