Honor 9 - User Reviews

  • Gorgeous phone. Fantastic performance, reliable, i love it!

  • Hi 3zy, I had loose usb c connector on the phone and all I had to do is use needle to clean it. There were some small pieces of jeans textile inside (pillings).

  • Great phone! I still use this phone since may 2018. and i dont want to change it. Good job HONOR!

  • Overall one of the best phones I've had. The main issue I've had with it is the ports have degraded fairly quickly. Both USB-C port and the headphone jack have become very loose surprisingly quickly, and the headphone jack is now basically unusable. besides that issue, it's actually one of the most pleasant models of phones I've used. great quality camera, very comfortable in the hand, the software runs smooth and fast still and battery life hasn't degraded

  • My phone got Emui 9.1 update this morning. I bought this in Italy but now I live in Turkey. STF L09 model.

  • My phone have marks at the back from inside is it normal? Like it show the internal circuit

  • Yes perfect.

  • Perfect phone. From 2 years now, perfect work. Perfect battery, functionality, updates... PERFECT PHONE

  • Does your camera flash work after the update

  • Portugal got the update to 9-Pie

  • This phone is amazing in every ways! Battery life,updates, functionality,quality and performance as well!Since over a year there was no problems of any kind. My next phone can be Honor only!

  • STF L09- Just upgraded do Pie 9.0.1.175. yesterday. In Portugal

  • Serbia. Also, I noticed that my battery last longer after updating to Pie.

  • Yesterday, I got the all new android version and I liked it. My phone is working much faster.

  • A good smartphone....yesterday i made the upgrade to Android 9

  • have this phone for almost a year and a half ... a-m-a-z-i-n-g :) good performance

  • Worst ever and unexpected upgrade. Last phone from this manufacture for me ever.

  • What country yo in.

  • Arrived update to Pie yesterday. Global version here...

  • Anyone got updated to Pie (STF-AL10)?

  • Update 9 Pie,information somebody??Thanks

  • Yes, I have the same problem too, was also wandering if my device is defective or not. Can't remember using it without a protector.

  • After getting STF L09-8.0.0.379 on honor 9,slow motion is not working...why?

  • do u have protective glass on screen¨? if u have that is the problem. i had same problem now its ok

  • A nice phone. Worth the purchase when I got it. The IR blaster is really useful as a hidden feature. EMUI is awful and now they've blocked bootloader unlocking so I wouldn't recommend you purchase this phone. Xiaomi seem to be doing the best phones at the minute in my opinion

  • Try to deactivate knuckle gestures for screen. I did that to mine and the screen respons time is really better.

  • Hello doest it worth to update phone to newest version? I still use EMUI 5.1 and Android 7.1

  • I noticed that phone will not automatically be hooked over the bleutooth on the car radio. In other words, I have to manualy chech to voice go over it, otherwise it does not switch to the radio-speaker when it's called? I also do not like the new look of the file manager.

  • It will come Emui 9 or not?

  • I have notice that too. But I was think its to some games and app.

  • I do not have the option double app for Viber . Now I've seen on Samsung A6 thete are option for double app for Viber, Whats up and Facebook. Is this up to Honor software or Viber ??? And how to change ??

  • Did I get defective model or it is supposed to be like that, but my screen sides are not responsive, around 2-3 mm of right and left sides. It couses me some difficulties to go back in some apps where the back arrow is at the left up corner.

  • undoubtly u may buy..

  • Fabulous phone, great build quality, stellar software (I like EMUI), superb camera and blazing fast fingerprint scanner. Battery life is fantastic, easily lasts me two days. Only problem? It's just too damn big :( I wish the mobile companies would wake up and realise there is a market out there for powerful compact mobiles with a 4.6" screen. Regretfully, I sold mine and bought an A3 (2017). When that eventually dies, if Huawei still doesn't offer a small mobile, it'll be back to Sony for a Compact.

  • No problems with pretty heavy use when charged every night. Light use could last a few days.

  • plz tell me about the battery life i am going to buy it

  • Yes it does, but only with the front camera, not with sensors

  • Couldn't agree more. FP scanner is one of the fastest among smartphone. Using honor 9 for 6 month now, superb phone, good battery life and blazing fast 😁

  • Face Unlock is supported BUT it's fingerprint sensor is one of the fastest you can get, so why even bother with slower and less accurate facial recognition.

  • Does it support facial recognition??

  • Honor9 has display issue. The screen is not catching up fast.

  • Does it support automatic call recording?

  • Best price phone!

  • Best price phone!

  • this one or xiaomi mi a2? thanks

  • Yes, it has language Polski available in the settings:)

  • Hi. I want to buy this phone but I don't know if this phone has the Polish language on it so the whole phone is in Polish. Thanks in advance!

  • After the last update (small one arround 350 mb)... The battery life is good. The camera is v. good too The phone is fast. On average, more than 2gb of ram available of the 4gb. All around, it is a very good phone.

  • Does anyone know this phone support VOLTE?

  • The camera is awesome!!!!!!! everybody is asking how about it The phone features are incredible too

  • please some one who has this phone answer me how is camera in low light with flash ?is it have many noise?

  • Does the Honor 9 have an oleophobic coating on the screen?

  • Honor 9

  • No, it doesn't slow down, same as the mate 7 i have...almost 4 years old and also doesn't slow down and doesn't need resets either. My wife has the huawei p20 and also she does not have to reset the Phone to work fast.

  • Only if you put it in the oven... :-)

  • Recently I updated my Honor 9 to android Orio, I wanted to share my experience: - the update size is 2.75 GB - I used the phone data package to update, was fine, I have a fast 4G, took few minutes to download the update. - Despite the update size of 2.75 GB, upon restart to update, It was the fastest experience to update in a mobile phone so far (compared to iOs, windows mobile, and android on samsung). really super fast android update process. -After the update the user interface changed little, the color of the active toggles changed from blue to greenish color. -the setting menu is now grouped logically. - the EMUI updated from 5.1 to EMUI 8. - The cellular, wifi, bluetooth and NFC working properly. - The system is more smooth. - the battery life is better on EMUI 5.1 than the new update :-( I did not check the camera performance with the update.

  • > campion I advise you to go for the Honor 9. Better phone.

  • Does this phone receive security updates monthly or quarterly? How does this compare to the samsung s7/ lg g6 / p10? Thanks :)

  • If you like kind of big displays then go for Nokia 7 Plus, if Size does not matter for you then Honor 9 is the ultimate choice. Perfect shooter, sharper display, super fast and brilliently beautiful. You wont regret buying honor 9.

  • Can Someone tell me when this smartphone will be available in india???

  • Can someone tell me why I dont have option to shoose type of network for 2 sim ?

  • install Google Mobile Service apk for huawei.

  • Still Not available in india?? why??

  • Double tap to wake up screen? Honor 9 lite has this feature!

  • Considering the release date of their phones which Android OEM maker is still wee bit faster than the other one (in chronological order please) when it comes to software updates, security updates, bug fixes, emergency patches, etc...Samsung, Motorola or Huawei/Honor?

  • You can order through Aliexpress app or web, it will be available in Indian markets after May 15 2018.

  • Yes It is Not Available in India..not on flipkart also not on amazon also not in offline stores.

  • You can go with p10 plus

  • Not Available in India?? Why??

