Key Features of Honor 9i

Design - The fashion icon

Honor 9i is encased in a slim body sized to fit your hand and comes in a delightful range of stunningly colorful reflective glass designs. The device is crafted with 12 layers of 2.5D glass on both the front and back for a mirror-like effect.

The more compact design has a bigger, customizable Notch display. Its 5.84" screen is set within a rounded body that would traditionally feature a 5.2" screen. Consumers will be pleased to discover they can now switch freely between the bigger 19:9 Notch View and 18:9 FullView displays and still maintain a large field of vision while gaming or watching their favorite TV shows and movies.

Camera - The beauty magnifier

The 16MP ISO-enhanced front camera sets a new standard for taking selfies in low-lit environments. The 4-in-1 light fusion function intelligently enhances the sensitization, reducing image noise and producing clearer and, therefore, more attractive self-portraits.

The 13MP + 2MP dual-lens rear camera is enabled with Wide Aperture function and is supported by a suite of camera modes to record the wonderful moments in your daily life.

Performance - Beauty and the beast
