Honor 9 Lite Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Prateek Pandey]()
Verdict
Priced at Rs 10,999, the 3GB RAM variant of the Honor 9 Lite is an absolute steal, given that in this price bracket, no other option gives you an 18:9 display (a very capable one at that) and quad cameras.The latter shoot decent photos and the smartphone offers a solid battery life too. Also, the 9 Lite is the best-looking smartphone in the budget segment in my opinion, and the device should turn heads every time you take it out of your pocket. However, the 4GB RAM variant of the smartphone doesn`t seem as compelling, since it has been priced at Rs 14,999, which is a huge margin for a small bu...

What's similar?

As I mentioned previously, the Honor 9 Lite draws parallels to its siblings in terms of most of its core specifications. Therefore, before I list everything new that the smartphone brings to the table, let me address the similarities between the 9 Lite and Honor's other offerings namely the 7X and the 9i.

What's different?
+
The 9 Lite is, in more ways than one, a unique offering from Honor. While the smartphone shares the same innards as the 7X and the 9i, from the outside, the 9 Lite couldn't be any more different. The handset has been constructed using a blend of metal and glass which paves way for a stunning design, though on the flip side, it does gather fingerprints and smudges. As far as the in-hand feel is concerned, I have to give props to Honor for designing one of the most ergonomic smartphones I've used till date. The 9 Lite nestles really well in the palms, thanks to the rounded finish of its metal trim and since the device employs glass instead of metal, the smartphone won't weigh your hand down either.
