That means quite a boost for the core clock of the processor cores, because while Helio X20 is clocked only at 1.85 GHz, the X23 runs it up at 2.3 GHz. Rest of the specs remains intact and in place, like the 2K resolution 10,1-inch Sharp fully laminated screen, dual SIM dual standby slots, 4 GB RAM, 64 GB of internal storage, 13MP Samsung rear camera, 5MP selfie cam, 8000 mAh battery capacity, 7.9mm thickness, full metal build and Android 8 Oreo system.

Despite the welcome upgrade the price remains the same on $239.99 retail level, but currently you can find a flash sale on Amazon UK for just £189.54 during a specific time  11:15 BST-17:15 BST on October 14th. Not bad at all huh ?

      I am not sure that this is an actual Promo Image.

      1. it’s photoshopped really bad.
      2. The Hi 9 has Oreo and not Nougat als OS

      Yes the Bezels are larger and I like it that way, I want to be able to hold a Tablet without my palm always klicking something 🙂
