Honor X9b is scheduled for its India launch on February 15, following its initial release in select global markets in October 2023. The Indian variant is expected to come with a similar feature to the Global version. The Amazon microsite for the Honor 90 5G has been officially launched, confirming its availability on the e-commerce platform.

Notable features teased for the Indian variant include an "unbreakable" curved display with SGS-certified "360-degree whole-device protection" and it is said to sport "India's first ultra bounce display" with 'Airbag' technology'. The microsite hints at a big battery, a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, and a slim design. Some key features of the smartphone were recently teased and its Amazon product page was also leaked, according to Gadgets360.

The Amazon microsite teases about the smartphone's key aspects, including a large battery, a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, and a sleek design. The specific specifications are not listed but suggest that is likely to launch alongside the smartphone.

The microsite includes a banner featuring a round silhouette of the rear camera module of the Honor X9b, where the launch date of February 15 and the phrase "unlock the extra" are visible. Upon closer inspection, the letter "x" in "extra" appears to be represented by two overlapping earbuds. These are likely the Honor Choice Earbuds X5, previously teased by HonorTech CEO Madhav Sheth, indicating their potential launch alongside the smartphone on February 15.
