Back in September 2024, Honor introduced the Honor 200 Lite in the Indian market. After that, the brand didn’t release any new smartphones in India. However, starting today, they have started teasing a new device by launching a landing page on Amazon. The page does not disclose the name of the device, but the teaser images indicate that the company is preparing to unveil the Honor X9c 5G this month, which will be the successor to last year’s Honor X9b 5G.