  • It's display is perfect - absolutely no need for 5.5 inch display. IMHO.

  • Mine did not have a screen protector

  • I've bought the Honor 9 to replace 4.5 years old LG G2. Absolutely no complaints. Great superbright display - 5.15 inch is just a sweet spot for a smartphone, great battery life, fast as Hussein Bolt, headphone jack and NFC - all work flawless. Highly recommended. I don't play games, don't watch movies on a phone (who in their right mind watches movies on a screen this tiny?!) - absolutely no need for all these 5.5-6 inch and 18/9 displays.

  • Why it is not available in India?

  • Honor 9 or nokia 7+? Any tips because i cant decide which one im gonna buy

  • I have the Chinese version and cannot install Play store on it, please help me

  • Thanks alot!

  • no but a soft case for the phone.

  • I need help I bought this phone and want to know if it comes with a screen protector out of the box fast replies would be great!

  • I like this phone, BUT the biggest mistake is that the display is not enough big, It has to be 5.5 inches. I have Huawei phone, but different model. Regularly, I am looking for phone with 5.5in screen, camera with LASER auto-focus, and min 3300mAh battery. The battery capacity is extremely important. It is not necessary the CPU to be so so strong and expensive; therefore, I recommend to be middle class.

  • Oh ! Honor 9, it beats the pants off any of the 'Lite' versions.

  • Yeah, I got Android 8.0 Oreo, the phone updated OTA 3rd week of March 2018 in Australia, which uses same 4G frequencies as Hong Kong/Asia version. I noticed when visiting the UK in 2015 that my LG G3 4G handset at that time would only work on the 3G Frequency while in UK/Europe

  • Of course the Honor 9 is better in every respect to the 'lite' version, as is the case with every Huawei version, the 'Lite' always has inferior specifications., which is why it is always much cheaper

  • This phone; Honor 9 is a brilliant phone, better than similar size Zuk Z2 Pro and Xiaomi Mi5 Pro. Much easier to operate, great features, excellent camera and....... it does have the 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom edge. Only thing this phone has missing is a FM radio. But in answer to your criticism, there IS a 3.5mm earphone jack!!

  • Hi, which phone have better front camera - Honor 9 or Honor 9 Lite? Does Honor 9 front camera takes good pictures? Thanks

  • Honor 9 or Xiaomi Mi Note 3, what do you think???

  • Mate 10 lite is just biger or it has something else better than Honor 9?

  • Depend on you.. If you want performance take honor 9..

  • Huawei Mate 10 lite or Huawei Honor 9? Which should I buy? Thank you!

  • I would take LG G6 because that's certified for military standards.

  • Hmm... Had Xiaomi once didnt like it, but again specs of this phone are amazing, but i just hate when phone doesnt have 3.5mm jack but i will consider it. Thank you.

  • Better u choose xiaomi mi note 3 fast thumb print unlock 6gb 660 snapdragon and the price is cheaper than this model

  • Has anyone got Oreo for this device in the UK? I've got a SIM free version and still no update, only the January software update. Thanks. Is is actually going to come to this phone?

  • Guys, Honor 9, P10 or LG G6 ? Cant decide pls help XD

  • LG G6 is the best phone!!! Honor 9 is not ip68 certified!!!

  • In my mobile while using one application open another app its always coming message "This app is running in the background" for Eg. I'm using LENOVO Band , I'm connecting this band and i open another app(Facebook) its automatically disconnecting

  • Best phone ever.better then lg g6 and galaxy s7.better camera and performance.i am very happy with this phone.

  • Honor 9 Better P10 on displey (quality and brightness) performance, speed test, antutu, geekbench 4, baterry , better price and on photos h9 is better leica camera on p10 (quality and brightness). Charging 1 and 30minutes two phones, better design, better buttons 3v1 options on h9. P10 Better Honor 9 on video recording, OIS. 3year bonus warrantly honor 9 is upgrade p10

  • No Oreo in Greece either.

  • Is this phone available already in Philippines?

  • Haven't gotten the Oreo update either..., any help with this? Anyone?

  • hello. i have STF-L09 and no oreo update here. anyone else have the same problem? thanks

  • Just bought it from Ali express, phone is pretty good with everything, but it doesnt have volte.. Is it same for every honor 9 model?

  • HELLO Models Nº STF-L09 already recieved Oreo update. 8.0.0. mine is already updated, found some isues on camera collors more specific the browns.

  • Why? Whats with updates? Where is differences comparing to Samsung or any other

  • This will be my last huawei /honor phone all because their update policy!

  • Does this phone supports LTE Advanced (4G+) / Carrier aggregation and how to switch this ON?

  • Does the Honor 9 support VR? I have n"t found anything on internet about that..

  • better buy the honor 9 or the p10?

  • To those deciding between Honor 8 Pro and Honor 9 (which I myself had to do in the past), I have owned both phones now and in my opinion it depends on whether or not you will like having a larger phone. Honor 8 Pro is a better phone in use - 1440p display, more RAM - but it was way too large than was comfortable for me. The screen also has a blue tint that was a little bit annoying, but not too bad. The increased resolution does look better, but 1080p didn't feel like much of a downgrade from it. So if you don't mind (or are looking for) having a phablet, then go with the 8 Pro. However, if you would prefer a smaller one - or like the front-facing fingerprint sensor - then go with the 9. Just bear in mind, right now there doesn't appear to be a way of showing an on-screen navigation bar for the 9, so you'll be stuck with the capacitive buttons.

  • Bought an honor 9 New open box, I checked with support the warranty was still valid, they said yes no problem its all active. Well 4 months later lost all network signal spoke to support they then arranged collection of the phone for repair. They are now saying its not covered by warranty they won't fix the phone and are trying to charge me to return the broken phone to me.. Disgusting will never deal with these bunch of con artists. Shame as the phone was good right up to the point it broke and became useless.

  • My honor 9's speaker output is very low, infact I found out the speaker on the below part is not working, the sound only comes from the upper speaker plz help me

  • Honor 9 or honor 8 pro?

  • I am honor 9 user and i don't have any problem regarding donwloading app, just try to update ur system or format

  • No, its really smooth and i love my honor9 its worth it

  • Is there any issue with youtube app

  • help me guys I cant download larger apps on my honor 9, it shows download error all the time.

  • Front camera isn't that bad but if you're looking for a great selfie camera you should look for other devices. Xiaomi Mi6 is a great phone, the performance it delivers is very close to Honor 9's but it has a worse front camera and the rear one doesn't capture as much detail as Honor's, although if you're going to be filming 4K at night Xiaomi may be the better choice as it has OIS (I'm not saying it has a bad camera, it's actually great and one of the best in the market, but if you're looking for the best camera at it's price range Honor is certainly make you happier). Despite this, it is a very good smartphone and if you're looking for great performance and a phone to last it is a great choice. I can tell you I bought a Honor 9 3 months ago and I'm very pleased with it so far, never got any sorts of lag and camera performance is great when it comes to rear camera photo and video. The display delivers you a great punch of colours and great brightness, even outside in sunny days.

  • what about honor 9 front camera ? And tell your opinion about front and rarer camera... Answer in two days

  • honor 9 front camera is blahh. but the rest its good.

  • Honor 9 or Mi6. Both are great imo. Anyone else to write a few words about front camera on Honor 9?

