Honor has launched its latest smartphone, the RM999 Honor 9X, which is the brand's first device to feature a pop-up front camera.

The smartphone's 6.59in display has a 91% screen-to-body ratio, thanks to its space-saving 16-megapixel pop-up front facing camera. To protect the pop-up camera, the phone has intelligent fall detection that retracts the camera if it is dropped.
