Speaking of images, one of the key features of the HONOR 9X is its pop-up camera. With a 16-megapixel sensor, the popup camera works with the phone’s artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to deliver stunning self-portraits with dramatic bokeh and other effects. As fast as it emerges, the popup camera quickly retracts when not in use or in the case of an accidental shock to prevent damage. HONOR 9X extends its AI capabilities to its rear triple camera system. Comprising of a 48-megapixel main camera with F1.8 aperture, 8-megapixel super wide-angle camera, and 2-megapixel depth-assist camera, the HONOR 9X produces beautiful images with more details. That is whether you are taking photos in broad daylight or at night. 720p videos are equally amazing and stable when recorded using the HONOR 9X.
