Introduction
One of the best shot by Huawei is through the hands of Honor 9 that have taken charge on flagship phones like Galaxy S8 and OnePlus 5. Honor 9 has hit all the correct spots including a high-end processor, excellent photos, dual slots of SIM cards and ample onboard storage. Presented as the third largest phone manufacturer in the world, Huawei couldn’t manage to enter into the list of household names like Apple and Samsung. Though it competed hard with OnePlus, the later went with the golden crown of CNET’s Editor’s Choice Award due to its high value. This time, Huawei has stepped into the smartphone battlefield with a different arm named Honor 9 that can attract the covetous eyes of the OnePlus 5 buyers.
Honor 9 earns all the honors due to its familiarity and rock solid nature, giving us the genuine feeling of holding a similar Honor 8 with a fingerprint scanner that is facing the front and many several updated specifications. It excites the avid users with its conventional design that is a product of incredible artistry. The hardware and software department of the phone is up to the mark. Huawei ruled the phone market last year with Honor 8 as one of the best budget-flagship smartphones by replicating majority of the specs of P9 under $400. The company is all set to hold the winning flag once again with the recent announcement of Honor 9’s presence in Europe from July. The pricing will be starting at around £380 in the UK, and approximately €450 will be hired in the rest European countries. As per the latest diction of an Honor executive given to Android Central, its release in the US is not yet planned. There is nothing to worry. This exquisite creation of Huawei promises to gift the user’s certain tricks of machine learning for optimal performance throughout the gadget’s lifetime.

Breathtaking Design

The gentle curve at the backside for easy grip can sweep our mind with tender love.

Power-packed with a Kirin 960 processor, four 1.8GHz cores and four 2.4GHz cores, similar to Honor 8 Pro, Honor 9 is set to blaze the gadget world with 64 GB of onboard storage and 4 GB RAM. You can boost the storage space up to 256GB with the help of a micro SD card.
USB Type C charges the phone. The fingerprint sensor’s positioning on the front is the secret behind its taller size, but, we can manage with it considering the durability and the comfy usage. The sleek finish can call for a cover case for protecting it from falling related damages. The software connects with the EMUI 5.1 that is commonly observed in many phones.

The monochrome sensor that is up to 20 MP with 2x hybrid zoom gives us more detailed clear pictures. The super gadget has got 12 MP RGB sensors adding the information of colors, though the black and white images can be used via the monochrome sensor alone. If you are shooting in daylight, be assured that you are going to get high-end professional pictures. Other exciting modes like Night Shot Mode, live photos, Bokeh portrait mode, light painting, manual modes those can be customized according to your desire and 4K video compression that can produce 50% smaller sizes of the files are present in this device.

Negativity

During night time, details of photographs may get lost. It has got a sharp resolution but not up to the mark of Samsung Galaxy S8 or LG G6.