  • Honor 9 or Mi6. Both are great imo. Anyone else to write a few words about front camera on Honor 9?

  • What should I pick? -Huawei Mate 10 Lite -Huawei P10 Lite -Huawei Honor 9 (not i9) -HTC UI 11 Life -Xiaomi Mi6

  • When arrive in Malaysia?

  • to be sincere i dont like the back and front cameras and i have come from the nexus 5 that does not have the best camera around. so when changing to honor 9 i expected to notice some improvements and honestly i did not. important note: (obviously the cameras are far better than the ones on my nexus 5, but i mostly take pictures without flash, sometimes in low light scenarios, so my opinion is about those conditions of course).

  • I have mine for a few months now (may since september) and i have been using a protective case and tempered glass and i has not experience heat problems. only heats when i view movies, probably the graphic card heats, but not a burn hot. regards.

  • does it have heating issues?

  • the back looks classy and futuristic, the front... not so much

  • A question for people who use this phone? How good is front camera? Any problems with it? Thanks in advance.

  • HEy. Im a owner of honor 9. for 30 days more or less. its a superb phone. normal use (phone, some browsing and some youtube) the batery keeps up for 4 days. if you are gaming in 3/4 hours you need to charged it up again. its normal. drains in 2/3 hours of streaming video or a film. just like any current laptop.

  • U seriously need to get your eyes checked, the "i" behind makes a huge difference. U are commentating on the HONOR 9 opinions page, which is a high-end flagship, when the one u are talking about is HONOR 9i, or also known as MATE 10 LITE, and is a mid-end smartphone. Facepalm...

  • for those who own this, can i hear your feedback? how long is the battery life, normal daily usage and heavy gaming? is there any heating issue in case of heavy usage? phones durability if dropped or something?

  • The best phone ever had with lot of security features

  • Did you find the fcc-id?

  • What is best iphone 6s plus or honor 9

  • I wouldn't buy the honor 9 for the following reasons: lack of optical image stabilization, size (only 5.15 inches), LCD display

  • With what carriers will this work with in the USA and at what speeds should I expect like LTE, 4g 3g, etc.

  • I also got that app here in the USA with the FRD-L04 honor 8

  • actually the Honor 9 is newer so it will reeive updates longer and since it has Huawei's software, it won't slow down over time

  • To not get blurry selfies you need to set beautification to 0. By default it's on level 5 I believe. Sorry for the double post, I replied to the wrong person.

  • I would like an honest opinion.... should I wait for V10 to be released or go for 9??

  • H9.

  • Honor 9 and Honor 9i are not the same phones. Here we're talking about H9, and it has great battery and SoT.

  • First of all - finger scanner. Rear vs front. For me front finger scanner is very important.

  • Honor 8 or Honor 9? What are the main advantages of Honor 9?

  • Wrong, S7 will get Android 8.0. :)

  • S7 edge will not have Android 8. It will only reach Nougat. FYI :)

  • S7 edge ... even in 2018 ... this device is beast ... every thing is great and s7 edge will get android Oreo .

  • I am a samsung user, now i want to buy a new phone. Should I go for Galaxy S7 Edge or Honor 9? Please suggest performance wise n technology wise coz s7 edge launched in 2016 and honor 9 launched this year.

  • Please try video record inside, it has noisy pixels, why???

  • Honor installs quik app without permission in the Netherlands... Not amused.

  • Any idea when will the Hnor 9 get the Oreo update? I'm really looking forward to the update.

  • Honor 9i battery is draining very fast. Lasts only a half day. No fast charging

  • h9 has gyro sensor.

  • Is there is any issue because of the lack of gyroscope sensor??..will it support VR glass?

  • HELLOW I already got this phone. It works really good a great perfomance and very good camera. But actually I move to another country and I need to homologate this phone witj the FCC ID number, but I have not find it. Please, Does anybody here know where may I find It?

  • I also couldnt decide between those 2, but in the end I got h9 because it had a audio jack and micro sd slot (mi6 doesnt), but if u dont need those 2 u can get mi 6, it has better cpu and gpu (although h9 has very good cpu n gpu too)

  • Yet, Not Launching in India. Just Launched Honor 9i. Both are Different

  • Shoomie, can you tell me how much H9 is better than Z5 in daily use. A few days ago I sold my Nexus 5X, and I wanted to buy Z5, but than I saw H9, and I decide to buy it insted of Z5. Surely, H9 has newer and a lot faster SoC than Z5, more RAM, two cameras, bigger battery, simply it's a newr phone. But can you tell me (your opinion) is it a really big improvement over the Z5, when it comes to camera quality (in low light conditions)? Does H9 becoming worm (or hot) when you start some (heavy) games?

  • which will be best honour 9 or mi6

  • What if Honor 9 receives Oreo software update ? Will its portrait mode of front camera be improved , just like Mate 10 , or not ?

  • Just purchased one in black. hopoe i dont regret it. good luck to me.

  • Just i changed from Sony Xperia Z5 to Honor 9. For me.... great phone. All functions works fast and easy, battery it's enough for all day. Camera is good. Please if you expect really good photos, buy some dslr camera and enjoy. I strongly recommend.

  • you try honer8 my opinion

  • I just bougth this phone like 7 days ago...Back side is too shiny and it'll have cracks in few months. Battery life is not so good, it lasts max 1 day and I don't use it so often. Phone is fast and in good perfomance. Camera is very bad in my opinion. I had LG G5, it has 100 times better camera then this one.

  • Screen resolution is FHD. Images are smooth. Auto brightness tuning works correctly. So generally screen is very good.

  • Guys, how about the screen resolution of the phone, is it as well as other seems? And is it expected to receive Oreo upgrade anytime soon?

  • rates are also diffrent man 0p5 is twice as of compared to rates of honor9i

  • Please upload review on honor 9i

  • Optimization is more important too, gaming on Honor 9 is smooth and pleasure.

  • OP 5 has a better graphics benchmark, so it is a better device for gaming.

  • I googled quickly and found out that P10 Lite and Honor 9 use same front camera module. So it seems you should feel nothing changed.

  • Honor 9 or OP 5 guys?? can you tell the pros and cons For gaming, photo, social media and long term use (2-4 years) *sorry bad grammar

  • I was asking because I have p10 lite and its front camera is autofocus and I am thinking of buying Honor 9 but Honor 9's front camera has fixed focus . Does it matter ? Would selfies be great by Honor 9 ?

  • Front camera is fair enough with face detection. Its better than samsung s7

  • Too vague definition :) What do you mean by "brilliant"? For sure it can't take a photo like a dslr camera. But for twitter/instagram/facebook the Honor's front camera suits well. Again, don't expect a miracle from it. It does like good lighting.

  • Is honor 9's front camera is brilliant ?

  • The battery is doing great. Overnight discharge ~2%. 4G network is on and the phone doing all usual stuff. Daily discharge ~60%-70% after some internet browsing, watching video and listening music. Of course if you have had some heavy games played you kill your battery in a few hours.

  • How is the battery doing? SOT? Thanks in advance.

  • I really like this phone. Obviously it's not No. 1 among modern phones (835-based phones faster) but still its performance enough for almost all games/task you can imagine. UI is simple and smooth. There are two UI modes: like iPhone when all your apps are placed on the desktop or like standard Andriod when apps are in the drawer. What I personally like is that you can swap HW system buttons. Fingertip unlock turned up extremely useful feature. Main camera is pretty good. It has a lot of shooting modes. I use just one - auto ;). Front camera not bad as well. All what you need is adjust SW photo post processing. Sometimes the phone tries to make you too pretty.

