Does the Honor 9X Pro have the Google Play Store?

No, this model lacks Google services. Apps can be downloaded from Huawei AppGallery or by using APK files and GSpace.

How durable is the pop-up camera?

Huawei has tested the mechanism for over 100,000 opening cycles. With daily use, it should last for years, but it should be kept away from sand and dust.

Can I make contactless payments with this phone?

Most HLK-L41 models lack an NFC chip, so Google Pay or other contactless payments are not possible.

Are there any notches or punch-holes on the screen?

No, thanks to the pop-up camera, the Honor 9X Pro has a completely clean 6.59-inch screen without notches or punch-holes.

Can a memory card be used?

Yes, the phone supports microSD cards up to 512GB, but it shares the slot with the second SIM card.

Does the phone have a headphone jack?

Yes, the device has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
