Honor 9

Honor 9 review: High-end flavour at a sensible price makes this upstart a sensible alternative to the Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6 for many.

Very good value ; Striking high-quality design ; Lots of storage and features

Camera just OK in low light ; Unremarkable battery life

The Honor 9 has dua cameras on the back linked together as a team, and as usual there’s a single selfie camera on the front.

Honor 9 review

Lacking innovation, but still a great buy

Attractive design ; Affordable price ; Great performance

One speaker driver ; No optical image stabilization ; Heavy bezel

The Honor 9 offers a lot of what the high-end flagship phones do right now, but for a much lower price. There’s no exciting, headline-grabbing feature here, but a great design, fantastic performance and lots of nice touches make this an all-round...

Honor 9 review

The fully-featured Honor 9 has the price to match the attention-grabbing style

Eye-catching design ; Responsive performance ; Expandable storage ; Multi-functional dual cameras ; Excellent feature set

1080p screen looks overly sharp ; Music lacks finesse ; No waterproofing ; Shiny finish is all too easy to scratch ; EMUI Android customisations are a little cumbersome

With features you’d expect from a more expensive phone, the Honor 9 has usurped OnePlus as the de facto high-end smartphone for anyone on a budget - even if overall performance is good rather than great.

Honor 9 review: A mid-range marvel

The Honor 9 is a siren in the mid-range phone market. Its eye-catching design is paired with highly capable performance for a price point that, in the

A striking design makes it standout from the crowd for the right reasons ; Great performance given the price point makes it the mid-range phone to buy

Graphics aren’t always 100 per cent smooth ; Some repeat alerts can get annoying ; Finish can scratch too easily

The Honor 9 is a siren in the mid-range phone market. Its eye-catching design is paired with highly capable performance for a price point that, in the context of 2017, undercuts the OnePlus 5 by a sizeable enough margin to leave the Honor in a field of...

Honor 9 review

The best sub-£400 phone in the world - no contest

Top performance ; Flashy design and quality build ; Outstanding price

Ordinary battery life ; Camera struggles in poor light

High-end hardware at a middleweight price makes the Honor 9 one of the best phone deals around

Honor 9 Review: Watch out, OnePlus

At just £380 in the UK, is the Honor 9 really the affordable mobile we've all been waiting for? We find out.

Great battery life ; Smooth performer ; Compact and shiny ; Smart software

Fragile back ; Jittery video

The Honor 9 is a great-value handset that offers a similar flagship experience to most other premium phones, yet with a greatly reduced asking price. Sure, you don’t get any jazzy HDR visuals or a ridiculously sharp Quad HD screen – and most users...

Huawei Honor 9 review

(Rating Hidden)

The Huawei Honor 9 has a generous spec for the price. It offers a plentiful 64GB of on-board storage, and it's slim - but does it speed or trundle through tasks, and will it last the day before losing life? Our full review reveals whether this could be...

Honor 9 review: A fabulous phone that's now only £300

The Honor 9 looks like a phone twice the price, so where's the catch?

There’s a dearth of smartphones in the sub £400 bracket, and the Honor 9 fills the space nicely. It’s more powerful than the modular Moto Z2 and the Samsung Galaxy A5, and looks like a handset that costs twice the price.