  • How is the battery performance in honor 9i?

  • Is its front camera ia auto focus ? Please let me know .

  • I've been hearing bad remarks about Honor 9's front camera for the last three weeks that it captures blur photos . Is it true ? The front camera is really that bad . Please let me know . I am confused either I should buy this or not .

  • Really amazing phone. Switched from Nexus 6P. Calling quality is very high, speakers and mic, audio. Front and back cameras are wow! UI is very beautiful minimalistic and usable. Quality and compact phone. Playing games is smooth and is really nice. This phone works so fast, no lag, nothing, I really recommend it to everybody.

  • Wha.. Are you serious? The front camera is that bad?

  • is it fast for internet speeds ?

  • I have only one question from Honor 9 users . Is its front camera is auto focus just like P10 lite , mean to ask , does front camera capture brilliant photos ?

  • who needs the front camere when are they gonna remove it

  • i'm really really disappointed of the front camera quality it looks like a 0.3 MP , front camera is important for me , i really love the phone but i think i will get a one plus 5 instead

  • As i said i have two different devices here. I read on amazon germany in the ratings that some people have that too. I think everybody who say it is good just did not compare to other phones

  • I've bought it from a chinese site, do you know any other use who has a good front camera? I'm pretty sure we have a problem

  • In germany on amazon

  • But a lot of honor 9 users and even in reviews. Selfies are excellent sharps and a lot of details. So i think your phones and mine have the same problem., can i know where exactly did you buy it and its Chinese or EU??

  • I just compared Honor 9 with Honor 6x and Iphone 6s. Honor 9 selfies are just not sharp. hair is not sharp. colors are pale. dont think it is a hardwareproblem because i have two different honor 9 devices here (black and silver).

  • No, my front camera works fine, that might be q defective unit better have it replaced

  • Please guys is anyone experiencing issues with the front camera? Pictures are really bad. Blunt and with few details even in daylight., i don't know if it's a commun issue.

  • I have the same problem bro, I've been looking for solutions everywhere. But everyone keeps telling me it must be a hardware problem

  • iPhone experience is way better than most of the other companies in the market. The chipset of apple is very good in terms of performance. Camera quality is also very good. But as of today, in iPhone SE apart from the chipset, camera, performance, everything else like screen quality(Brightness, size, viewing angle etc), look and feel and battery are not up to the mark. If it is fine, then no harm in going for iPhone SE.

  • Is it launched in India

  • Honor 9 or iPhone SE ?

  • Hey Guys, I've just read the review and he has very good and sharp front camera fotos. I have two different honor 9 here and everything is great, but the front camera is so bad, compared to my honor 6x it makes real unsharp and fotos that are pale. I've read some other threads where people tell about the same problem. Do you have any idea if this is maybe firmware related?

  • Yes it has

  • Pls help is the honor 9 durable cause i've seen a scratch in the same place in several reviews

  • hope they launch the dual sim variant in india this time

  • Huawei Honor 9 will launch in India on October 5.

  • Does it have screen mirroring?

  • MiA1 is a good choice if you're on a tight budget.

  • Tnx bro :)

  • Buy the honor 9 bro

  • Pls help which is better to buy Honor 9, samsung a5 2017 or J7 2017?

  • The box,in which comes the phone is beautiful. But inside is not. There is only phone, charger, manual, and in other countries case, but not in mine. Nothing else. Nothing to make impress. Very low battery life - four hours display usage and phone is off. In comparsion with my old mid range Honor 5C, 5C has excellent battery. But charging is on H9 very fast, my old one had not this. Great performance. Its very fast phone, everything is opened in light speed, rarely apps are reopening, so RAM is too good. EMUI is bad. For Honor 5C, which got EMUI 5, it was great and for priced phone like 5C, EMUI 5 has great functions. But not for H9. H9 is three times more expensive than 5C and i expected some more functions and improvements, like in Galaxy S7, which has a lot more functions than H9. With H9 í felt like i have more expensive 5C, but still cheap phone. With S7 í feel í actually have expensive and premium phone. Updates sick. Compared to 5C, which got three EMUI 4 updates and one EMUI 5 update - the phone says that no update is available in official app, but when i use Firmware Finder app (unofficial app, which is for downloading official EMUI updates) it shows all updates list and date when they were released. Í can live with this if i have 5C, but i can't do the same with H9! Camera is bad. 5C made me to say WOW when i taken pictures from it, because before 5C í had low end phone. It has lot of improvements and great low light performance for phone priced like this. But H9 was same. It has optical zoom, but that is everything. Nothing impressed me on camera. Sometimes í felt that photo from 5C was better that H9, especially in low light, maybe due to f/2.2 (H9) vs f/2.0 (5C). Anyway, it looks beautiful. Sapphire Blue variant is gorgeous, really loved it. But sometimes, when comparing H9 with my current Galaxy S7, i feel more "Premium" with my S7. I had Huawei Y6 Pro and it was great phone for great price, same with Honor 5C. But Honor 9 is really overpriced and very expensive with slightly or no improvements (compared to Honor 5C mid range phone). I feel that this phone is higher mid range, but not high end, as is presented in many shops and websites. Í really hated Samsung devices but after H9 í had to buy Galaxy S7, which costs same price as H9 in my country with cashback (CZ).

  • That's because of sunglasses' polarization. But for some reasons a regular, cheap screen protestor helps for that. At least in my case.

  • you can only use it in portrait mode with your sunglasses. in landscape mode your screen will be black. other brands use a different coating and will not get black but the colours will shift.

  • May I know when will be release in Malaysia?

  • May i know when only available in malaysia

  • I have an honor 8 and its splash resistant

  • I've been hearing quite good reviews about Honor phones. But the thing is they are not that quick with updates aren/t they? And all of them (including the 6X & 8) are all shiny metal phones that don't even have a very basic splash-resistant nano coating that when it gets wet the phone will just stop. True? And sunlight readability (despite all the tech inside the screen, colour calibration, etc.) isn't really good. Comments please?

  • If you're a gamer and want performance, go for Oneplus5. In today's date, it is the fastest.

  • Can anyone tell me what the Honor 9 is like to use with Polarized Sunglasses please? I have read that the screen polarization is vertical that means the srcreen will "go blank" when viewed with polarized sunglasses - i.e. the polarization of the screen and sunglasses interfere with each other.

  • When it is going to come to India?

  • Hi guys, how are you? wanted to know about his battery, it lasts a full day with mixed use, not very intense use but not too light ??

  • Is it protected by gorilla glass ?? (front & back )

  • If you thinking about Burst mode-shooting in honor 9 user manuals is stated that you can take up to 100 pics per burst sequence if you have storage (Burst shooting mode only without HDR, Panorma, Light painting, Super Night mode). There is some official info about P9 for Emui 4.1, can take up to 100 pics in 6 sec in Burst mode so i belive that Honor 9 is equivalent because of better CPU/GPU/RAM configuration but also larger mpx camera so more data to process. So approximately 16 pics/sec

  • A question for the users. How many shots/pics per second de back camera does in high res? cant find that spec anywere.

