The Honor 9i has a smaller 5.84” screen with the
same aspect ratio and resolution (19:9, 1,080 x 2,280 px). It is powered by a
Kirin 659 chipset, which also features GPU Turbo tech, making it suitable for
gamers on a smaller budget.
Specifically, CNY 1,400 (US$ 220/€ 185) for the 4 GB /
64 GB model, but there’s one with 128 GB storage (same amount of RAM) for CNY

Jasper and Magic Night Black color options.
The Honor 9i has a 13 MP + 2 MP dual camera on its
back with Portrait mode and a 16 MP front camera with AI-powered selfie
enhancements and face unlock. The 9i will launch with the older Android 8.0
Oreo and EMUI 8.0 out of the box. It has a 3,000 mAh battery.
