The Huawei Honor 9 Lite is back at TENAA, and this
time it left little to the imagination. After the photos from yesterday, comes
a list of all key specs. The phone has a 5.65” screen with 18:9 aspect ratio
and 1080p+ resolution, making it a slightly more compact alternative to the
Honor 7X and Mate 10 Lite. It’s an LCD by the way, AMOLED seems reserved for
the Pro line.
The good news is that the Honor 9 Lite runs Android
8.0 Oreo out of the box. It comes with 3GB/32GB memory as base and there’s an
upscale 4GB/64GB version. The chipset is unnamed, but the CPU specs seem to
match the Kirin 659.
The trademark feature of the phone – the 4 cameras –
breaks down as follows: both the main and the selfie setups are 13MP + 2MP (not
20MP+2MP, that part of the rumors was wrong). Video is capped at 1080p,
probably a limitation of the chipset.
A few final specs to round things off: 7.6mm
thickness, 2,900mAh battery, microSD slot. TENAA isn’t too diligent about
things like USB type or the 3.5mm jack, but the manual from yesterday can
answer those questions: microUSB and yes on the jack.