  • I must say, i compared honor 9 and P10 side by side in store(only black available in Croatia). Honor 9 feels much more premium phone than P10 in hand, i was amazed! Yes its biger but holding honor 9 in hand is so much nicer. Sadly price of P10 and honor 9 is the same 530€ (+/-20€) for now in croatia. P10 cons are Leica and separate monochromatic photo, but that honor 9 is slick phone. Premium finish, its like it is made from just one part, you cant feel transition between front-back glass and metal frame!

  • huawei phones kill back ground process apps very aggressively. so make sure u check that out in the settings. another one is make sure u allow the notification on those apps to appear on the notivication bar

  • Hi does anyone know why honor 9 whatsapp ans wechat notification is not automatically pop up and i have to refresh both of the apps then can see message appear.please help me

  • Dolby sound quality and battery 4500 better

  • vivo v5s or v5plus very good for music. must try.

  • Where did you read that ? Huawei said they will be launching 6 GB variant in september in india.

  • it won't, we have to get along with honor 8 pro.

  • When honor 9 will launch in India?

  • Go with HUAWEI Nova 2 plus, music experience is awesome and everything, A5 2017 is of glass body with breaks down with a single fall,

  • Go with HUAWEI Nova 2 plus,

  • the difference between krin950 and 960 is huge. the most noticeable improvement is the GPU which provides a better experience of mobile games.

  • Hi i want to know if huawei honor 8/9 works on boost mobile?

  • HI everyone. I´m undecided between Honor 9, Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017) and Samsung Galaxy S7. I eard bad remarks about the fragile display protection of Honor. Is it true, or overated? Does covers resolve the problem? Samsung galaxy A5 is even cheaper (100 euros) and the Galaxy S7 is nowadays at the same price. I´m not a gamer I perfer listening to music, wich one would you chose?

  • hi evryone i wanna know that is it just a little improvement on performance between950 and 960 like sd 820 or 821 or it is quite noticeable ? i wanna get honor 9 but its not available in my country also price is a bit more then my budget honor 9 is a great device but honor 8 is also one of the best 2016 device is it okey that i get a honor 8 note (i like heavy games and can't wait to play top heavy hight graphics games on my new device ) honor 8 is okey ? or I should wait for honor 9 to come in my country or better device then these in future im a gamer i like performance not a camra lover thank you in advance for helping me out

  • I´m undecided between Honor 9 and Samsung Galaxy A5 (2017), specially because the remarks about the fragile display protection of Honor. Is it true, or overated? Does covers resolve the problem? Samsung galaxy A5 is even cheaper (100 euros) and the Galaxy S7 is nowadays at the same price. Wiich one would you chose?

  • couldn't agree more...

  • I'm looking forward to a bezeless Honor 10 Pro :)

  • yes i wonder why, the license was too high or ?

  • It just sucks that nowadays most of the high end phones do no have an FM radio. It's really a bad move on the part of consumers.

  • Look for alexis tan on facebook. Got my nokia 6 from him he is a legit seller check his page. Hope this helps you.

  • Yea... forget Sony i think this is my next phone.

  • No, the honor 8 pro is not the same.

  • Yes

  • For all in the Philippines, Davao City. Where can I buy Honor 8/8pro/9 phones here? Please help me cause I just moved here.

  • I think it just launch in India under name Honor 8 pro

  • I am searching like anything to buy this phone but it's not even available in India yet. Can anybody tell me in Asia where I can get it?

  • My device had a small burst within two weeks

  • Between this phone and the Xiaomi M.I 6, which is more durable in terms of design and software updates?

  • Between this phone and the Xiaomi M.I 6, which is more durable in terms of design and software updates?

  • The back is flashier than fake Yu Gi Oh cards.

  • I think it is quality control. Almost all of them used IPS LCD display, and yet it is not as bright as other IPS LCD non-Chinese brand smartphones like my smartphone.

  • Why do you think the screen calibration is poor? Is it the manufacturing process? Or just poor optimisation and quality control?

  • Yes. And somehow Chinese smartphones are rather bad in colour calibration

  • I did hear that Honor's screen calibration is rather bad and that's probably why in direct sunlight it's readability is poor.

  • The brightness is not that bright. Well since yesterday I got my dad a HUAWEI P10 PLUS, turning the brightness to about 1/3 of it, it is not that bright. My XPERIA XZ's brightness is set to 1/5 from the maximum and it is slightly not bright than the HUAWEI P10 PLUS, but the brightness level is very close. But if u turn to around the max with this smartphone, I guess u can see it with sunglasses on. I compare with a HUAWEI P10 PLUS is because their FHD & QHD displays are almost the same in terms of brightness for HUAWEI smartphones

  • Trying to get rid of my old but still very dependable all-rounder Moto G4 and have been hearing good things about the Honor 9 especially for its price. But I want to ask about the screen. Based on it's hardware (and software optimisation) would you say the screen is very bright (even when sunglasses on) in direct sunlight?

  • If you could read, the review states it uses Gorilla Glass front and back

  • Honor 9 or nova 2 plus

  • Yes you are right

  • Honor 9 is beautiful,cheap and one handed use is great but to me biggest drawback is no dts enhancement,no screen protection like cg3, camera doesn't have laser autofocus, and fragile glass design. I use my phone roughly and there is a big chance it will have a big crack wothin a month. If you want to use your phone one handed and use carefully go for Honor 9 otherwise Honor 8 pro is a great multimedia device. Better screen, better audio, better durability. Trust me hot phone is better than a cracked phone.

  • India launch date?

  • Not to sure but you can soon take a look of this phn on my youtube channel

  • A5

  • Indian launching?

  • Can it record in 1080p@60fps?

  • In fact Honor 9 is more powerful than P9 in looks and in performance and will never slow down for 500 days. Just that it is very slippery so you need to cover it with a case to secure it. By the way it has corning gorilla glass 3 just like Honor 8 but every other thing is improved. It 's beating all the flagship phones in speed except Oneplus 5. It beat Xioami Mi 6 and even the Almighty Galaxy S8 in speed. It also has the fastest finger print on the market along with Huawei P10. Amazing Device.

  • I have a coupon to use in a locar retailer and I´n not sure which phone shoul I choose... Honor 9 for 459€ or Hwaei P9 for 429€. Any opinios guys?

  • Does Honor 9 have an update to Android 7.1? If not - is it planned (when)?

  • when honor 9 will be launched in India ?

  • Honor 9 or Samsung A5 or refurbished 6s 64gb?

  • I've ordered myself one. Not really fussed about waiting for the 6GB ram/128 GB variant. I doubt the extra RAM will make that much difference and 64GB is plenty storage for me, with most of media files stored on cloud. Can't wait to get to grips with it!

  • If Huawei did a Pro version of Honor 9 with IP67 WaterResistance and OIS on the camera, and with a price of about 520 Eur, that would be one of the greatest phones. Do it Huawei ! Make it a flagship killer !

  • The official location for buying Honor phones is VMall EU. I'm not gonna post the link, just look it up on google

  • no, its no ip68

  • Please i need your advice on Huawei phone which one is high recommended

  • yes

  • Does anybody know if any Honor is waterproof?

  • hi dear from where u purchase honor 9 ?

