In India, mid-range smartphones are the ones that make or break a brand. All the phone brands have been trying to out-do each other by providing the best features in the lowest price possible. It’s the golden era for the Indian smartphone consumers and the latest phone to enter the ring in this competitive segment is the much awaited Honor 9N. It’s been launched in India at a starting price of Rs 11,999 with three variants.
Stunning Design
Honor 9N, advertised as an #ExtraordinaryBeauty, is truly a beautiful phone which has a futuristic 2.5D curved glass design and is built with a 12-layer glass coating which gives the phone a mirror-like premium finish. It’s available in four beautiful shades – Lavender Purple, Midnight Black, Robin Egg Blue and Sapphire Blue.
Full View Notch Display
Honor 9N’s narrow notch design with a 5.84-inch 19:9 aspect ratio FHD+ display with 2280x1080 pixel resolution, makes it easier to hold and operate, as it has more screen space within a compact frame. It also comes with a micro USB port along with a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
Dual-lens Camera
Honor always sets the bar high when it comes to the camera and Honor 9N does not disappoint. It has a 13 MP and 2 MP dual rear camera, which captures photos with bokeh effects brilliantly. As far as selfies go, its 16 MP front-facing camera takes amazing selfies that make you look good in all kinds of light. The camera also supports PDAF and 1080p video recording.
Honor has tried to have fun with their camera by including other features like AR Lens that let you add fun backgrounds to pictures, a Capture First, Focus Later mode and Beauty AI feature, which makes selfies look phenomenal.
Incredible Performance
The Honor 9N is powered by a HiSilicon Kirin 659 Octa-core chipset, that feels smooth and fluid even when multi-tasking. It runs on Android 8.1 Oreo and has a highly customisable and feature-packed EMUI 8.1 skin on top.
Face Unlock
Not only does the Honor 9N have a fingerprint scanner at the back, it also comes with the face unlock feature. Its Smart Face unlock feature keeps your notifications private and only works if your eyes are open. Which means your friends can’t prank you by unlocking your phone when you’re asleep.
Amazing Built-in Features
The best part about Honor is that they try to deliver features customized for the Indian users. Honor 9N has features like Paytm Pay which lets you pay with the touch of a fingerprint, Ride Mode which keeps two-wheelers safe on the road by taking away the distractions and Party Mode that lets users connect 6 smartphones to 1 master phone and play music in-sync.
