Honor 9i (Rs 17,999) was a initial smartphone with a four-camera complement that arrived in India final year. To daub into a mid-price shred with a same USP, Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has launched Honor 9 Lite, starting during Rs 10,999.

The device is in a approach quarrel with Oppo A83 (Rs 13,990) and Samsung Galaxy On7 Prime (Rs 12,990) that were launched on a same day, Jan 17.

Let us see what works for a device.
Bearing a distinguished similarity to a iPhone 8, Honor 9 Lite looks overwhelming with a cosmetic frame, sandwiched between 2.5D-curved eyeglasses during a front and back.

The mirror-like potion during a behind has some-more insurgency opposite smudges when compared to other devices.

It comes with a 5.65-inch full-HD+, bezel-less arrangement with an 18:9 aspect ratio in a 5.2-inch shade form factor, giving additional work space to users.

The shade is identical to a arrangement judgment by Samsung sans a winding edges that a South Korean hulk has in a reward devices.

Honor 9 Lite sports a 13MP quad-camera set-up, Phase-Detection AutoFocus (PDAF) and modernized wide-aperture mode.

As distant as a camera opening is concerned, a device offering a rather churned performance. The beauty effects in selfies and portraits came out good during times.

The Beautify underline generally worked well. The face outlines dead and a skin had a soothing tinge to it while clicking selfies. It took a separate second to routine a picture and a outlay was good too.

In a Portrait mode, accessible in both front and behind cameras (13MP+2MP), a “bokeh” outcome was glorious notwithstanding a device not being a reward smartphone.

With “bokeh”, we could also indicate out edges that were not meant to be confused out.

The Portrait mode did work wonders for a back cameras and we had improved final images.

The device is powered by 16nm Kirin 659 Octa-core processor that runs it smoothly. The Kirin chip delivered seamless performance.

Even with a four-camera system, we did not find any loiter while operative with several apps concurrently in a background.

The user interface has had a teenager facelift with new EMUI 8.0 that runs Android 8.0 Oreo. The new interface is also claimed to have Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities that are not accessible in this device during a moment.

Since Honor 9 Lite has a lighter chronicle of EMUI 8.0, there was no impact on a altogether performance.

The smartphone has a 3,000mAh battery that gave us a day-long energy with assuage use, including surfing and video information consumption.

What doesn’t work?
Although a camera outlay was good, a Beautify choice did modifying to an border that a images seemed roughly feign compared to a original.

The cosmetic framework sandwiched between a potion is an unwelcome underline — dump your device and it’s left for good.

Conclusion: For Rs 10,999 (32GB variant), a device with a four-lens complement works perfectly. If we are a complicated user, we can opt for a 64GB model.
