Honor X9a will be launched in Malaysia soon. The brand recently shared a teaser on its Twitter account that shows the design of the phone from the front and back. The upcoming offering is expected to be a rebranded version of the Honor X40 that was launched in China in September. Honor X9a has now appeared on Geekbench benchmarking platform with model number RMO-NX1. The listing reveals the main features of the smartphone.

Listed with the processor number SM6375, which corresponds to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, the Honor X9a includes six cores running at 1.80GHz and two cores running at 2.20GHz. The list shows 8 GB of RAM and Android 12 operating system. The smartphone scores 669 and 1930 in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.

A promotional video released by Honor Malaysia reveals that the X9a will feature an ultra-durable curved OLED display. The rear panel features a center-aligned punch hole and a circular camera ring.
