The Smartphone Knockout series had the greatest mid-range smartphone analysis, and the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G vs Honor X9b 5G gave us clarity over a budget choice for our next smartphone purchase. Our analysis and recommendations for both handsets are as follows:-
- Both the handsets are the latest additions to the Indian Smartphone Market with just a few days of gap between both launches, the Narzo 70 Pro offers two color variants and the Honor X9b has three color variants available in the Indian Market. Both the handsets have lovely color options with sleek and aesthetic designs, as both were a 2024 launch.
- On the software front, both the handsets run on an Octa-Core Processor, but the Realme Narzo 70 is powered by the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 7050 which is a slightly better chipset than the one against it in this case which is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen1. The 7050 is a proven better technology for performance, gaming, and multitasking and the Realme Narzo 70 Pro takes the lead.

- Talking about the display then we have to say that Chinese smartphone manufacturers are making it more and more innovative and a complete package making it a difficult task for critics like us to straighten a wrinkle. The Narzo 70 Pro is just 0.11 inches smaller than the Honor X9b, apart from this both have an AMOLED display and 2000 and 1200 nits of peak brightness respectively, so both the handsets take a point each in the display.
- The camera is something that makes a huge difference for a smartphone and the Honor X9b clearly has an advantage in this case boasting a set of triple rear cameras with 108MP primary camera, on the other hand, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro also has a set of triple cameras in the back with the primary one being that of a 50 Megapixels. The front camera in both the models is the same which is 16MP.
- Now let’s talk about storage, the Narzo 70 Pro comes in two variants with 8GB RAM and internal storage of two types, 128GB and 256GB. But the Honor X9b comes in a single variant of 8GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage. This is a feature that depends on a user’s requirements so we keep this out of our analysis and leave it to our readers to decide.
- The Honor X9b has a slightly bigger battery than the Narzo 70 Pro giving it a longer battery life which is also an essential feature of a smartphone.
- Now coming at the price. The Realme Narzo 70 Pro is priced very economically starting at 19999 for the 128GB variant and 21999 for the 256GB variant. On the other hand, the Honor X9b with its single variant of 256GB is available for 25999, hence the X9b is slightly more expensive than the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G.
So this was our analysis of today’s smartphone Knockout series of the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G vs Honor X9b 5G and we recommend the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G for people looking for an economical smartphone with a powerful performance, more than one storage option and easy multi-tasking but have to sacrifice on the camera feature.
But if you are looking for an amazing picture quality, a longer battery life but a slightly moderate performance compared to Narzo 70 Pro and price is not an issue for you then go for the Honor X9b.
