Honor 9N Expert Review Summary

Verdict
Considering that the Honor 9N is among the very few handsets in the budget segment that offer a notch design and provide an impressive display quality, the handset presents itself as a compelling option. However, the camera performance offered by the smartphone serves as a letdown and might be a dealbreaker for many. Some of the other handsets like the Realme 1 (review) and ASUS Zenfone Max Pro M1 (review) pose an incredible challenge with a comparatively better processors and performance in the same price range. As the 9N gets some of the small but important features (like the face unlock) ri...

- Camera performance is a letdown
Design and display
+
The Honor 9N is one of the most affordable smartphones available with notch display design in the market right now. Interestingly, the new Honor handset also comes with a fingerprint sensor at the back, a feature missing on the OPPO A3s, which is the other affordable offering with a similar design. The 9N ships with a glass design at the back, which is definitely a fingerprint magnet but looks good nevertheless. The dual camera is placed in horizontal orientation on top-left and is assisted by an LED flash. Thankfully, Honor is among the few brands that can manage to pull off a dual camera module design without any noticeable bump at the back.

The 9N packs a dual-camera setup on the back with a 13-megapixel camera and a 2-megapixel secondary shooter. At the front, you are greeted by a 16-megapixel sensor. Using the default camera app with the rear camera, you get the option to enable wide aperture, portrait mode, and moving picture mode along with flash controls right up front. By swiping left, you get to the settings panel, where you can choose various options including GPS tag, image resolution, assistive grid, timer, audio control (allows you to click pictures by saying cheese or by analysing voice levels), and object tracking among others.

Software and performance
+
The 9N runs Android 8.0 Oreo-based EMUI 8.0 out of the box. If you have used any other phone from Honor recently, the Honor 9N offers a similar experience. There are a few pre-installed apps including HiCare, Honor Club, Truecaller, and Netflix among others.

Battery
+
The new budget segment offering from Honor houses a 3,000mAh battery. Just two years back, this would have classified as an impressive aspect about the handset but currently, there are many smartphones in the price range that offer better capacity. We had to recharge the Honor 9N by the end of the day with regular use. To provide further perspective, in our HD video loop test, the smartphone managed to last around 12 hours. In short, if you plan to head out on a trip with the Honor 9N, it would be a wise idea to carry along a power bank.
