The Honor 9 Lite was already announced for two
markets: India, and Honor's home market of China. Today, Honor announces that
the quad-camera phone will become available in Western European markets
starting today.
The Honor 9 Lite is doing very well in China as
"the best budget phone with stunning design and remarkable photography
functions." It is also going very well in India, the phone sold out all
three times it went on sale on Flipkart.
The Honor 9 Lite features a quad-camera system
(13MP+2MP on both sides), further solidifying the trend of smartphones with
dual selfie cameras. The Honor 9 Lite has a new 18:9 5.65-inch FullView display
with thinned top and bottom bezels. The phone is powered by Huawei's own
HiSilicon Kirin 659 - the same CPU found in the Honor 7X.
George Zhao, President of Honor adds "Honor
will grow further from out solid success in the China market, and deepen our
role as the though leader in global markets. We aim to become a top-five
smartphone brand by 2020."
The back of the phone features a nano-scale optical
coating that makes the phone glisten and reflect light to coincide with the
Honor 9's ultra-shiny glass back plate. The phone ships with Android Oreo with
a 3GB + 32GB memory configuration and will be arriving to Germany, Italy,
Spain, France, and the UK for € 229 and you can order one from Honor's website
right away. There are three color options: Midnight Black, Sapphire Blue, and
Glacier Grey.
