Back in August, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor launched its capable midrange smartphone dubbed Honor 9X. Since then, the smartphone has made its way to numerous markets such as the UAE and Europe. It seems like the device will finally head towards the Indian market next year. If the recent report is to believe, the phone will see its official Indian launch somewhere in the month of January 2020.
It is worth mentioning that the Honor 9X was earlier expected to launch in India in November this year. Apart from the smartphone, the Chinese company is also planning to bring its popular smartwatch called Honor Magic Watch 2 in India. We should see it launching in the country alongside the Honor 9X smartphone. For those who’re unaware, the watch was officially launched last month.
