Incredibly low quality photos in the night. Of course, when you have a 2.2 main camera and 1.9 secondary camera. Why, why, why?!

Why not the dual camera design in the word "honor", I mean the double "o" can be the dual camera, otherwise dual camera is really ugly to me.

Anonymous, 11 Jul 2017The difference is in the PRICE, djeez.Its obvious u know that right? Thats why I never say the price because both are almost the same but cheaper with the HUAWEI HONOR 9. This is why HUAWEI suck. Release flagships almost same specs but just bring down the price. For me I don't care the price of a smartphone. I just buy any flagship mostly from the very high end premium price ones. I don't care. So HUAWEI shouldn't care for that. The price is already low, why not improve the hardware
Abhi D, 08 Jul 2017While this review tries hard to make Honor 9 sound like a better deal than it is, and look One... moreHonor 8's gpu is faster than e.g. galaxy S5 which started this 5,x" trend. And that phone can still be used adequately today. The Honor 9's gpu is about 3 times faster so what's wrong with that?
The cpu's inside these Honor's is considerably faster then many if not most phones that cost a lot more.
Then these IPS screens used in these phones are really good. Why do you exaggerate the loss of 0.05 inch? You can't even see the difference IRL.
Then your remark about audio which contradict the review/test which literally states: "..All in all, the readings remain very good to excellent..." and as for the Honor 8 its review starts with "...Audio clarity is perfectly clear, nicely loud..." Sure we, end-users, would have liked a system wide equaliser on the Honor 8 but that is rectified with the Honor 9. Again why complain?
Also please stop exaggerating the importance of Android upgrades. The Honor 8 has Android 7 with Emui 5.0 while the new one has the same Android but with Emui 5.1. You can't even see the difference between the 2. In fact I still run the Honor 8's Android 6 with Emui 4.1 which looks the same apart from the app-drawer. Sure, the colours of the notification quick toggles is cyan instead of blue. So what? I couldn't care less for "app twin" and the main functionality between Android 6/Emui4.x is mostly the same. You can make a theme with blue toggles and stick Nova or any other launcher for an app drawer. Also the UI looks great, adheres to Material design (which I personally dislike) and can be customised completely with themes. So if you find Emui 4.x/5.x "old looking" then I wonder what you expect?
In fact I think both the Honor 8 and 9 are great devices with good specs and no misleading or false promises. It even has kept the audio-jack AND Ir-blaster which everybody was keen to add in the past but then took away after users got accustomed to it. And they both have a very reasonable retail price unlike everyone else whom charges near and sometimes even over 900 euro's. Which is completely ridiculous.
xXENDER FREAKXx, 08 Jul 2017I am still disappointed with HUAWEI even though I never used them before because I used XPERIA... moreThe difference is in the PRICE, djeez.
nice phone, but that fingerprintscanner is horrid. Sam and Apple remove it from the front just so huawei and oneplus bring it back to the front...that piggy nose I hate deeply.
Anonymous, 10 Jul 2017Funny how they're praising its power, even though flagships with S820 chips back from the prev... moreThat power is gigaflops but in the reality the Adreno 530 has a weaker performance than the Mali-G71 MP8 at 1037MHz of frequency inside of Hisilicon Kirin 960. Remember that the Kirin 960 gpu has 282 GFlops which is better than the gpu inside of the Exynos 8890 which has a gpu with 265 GFlops.
Funny how they're praising its power, even though flagships with S820 chips back from the previous year have twice as powerful GPUs.

It does not. Similar as OP - proprietary charger. Which is slower than OP's.

Only till HUAWEI MATE 10 they will use the HiSilicon Kirin 970. And that is going to take some time just look, 4 flagships with the same chipsets
xXENDER FREAKXx, 09 Jul 2017They have been using this chipset for so many flagships. What? u want it again?Remember one thing, only the Mate line is that start the use of new chipsets of Huawei and when the Mate 10 be released is when they put a new chipset, the Kirin 970.

I think honor should be only midranges, while high ends carry huawei's logo
I was disappointed to see that that the screen to body ratio is even worse than that of the Honor 8. Battery life is great, as it already is on my Honor 8. Camera is exceptional. If you can neglect huge bezels and prefer Android over iOS, this phone is a great choice for its price.
This phone anytime over the OnePlus 5.
