Huawei's subsidiary just launched the Honor 9 which is arguably a powerful and more affordable smartphone. And Honor 9 is not just like Huawei P10 for the masses, it's also a OnePlus 5 killer. The bar is high, the expectations big, and the Huawei P9 pros and cons review has just started.
The highlight of the Huawei Honor 9 is the dual-camera setup, which is the same tech behind the P10, sans the Leica branding. The 12MP color and 20MP monochrome snappers offer the same modes such as Portrait, Variable Aperture, 2x lossless zoom, and now you can even shoot 4K videos with bokeh effects! The 8MP selfie shooter does bokeh shots, too.
Huawei is all in with the Honor 9. Giving more for less is what a flagship killer used to mean, and what OnePlus once stood for. Could the Honor 9 claim this title? Let's find out!
The Honor 9 is keeping it premium with an all-metal frame and 3D curved design with different colors, though my favourite honor 9 color is glacier gray. The Honor 9 employs a 5.15" LTPS IPS LCD screen - a notch bigger than the 5.1" IPS-NEO unit on the P10 but keeping the same 1080p resolution. There are 428 pixels per inch on this particular screen and they are compiled from the familiar RGB subpixels.
The Honor 9, surprise, surprise, employs the same Kirin 960 chip found inside the Huawei P10 and Mate 9. It is developed in-house by Huawei's chip maker HiSilicon and has been around for some time now. Even with a few months of history behind it, the Kirin 960 is still one of the most powerful smartphone chips, and we are glad to welcome it in our testing lab once again. Most of the Honor 9 models come with 6GB of RAM, great for multitasking.
The Honor 9 runs on the latest EMUI ROM. It is now up to version 5.1, groomed to accompany Huawei's new lineup. The OS is based on Android 7 Nougat and has been refreshed in a number of ways.
EMUI 5.1 has Theme support, of course. The theme store offers a wide selection and some really artsy options that fit in well with the general high-design image of the Honor 9. Of course, you can always keep things simple and only customize the wallpaper and possibly transition animations.
Just like the Huawei P10, the Honor 9 features a dual camera setup, which consists of a 20MP monochrome sensor and a 12MP RGB one, each of these behind its own 27mm-equiv. f/2.2 aperture lens. There is also a dual-tone LED flash.
Huawei introduces Live Photos with this new iteration of the Huawei camera app - it's a short 3s video taken shortly before you've hit the shutter, and it plays when you tap and hold on the image - no 3D Touch required.
