The company claims that this is the first phone to come with 5 star drop resistance certification. This certificate has been given to it by SGS company of Switzerland. The company has named it Ultra-Bounce Anti-drop Display. Although we did not drop test it, no scratches were visible on it within 15 days.
This phone has a 6.7-inch screen, which comes with 2652×1200 (1.5K resolution). This phone has a curved display, which gives it a premium feel.

It has support of 8GB virtual RAM memory. The company has used UFS 3.1.
However, it is not that there is any problem in Honor X9b performance. It gives good performance. I believe Snapdragon 6 is Gen 1, if it was given with a new processor, it would have been better. We did not see any reduction in speed in this phone nor was this phone seen with lag. Overall this is a decent phone.
