The Honor 9 is a flagship smartphone made by Honor, a smartphone brand under the Huawei Group. It is a successor of the Huawei Honor 8 within the Huawei Honor series.[1]

Specifications

Hardware

The Honor 9 is a flagship smartphone made by Honor, a sub-brand under the Huawei Group, as part of the Huawei Honor series. The phone has a HiSilicon Kirin 960 octa-core processor (four 2.4 GHz cores and four 1.8 GHz cores),[1] a Mali-G71 MP8 GPU, and a 3,200 mAh non-removable battery.[2][3] It measures 147.3 millimetres (5.80 in) by 70.9 millimetres (2.79 in) by 7.5 millimetres (0.30 in) and weighs 155 grams (5.5 oz).[2]

The phone comes with 64 or 128 gigabytes of storage and 4 or 6 GB of RAM, depending on region. It has a 5.15-inch (13.1 cm) display with a pixel resolution of 1920x1080 and pixel density of 428 ppi.[2][3] The Honor 9 has an 8 MP front-facing camera and its dual rear camera setup consists of a 12 MP RGB lens and a 20-megapixel monochrome lens.[1][2][3] It can record video in 4K and has electronic image stabilization for 1080p video.[3] Other features include dual-SIM support, a USB-C port, and a fingerprint reader located on the lower bezel.[3][4]

The Honor 9 has a metal frame and 3D curved glass rear,[1] and its official tagline is "the light catcher".[5] The phone comes in "Glacier Grey", "Sapphire Blue", "Midnight Black", and gold, but not all colors are available in all markets.[2][4] During IFA 2017 in Berlin, Honor announced the new color variant for the Honor 9, which is the limited edition "Robin Egg Blue".[6][7][8][9] The color became available in China in August, and was released in the United Kingdom in September.[10]

Software

The Honor 9 launched with Android Nougat (version 7.0) and Huawei's EMUI 5.1.[1][2][3]

Release

The phone was revealed in China on June 12, 2017,[11] and debuted internationally in Berlin on June 27.[12] It became available for purchase in China in June, and available for preorder in the United Kingdom on June 27.[2][4]

Reception

Overall, initial reviews of the Honor 9 were positive, averaging 8.8 out of 10.[13] Android Authority's Gary Sims gave the phone a rating of 8.7 out of 10, and wrote in his review summary: "The Honor 9 certainly ticks a lot of the right boxes: great performance, dual cameras, sleek design, and an IR blaster! The only downsides are the lack of toughened glass over the display and the slippery nature of the build materials."[3] Andy Boxall of Digital Trends wrote the following as a summary of his review: "The Honor 9 impresses so much, it's a strong contender for one of the best reasonably priced smartphones available."[14] PC Magazine's Thomas Newton assigned the Honor 9 a rating of 4 out of 5, meaning "excellent".[5] Swedroid offered its recommendation and rated the phone 8.3 out of 10 overall.[15]

Jessica Murgia of AndroidPit,[12] TechAdvisor's Dominic Preston,[16] James Peckham of TechRadar,[4] and ZDNet's Sandra Vogel each rated the phone 4.5 out of 5 stars.[17] Preston's summary read, "The Honor 9 is an undeniably impressive phone for an unmatched price right now. In performance terms, it's nipping at the heels of the year's top flagships, and only lacking flashy features like waterproofing or a bezel-less screen. It looks great, it runs fast, and it costs less than £400. We're sold."[16] Summarizing his review, Peckham wrote, "The Honor 9 offers a lot of what the high-end flagship phones do right now, but for a much lower price. There's no exciting, headline-grabbing feature here, but a great design, fantastic performance and lots of nice touches make this an all-round impressive and affordable phone."[4] Vogel also gave a rating of 8.9 on a 10-point scale, meaning "outstanding".[17]

Android Central's Alex Dobie called the Honor 9 the "best phone for less than £400". He gave the phone the "Choice Award" and wrote, "The Honor 9 isn't perfect, but it is a great all-rounder that makes high-end performance and design more affordable than ever before."[18] Stuff rated the Honor 9 five out of five stars and said, "High-end hardware at a middleweight price makes the Honor 9 one of the best phone deals around."[19] TechRadar recommend the Honor 9, which won in the "Best Mid-range Phone" category at the 2017 T3 Awards.[20]
