Honor 9: characteristics of a flagship smartphone, and the price is like that of the middle class
12.06.17Huawei, which owns the Honor brand, has introduced a new smartphone, Honor 9, in China.
Honor 9 is similar in characteristics to the flagship Huawei P10, and in design it resembles the model of the previous generation – Honor 8 .
You will notice that, as before, the back panel has a very unusual iridescent coating.
Notable differences compared to its predecessor are the appearance of a separate control button on the front panel and the transfer of the fingerprint scanner from the rear panel to the front.
Apparently, it uses the same hardware module with a dual main camera as in Huawei P10. One sensor is 12-megapixel color, and the second is 20-megapixel black and white. But the Leica inscription is missing. We can assume that the Honor 9 camera will be slightly less functional compared to the Huawei P10. The lenses have an aperture of f/2.2. 4K video recording is supported.
Honor 9 Main Features:
- screen: 5.15“, IPS, 1920×1080 pixels;
- main camera: 12 megapixels.
color + 20 megapixels monochrome;
- front camera: 8 megapixels;
- processor: Huawei Kirin 960;
- GPU: Mali G71;
- RAM: 4/6 GB;
- storage: 64/128 GB;
- card reader: microSD up to 2 TB;
- fingerprint scanner/IR/NFC: yes/yes/yes
- OS: Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 5.1 shell;
- Wi-Fi: WiFi 802.11ac (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz);
- dimensions: 147.3×71×7.5 mm;
- battery: 3200 mAh
If we talk about the Chinese market, the simplest Honor 9 model with 4/64 GB memory will cost about $340, the modification with 6/64 memory will cost about $400, and the 6/128 GB version will cost $440.
