Huawei have been making timely rollout of smartphones to every level from budget to high-end. The Huawei Honor 9N falls squarely in the mid-range section with the specs it features. However, thr smartphone seems to be a variant of the Huawei Honor 9i released earlier as they both carry an identical spec sheet. Unlike the Honor 9i which was more of a China release, the Huawei Honor 9N is majorly for the Indian market. Nonetheless, let’s still have a look at the details of the features on the smartphone.

According to report from Huawei, the glass has 12 layers which gives you a nice reflective sheen when it catches light. There’s a notch at the front side and a significantly visible bezel at the bottom carrying the honor brand which defeats the purpose of the notch in the first place. At the back, there are two cameras standing side by side while the fingerprint reader is well placed towards the centre.
The screen is not bad at all for a mid-range smartphone featuring an appropriate size depending on your preference combined with crisp resolution. It comes with a 5.84-inch display alongside a fair brightness but a bit reflective in full sunlight. As for the resolution; it has 1080 X 2280 pixels that makes visuals clear and punchy.

Two cameras at the rear, a 13MP sensor and a 2MP depth sensor arranged horizontally at the edge accompanied by a flash. Over to the front, there is a 16MP camera for taking selfies with portrait mode and other nice features.