  • If you have to choose between honor 8 pro and honor 9 wich one would you choose The specs are same honor 9 metal desine is good and durable but heat up quickly i think then the honor 9 becuse of metal desine and does not look that actrective and beautifull And honor 9 is more beautifull and atractive too but( glass desine ) wich make it attrective also can crake it in just one drope wich can be a real pain for eyes lol I think price tag difrrence is about 25 dollors wich is quit acceptable Honor 8pro have great disply but 9 have beautifull desine 8 can be best gaming device and durable too but 9 is also great with 5.15 inch screen and good pricetag Any suggestions Stuck between these two devises

  • is this phone have IR blaster?

  • Reading from the specs, I do not understand why the lack of communication band is not mentioned (compared e.g. to OP5) - specifically 4G. I like the Infrared on the Honor...so you can use it as a TV remote :-)

  • I just bought one the 6GB and 128 GB, yes it is exists in the market. I trying now utilize the camera, initially seems very sharp dan the features is rich. Let see later the durability and others features

  • Well RAM jumped from 4 to 6gb and i think the camera is way better on the Honor 9. Also battery size weent from 3000mah to 3200mah.

  • Comparing Honor 8 to 9, there's really NOTHING in it. No significant improvement, just a price increase. What's the point?!

  • I haven't faced any problem like that since buying the following phones : Nokia N8, Nokia 808, Samsung Note 2 N7100 and Samsung Note 4 SM-910G. Huawei sucks without OIS.

  • Before September I meant

  • Is this phone gonna come soon to India?,I want a smaller mobile for my mother and this is perfect choice,12+20mp must be better than the 12+12 on honor 8 pro ,hope it gets released before that

  • Honor series lineup is not even on sale in Singapore, we only got the P10 and P10 Plus.

  • maybe i missed something but i think reviever didnt mentioned about v.slow memory used in this phone. After some time this phone will slow down significantly

  • AMOLED = screen burn

  • Hi guys. I have one question about camera comparison between honor 9 and honor 8. Pictures taken by honor 9 in low-light conditions are very blury (as well pictures taken by huawei p10) and i'm wondering why, because pictures taken by honor 8 are not that blury and have more details. You test honor 8 before or after software update?

  • Is honor 9 with 128GB available on the Philippines?

  • Is hisilicone better than exynos or snapdragon? the price is too high compare to Snapdragon's chip-set phones!!!!

  • huawei and honor seems to lie the customer. there will be no 6gb ram version. not produced yet.

  • Honor 9 ,honor 8 pro sure they have latest chip (kirin 960) wich is good i love heavy gaming but what if i could not manage to get them i mean honor 9 is available in few regions (is it available in austrelia ? ) and 8 pro is a bit expensive So is honor 8 good enough in performince (for heavy gaming etc) I want to say ( honor 8 is a good phone killer desine , beauti and the beast but ) evryone think as me after the new faster chip older is it a bit slower then my expectations ? Lol 😂😂 is honor 8 fast enough for my haeavy games and future games Any tips any suggestions ?

  • Does it have 1) OIS for rear camera? and 2) super AMOLED display?. Then how can you say that honor 8 is best?.

  • And on top I said they got their own Fast Charge. Samsung uses their Fast Adaptive Charging too stupid. I am talking between HUAWEI Kirin chipsets and QUALCOMM SNAPDRAGON chipsets. Stupid

  • Anyone know if Honor 9 is waterproof? Also anyone know if Honor 8Pro is waterproof too? And is it going to become available in UK on a contract? TIA

  • Yes Huawei / Honor have their own Fast charging setting. Just make sure your device comes with their fast charger. Go with experience not all Honor 8 were shipped with fast chargers..

  • I own an Honor 8 since December 2016 and it has the latest Android built for it. As for the battery the phone is an all round performer battery is very good. If you got auto updates and things running in the background that you don't use or need at the time of course you're going to get bad battery performance. The Honor 9 is a much improved Honor 8 and for what it's worth If your wallet is kinda tight opt for the Honor 8. There has been report on th Honor 9 screen and or back glass self-cracking no impact that and microphone problems that's about it on the defects of the Honor 9.. Build quality is excellent..

  • stop lie i have s7 edge exynos version and it support fast charge

  • Well, i can say i'm surprised with this phone. I've seen other huawei devices and this seems to be the best one of them so far. Also, i've seen people here talking about honor 8 pro is better but i wouldn't agree, battery is 4000 mAh but endurance is same 77 hours like this one (only better thing on 8 pro is gorilla glass). In addition, honor 9 is waay more beautiful phone than the other huawei phones and, in my opinion, it's more beautiful than this new galaxy s8, xiaomi, oneplus... Yes, it has few minuses but it is a good phone for its price. Like from me!

  • But they have their very own Fast Charge

  • Nope, sorry dude. HUAWEI HONOR 9 is powered by HUAWEI's very own HiSilicon Kirin chipsets not QUALCOMM's SNAPDRAGON chipsets. Quick Charge is only available for SNAPDRAGON chipsets

  • i have from the bigining honor 8 but now its started battery life go down

  • seriously?? I owned honor 8 too and the battery life is horrible. its drained so fast.

  • seriously?? I owned honor 8 too and the battery life is horrible. its drained so fast.

  • Honor 8 battery life is awesome.

  • Not true. OnePlus 5 has the same battery life as the Honor 8 Pro which uses a Kirin 960 chip and 5.7 inch quad HD display. I would argue the Honor 9 will also have a similar battery life. Standby drain is the not an issue. Remember Kirin chipsets are owned by Huawei so they are able to optimize their phones to the maximum level. OnePlus 5 still has bugs.

  • Anyone know is it going to sell in austrelia or pakistan?

  • yes, it have

  • It looks great, both specs and design. Can anyone confirm if it has QuickCharge or not ?!

  • Well? At least there is earjack on this one. When the price drops in a few months it will be even better.

  • Op5 have better performance, i choosen Honor 9 because it looks amazing in glacier gray

  • Honor 9 vs op5 which is better? Rene

  • hi honor 9 is big.. big problem its not dual sim dual active function.... just dual sim dual standby...

  • that infrared port is a welcome addition, wow!

  • The problem with Huawei/Honor mid to high end devices is primarily the battery life. The Kirin processors are plenty powerful, but they are a lot hungrier than their Qualcomm equivalent. There is also a standby drain, more so with Nougat. Battery should last a whole day on normal usage, though one heavy usage, you may need a top up in the evening. If you are ok with that, the Honor 9 is a good choice. Otherwise, I would at this point save a bit and go for the OP5, which has worse camera, but much better battery life.

  • You clearly haven't held both then have you and only made a comment to try to promote your own opinions. I have held both and own the p10 with the Kirin 960 and agree with all the the reviews, although the the devices lack other functions one area it doesn't fall short is the performance of the Kirin 960. It performs well enough to put higher priced phones to shame. As for the quantity of devices failing to heat issues, I would love to see your evidence. Put up or shut up.

  • Question, with this not being released in the USA yet, would a European version work in the USA if I imported it? Could I just throw my USA SIM card in it with no issues?

  • Wouldn't it be? Then you know nothing Huawei's own processor and its performance! Go to learn

  • Samsung s7 copy

  • Am I telling like that? LoL Look at my comparison. I was writing like that in order to give some knowledge that people don't understand. From all of the spec to its price. Mi 6 has a better spec and cheaper price. Honor 9 has only chance to chasing the shadow of Mi 6, though both of phone has an almost similar form.

