Honor 9N Launched In India

Honor has launched, what effectively is their update to the Honor 9 lite, the Honor 9N. The new phone from the company has a starting price of Rs. 11,999. Honor continues to stress the fact that smartphones don’t necessarily have to cost a lot to offer flagship-like features. The company plans on selling the smartphone exclusively via Flipkart from 31st July at 12 PM. We can expect this to be a flash sale so prospective buyers should be ready to place their orders as soon as the device is live on Flipkart. The smartphone will also be available on Honor’s own website.

Display And Design

The Honor 9N, while a mid-range smartphone, has impressive specifications and features. Starting with the display, the phone features a 5.84-inch Full HD+ 2160 x 1080 px screen. The display follows a 19:9 aspect ratio. The smartphone has a striking similarity to the Honor 9 Lite. One of the reasons for this could be that both devices belong to the same lineup. With the exception of a microphone, which sat between the rear-facing camera and LED flash in the Honor 9 Lite. In the case of the Honor 9N, the two microphones sit on the top and bottom of the device.

Honor 9N uses the EMUI 8.0 which is the company’s custom ROM based on Android 8.0 (Oreo). We can expect the phone to later be updated to Android 9.

The secondary camera on the device is a 16MP sensor which the smartphone will also use for face-unlock.

Honor 9N To Launch On 24th July

Huawei is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer which has been giving the likes of Samsung a tough competition. The company took to Twitter on 15th July to announce that it will be bringing the Huawei Honor 9N to India. As confirmed by the company, the phone will launch on the 24th of July. Previous speculations suggested that the phone would launch under the name of Honor 9i. This name could have created a little confusion in the market. There is already a Huawei phone with the name Honor 9i which launched back in October 2017. Here is the tweet by the company.

Amidst speculation, not much about the Honor 9N is confirmed. The only confirmation we got was for the design. The smartphone follows the same design pattern as its predecessor, the Honor 9 Lite.

Honor 9 Lite

Huawei has been focussing on integrating AI in its smartphones and we could expect the trend to continue with the 9N as well. The Honor 9N may feature the company’s latest GPU Turbo update. This update, as the company claims, improves the gaming performance by 60% while reducing battery consumption by 30%. Unlike the Honor 9 Lite, this smartphone may feature a notch-display. This could mean that Huawei might go with a 19:9 aspect ratio for the Honor 9N. The smartphone may not compromise with its bezels and have a similar almost bezel-less display as the Honor 9 Lite or the Honor 9.

Several tweets by the company show that the Honor 9N will feature a dual rear-camera mounted horizontally. Below the camera setup, sits the fingerprint sensor.

The Chinese manufacturer uses its own chipsets for its smartphones named, Kirin. Such may be the case for the Huawei Honor 9N as well. The Honor 9 Lite had a Kirin 659 chipset, so we can expect similar if not better chipset for the Honor 9N.

Huawei has not confirmed the price segment at which this smartphone is aimed. Regardless, we speculate that it will be a budget-friendly smartphone. We are closely monitoring the Honor 9N news and will keep you updated with the same. So stay tuned to iGyaan.
