The Honor 9N shares its technical specifications with other Honor budget smartphones. However, in terms of design and features, the phone offers a refreshing new experience.
Honor,
the online sub-brand of the Chinese smartphone maker Huawei, has been
aggressively pushing its new smartphones in India. As a result, the
company recently becamme one of the fastest-growing smartphone brands
in the country, according to the Counterpoint research. A new
addition to the company’s budget smartphone portfolio, the Honor
9N, sports a notch-based screen, a first for the company’s budget
profile. However, there is more to the phone than just the new screen
format.
The
Honor
9N sports a premium glass design, dual rear cameras and a modern
19:9 aspect ratio notch-based screen. Importantly, the phone comes in
three RAM and storage configurations – 3GB/32GB, 4GB/64GB and
4GB/128GB. It shares its technical specifications with other Honor
budget smartphones, but in terms of design and features, it offers a
refreshing new experience.
The
Honor 9N takes design cues from its flagship sibling, the Honor 10.
The phone’s front and back are covered with glass, with subtle
curved sides that move into a metallic chassis. The back glass is
reflective in nature and takes some of the colour-changing properties
from the Honor 10. However, it is not as profound as seen in the
premium sibling.
The
front of the smartphone is dominated by a 5.84-inch notch-based
fullHD+ screen. However, even with a big screen, the phone’s form
factor is compact and it feels light in hand and comfortable to carry
in pocket. The phone’s back has a fingerprint scanner at the upper
centre and dual cameras, with an LED flash, on the extreme top left.
Interestingly, the camera unit does not bulge out much – it did in
the Honor View10 – and fits right inside the frame, improving the
phone’s design quotient.
Speaking
of the screen, it produces sharp colours and ample brightness to stay
legible under direct sunlight. The touch response is good and there
seems to be no issue with calibration. The screen contrast also
remains sharp which makes it suitable for multimedia content
consumption.
The Honor 9N is powered by Kirin 659 system-on-chip, which is a default choice of processor in most Honor budget smartphones. The processor seems to have aged now but still has the potential to keep things going the right way. It manages to run day-to-day tasks with ease, and manages to get along well with processor-intensive apps and games.