  • Bro, if you want an unbreakable mobile, please go for Moto X force !! Amazing durability !

  • Dude,one category that means nothing. Whoever held both knows the story from first hand. Kirin is a throttling joke. P10 CPU-s shutting down phones during summers across China(chinese Huawei club).

  • Xiaomi is not sold outside China and those pricing is for China markets. Honor 9 pricing of 340$ is within China.

  • They first said the price is $340 for the basic one, then we saw $500 I think because of One plus 5. Now I see $450, What is their problem? You seem not to be sure of what you want for your customers. Oneplus 5 basic phone is $500 and Xiaomi mi 6 basic one is $400 so Honor wants to be in between. Hahahaaa, Chinese companies that oo!

  • My question shoud be wich one is better kirin 960 or apple A9 but whenewhere im close to get a cool budght device its not available in those regions where i can get it as oneplus honor 9 is not officialy available in austrelia and pakistan (i think so , going to sell in limited regions ) okey now tell me any iphone se user who is enjoying heavy games on 4 inch screen or its a bit short ? Or honor 8 performince is good enugh to enjoy heavy games let me know please i like performance becuse of gaming but now i have to get a all rounder device bcz of iPhone short screen i think iphone hardwere live long then the honor wich can be a game changer any suggestion from seniors tec buddiess

  • Check this out bro befor you laugh...http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/huawe­i-kirin-960-speed-power-battery-performance-spec­s

  • Does anyone know where can I buy it if based from the Philippines and if it supports our SIMs??

  • Kirin + mali better than snapdragon and adreno? Haaahahahahaha,good joke man!

  • Too heavy. Sansumg S6 Edge is just 132 g weight. Otherwise looks ok.

  • It does have fast charging

  • I think the Honor 8 was great produkt, now with the nine will be better then even. Can't waita to sell it again soon also

  • This would be a great competitor against Mi 6. Same display spec (IPS LCD 5,15" / 1080p). Slightly taller than Mi 6 (147,3 mm vs 145,2 mm from Mi 6). Procie (Kirin 960 + Mali G71 MP8 vs SD 835 + Adreno 540). Basic configuration memory and internal (64/4 vs 64/6). Rear Camera (20 + 12 no OIS/EIS vs dual 12 MP with OIS 4-axis). Battery pack (3200 mAh vs 3350 mAh). Miscellaneous (Bluetooth 4,2 vs 5,0, no Fast Charging vs Quick Charge 3,0, no Dust/Water/Splash resistance vs Splash resistance, 3,5mm audio jack vs no 3,5mm, micro SD slot vs no slot). Basic Price (500 EUR vs 400 EUR). Honor 9 cheaper than P10 about 100 EUR with same basic configuration, but with slighly degradation in terms of camera (P10 using Leica optics and has OIS on it) and P10 also has Fast Charging.

  • No fast charging and bluetooth 5.0? This is kinda stupid.

  • Plenty of good shots are done with OIS, it's extremely overrated.

  • What's this samsung copy past crap?

  • Just break my heart to read a news in gsmarena that its available in some countries austrelia was not mention there can anyone tell me is it going to be available there or thats true that we can buy it in few countries not globaly Anyone knows ?

  • still no OIS. No way

  • beautiful phone

  • Phone looks great and shiny for its price. I definitely like it but battery should be better.

  • I have Huawei p9 lite for a while and i drop the phone many times without a case ...it s still fine and just few scrathes on the Back of the phone bla bla bla.ciao

  • Honor 9 without protection.Is it not downgrading?Bigger in size and smaller screen size.?

  • That is one beautiful design

  • I have 6x and dont break easily like what u stated.

  • nope thats the downside of huawei sorry.. u must buy more expensive phones then :/

  • please provide full review of honor 9

  • No quick charge ??

  • Would this phone have Gorilla 3/4 protection? Honor 6X and Huawei P9 Lite are disasters. Screen smashes by a 20 cm fall WITH Huawei's own protection...

  • can't agree more. we want honor 9 review please.

  • it seems to not

  • You know you could always get the Huawei honor 8 pro or known as the V9

  • Does this phone have OIS ?

  • Thx for the answer. Now and the price have sense because it was 300€ and now is 500€.

  • wont this phone get a gsmarena review?? even days after release?? seriously?? OP5 had that few hours after launch...i luv the design of honor 9 more than OP5

  • this is excellent ,Im waiting for it

  • Get the Huawei honor 8 pro.It has better camera,bigger screen and same speed performance.Plus no glass back panel.

  • The price range is that Huawei's P10 camera is outbeating honor 9's camera by a lot.It's not marketing or anything.Judging by personal experience with the P10 and watching videos of the Huawei honor 9 i can see the difference. -The videos created by the Honor 9 are shaky,blurred and like worse than Honor 8.The extra mp did nothing.And the 4k quality was average.Where as the P10 dominates with great colors,details and less shakiness and not so much blurred vision. -The night shots were bright and decent,points to honor 9 but the P10 has a natural feeling and it's not over exposed. -The daily picture of the Huawei honor 9 were like a drawing,it didn't have a 3D natural feeling.The contrast was on point and colors were nice,but it was missing depth and it didn't have natural feeling.It was more like a good painting. -The selfie is same.Nothing much changed. P10 Also has better built quality since it's full metal.The glassy back on the honor 9 is making it look like Xiaomi mi 6 so they cut costs there. In my opinion,honor 8,P9 and P10 had better cameras than this. Also the big price point isn't correct.The Huawei honor 9 is only 50-100$ less and it's the average camera quality and lack in built materials.Sill the P10 is a bit overpriced.

  • Last year there was a large version named Honor Note 8, but it had 6.6" QHD SuperAMOLED screen.... There should be one this year too... But i reckon it should be over 6" as well.....

  • Please Huawei we need plus model of 5'5 with QHD display. Be fast and bring it in few months time. We are waiting. The 5'15 display is too small for many of us. Don't take it to 500 euros please.

  • I've just seen 500 dollar tag at the end of the specs table why this?

  • I mean the record of P9 and P9 plus. The most purchased huawei phone model. Honor can beat it if the price remains where it is as we've been made aware. Again and more importantly they should bring Honor 9 plus that comes with ois and radio app with QHD display. This will surely increase the sales.

  • This phone at it price must sell better than honor 8 but if they would made a plus model of 5.5 inches with reduced top and bottom bazels this can break the record of the P10 and P10 plus. That is if the price remains where we know it is $340 for 64gb 4gb, $400 for 64gb 6gb and $400 for 128gb 6gb. Everything is improved high above the Honor 8.

  • when will this be available in india? expected price? im waiting for it

  • Honor and Huawei have different marketing strategy and consumer target. Honor sold online mostly and cut corners slightly although unnoticeable in specs and build.

  • Welcome to Huawei's own very weird marketing strategy where they make midranger like Honor 9 and flagships like P10 but the specs are flagship grade

  • Can someone tell me what is the difference between this honor 9 and p10 because they have almost same stats and big price difference

  • Disaster,no glass protection(Honor 8 was abysmal in that department too),no modern quick charging,headphone jack but no FLAC support on the device? Is this a candid camera dear Huawei or what?

