Hey Explorers!
I am back with a quick gaming review of this X9b. Let's dive to know more. The HONOR X9b is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen1 SoC, which can easily handle heavy performance requirements. We know that software and driver optimization also play an equal role in delivering what we need in the best possible way. And when it comes to gaming, we need to check a few other things too, like thermal management, battery management, connectivity, etc...
A Simple Answer - If we get a smooth gaming experience without lag and jitters with good thermal, battery, and network management, we can say that the gaming experience of the device seems good.A Simple Question- When we say a phone has a good gaming experience?
BGMI Test

- This device supports very high frame rate and graphics settings in BGMI, which are HDR-Extreme and Ultra HDR-Ultra.
- With HDR-Extreme Settings, the gameplay is super smooth at 60fps and provides good graphic visuals.
- There is no Lag or Jitters during the gameplay even on the high graphics settings like HDR and Extreme.
- CPU throttling is managed well hence no performance drop even after 1 hrs of continuous gaming on Smooth-Extreme graphics setting.
- If you are a casual gamer, you will never complain about the gaming performance of this device.
- Software and Driver optimization is well along with the Connectivity.

The device performed well in the gaming assessment. The performance of the Snapdragon 6 Gen1 and UI optimization is aiding the super smooth gameplay without any throttling even after a long playback on heavy graphics. This device will never bother a casual gamer. You can enjoy your daily gameplay on this device without any issues. I selected these two games because they utilize the CPU and GPU's maximum performance during gameplay, providing a good representation. Games with lower graphics requirements and less resource usage should perform similarly well as BGMI and COD Mobile. That's all for today, we will meet again very soon with an amazing battery review thread. Don't forget to check it out.Conclusion
