Introducing one of the early iPhone X notch android smartphone to hit the market from Leagoo. The League S9 which at first through its name suggests to be similar to the Samsung Galaxy S9 but, however, leans towards the iPhone X by sporting a notch along with structural similarities. To be candid, this is not in any form close to the aforementioned flagships has it only comes with more budget specs. Making it far more cheaper and acquirable by low budget spenders.

Design and Display
Like I mentioned earlier, the smartphone has a notched display and a protruding camera module a t the top left corner of the rear panel, two features peculiar to the IPhone X. Unlike the Apple flagship, the screen doesn’t extend all the way to the bottom with a little bezel in the way. Made from a mix of plastic and metal, the smartphone can sure pass as a well built smartphone. Besides, the smartphone comes with a 3.5mm audio jack which is absent in the iPhone X.
Being a budget smartphone, the smartphone does not have much in the area of display resolution with just an HD+ screen to get by. This leaves you with a display that has 1512 X 720 pixels and a decent viewing angle. As mentioned earlier, there are reduced bezels around the screen plus the smartphone also comes with an 18:9 aspect ratio.
Battery and Camera
For battery power, the smartphone comes with a 3, 300mAh juice keeping your smartphone on all day which totally depends on how usage is. At the end, the smartphone can be charged using fast charge technology which gives you more charge in less time with a MicroUSB port instead of the USB Type-C port in vogue.
One of the most often checked features of a smartphone is its camera. The Leagoo S9 has got you covered in this area, with a dual camera pasted at the back and a single capable one up front. There is a 13MP primary camera assisted by a 2MP camera on the rear side for more depth. On the selfie front, the smartphone provides you with an 8MP camera with flash included.
Hardware and Software
At the core of things, the Leagoo S9 has a fairly powerful MediaTek SoC in place making sure everything goes well. This includes an Octa-core MediaTek MT6750T processor with a maximum clockspeed of 1.5Ghz with an ARM Mail-T860 MP2 GPU for sorting graphics out.
The above is combined with 4GB of RAM and 32GB storage space built-in alongside a memory card slot for expansion up to 128GB. On the other hand, it also does well in the software area running the latest Android 8.1 Oreo from the factory.