  • No OIS no dust proof Its a no from me

  • I hope band B20 and Galileo is present on one of the versions for european usage.

  • Great phone

  • Now this is what i want. from no headphone jack now they put it. This will be the great phone in 2017. Cheap yet monster specs like Honor 8 in 2016

  • This is a great phone for its price range a must buy for me when it comes OUT!!

  • $360 for the 64gb 4gb ram, $400 for the 64gb 6gb ram and $440 for the 128gb 6gb ram is great. This should surely sell more than the predecessor Honor 8.

  • I like the fact that they included the audio 3.5mm headphone jack and the camera can take 4k video. It also have all the powerful specs of their their flagship phones. The only difference is no ois in the camera, no sterio speaker and no 24-bit/192kHz audio. But for the price point it is a great great phone and one can't complain. Good job done.

  • This phone looks very much like the type I have being waiting for to make it my main phone for the next one year. Yes I think this is it.

  • FEATURES Sensors Fingerprint (front-mounted), accelerometer, gyro, proximity, compass

  • It seems a nice phone.. beautiful and good price .. I Can't wait to have it on my hands

  • I dont see any distinct resemblance of Honor 8 on Xiaomi Mi6. Honor 9 is the wannabee here you cant deny it the curves. d overall design

  • I'm disappointed. There is no such a big step forward from Honor 7. At the same time, two BIG steps backwards: no gesture control on fingerprint reader and no "clever button". I use each frequently (I mean, many times a day).

  • Now

  • Seems Legit

  • I definitely like the blue color Huawei picked. It rocks.

  • the price might tell that is a second honor v9...which was dissapointing

  • When it Will be available in India?

  • Surely... mi 6 is the wannabe here.

  • The. Mi 6 is a honor 8 wannabe. The honor 9 is just like the 8

  • Good, wonderful, I am happy today to know that some of my hopes and expections of this phone is restored. Very glad the audio 3.5mm jack is there and the camera can take 4k videos. Only thing that was left out is ois but I am satisfied, very satisfied now because the price is still at $400 while all specs are increased. More Internal memory and ram and 4k video this time. Very impressed. Thank you.

  • I see Xiaomi Mi6 wannabe here

  • You are wrong! My Huawei P9 battery charge lasts the whole day!

  • Yeah because the feature is not that good. Go for Huawei P9, it is better.

  • Yes it has IR blaster. You can see it from the hands on videos.

  • Who needs radio that won't work without the wired headset? Everywhere there are free Wi-Fi, internet radio is better and you can use Bluetooth ear buds while listening to your favorite station.

  • Not really. Internet radio is the best!

  • Ask Apple, they have making phones with non-removable battery ever since.

  • i would like to purchase this device.

  • IP 68? Customers prefer to be able to remove/replace the battery. WHY do you make the battery non-removable except by the service centre? That is really annoying. What about the EU GPS system Galileo?

  • It would be great if this phone had FM Radio.

  • Does it have IR Blaster ?

  • This honor 9 phone do doesn't support FM Radio?

  • It reminds me of Xiaomi Mi 6

  • Well done for 64gb straight out of box.

  • Really 300eur only? It is so worth 😍😍😍

  • This looks so much better than the P10 at a more realistic price. No radio though and let's see how long the battery lasts, previous Honor phones had terrible battery, barely lasted til evening.

  • i think thats impossible for this phone to have 300EUR

  • Difference between Honor 9 and Huawei p10 besides the looks and price is Honor 9 gets the 6gb variant, includes a better audio chip, has capacitive buttons while camera lacks OIS, front camera is F2.0 compared to F1.9 on P10, and uses a LTPS display while P10 has the Neo IPS display.

  • Unlike the P10, the Honor 9 actually has optional capacitive buttons besides the front finger print sensor.

  • Just realised something weird. Huawei created HiSilicon 659 and other new processors for midrange Huawei phones. But they did not even change the HiSilicon 960 & 20MP + 12MP Camera Setup. I mean this is kinda boring tho. For example, u like Huawei devices. U want to choose a flagship phone. But u realised all got almost the same specs. So u will feel bored choosing it

  • I agree that there is too much wasted space at the top and bottom of the Honor 9. Huawei is not (yet) following the lead of the Samsung S8, LG 6 or Xiaomi Mix and giving us phones with minimal top and bottom bezels, which makes this phone look like it was designed a couple of years ago.

  • I like this. Also waiting for the Motorola X4 for comparison. Although the deciding factor for me will definitely be the regional availability. Honor 8 and Xiaomi Mi5/s were never made officially available in my country even though we're close to China. Neither was the Moto X style. fml

  • Looks a bit like a Sony phone with that wide/thick top and bottom bezel. Maybe copying a Motorola design?? With a height/length of over 147 mm, that's the problem from a purely elegance perspective. Would have looked sharper, more appealing, if it had been 4 or 5 mm shorter.

  • no amoled screen?

  • How come it's a copy of Xiaomi Mi6? It looks exactly similar to Honor 8 except the placement of fingerprint sensor on the front side which they followed after P10. Get your facts straight before commenting negative about the phone.

  • Was very much obsessed by phone phone waiting anxiously for it in some few months past but I must register my disappointment today. They are going the way of Xioami mi 6 but wasteful space is once again there on top and bottom which I hate. Still no image stablilisation, no 4k video capture, no radio, no audio 3.5mm jack, Ooohhhh Huawei you disappointed me this time. The ois and the 4k are as important as the camera itself this days. The standard of Honor 8 was great so we expect something greater at least like Honor 8 pro.

  • is a copy of xiaomi mi6 =)

  • oh well, but all i know is they remove headphone jack and its a mistake that some phone never did again to their latest phones.

  • No 3.5mm port, no radio and if it's anything like the previous Honor phones, rubbish battery life that barely manages working hours let alone a full day. This phone is already a dead duck.

  • Not impressed by the thick/wide top and bottom bezels. Should be no more than 143 mm in length rather than the 147+ that it is.

  • no headphone jack..why would they need to put DTS if they dont have headphone jack..DTS only works with headphones plugged in

  • How sad that they Copy the mistake of other phone. Removing Headphone jack? better to Buy Huawei Honor 8 Pro, and also no DTS? How Disappointing

  • I have the honor 8 and you can switch the back button and 'open pages' button around in the settings. They are soft buttons and there are no actual buttons on the phone (capacitive or analogue) so you can choose between a few orientation options in the settings - you can also choose whether or not to make use of an app drawer.

  • no headphone jack? **** it, no buy!

  • Is back 'button' still in screen location? or at bottom? what a kind of bad design if the back button home button still inside the screen.

  • Indeed Huawei is more going the wasting front space at the top and bottom. This one too no radio? Nowadays it seems all your high end phones don't come with radio. Please then create a radio up on the Play Store for us. One like in your phones, one that does not use internet.

  • This is supposed to be the Honor 9...

  • unfortunately it does look like a mi5 .... not liking the direction Huawei is going with it's phones this year...

  • This would be a master piece, with infra red pot, that's great

  • such powerful chip but no 4k video :/

  • Then make 2 versions, because 5.1 inch is too small for my taste!

  • no

  • look like a mi5

  • Why only 5.15 inch? That is too small for today's standards. They should make a 5.3, or 5.5 inch one and make smaller bezels.

  • This is probably strangest phone i ever seen. Dunno what to say.
