Review of smartphones Honor 9A, 9C and 9S

The world famous brand Honor has launched a new line of three entry-level smartphones. Each of the gadgets is available at a reasonable price.

Often, choosing from a range of inexpensive phones, the user faces problems. After all, inexperience and ignorance can play a cruel joke - the purchased device will be outdated and unsuitable for modern use. And trying different gadgets to find "the same" will not work, tk. then it makes no sense to purchase a cheap device.

A pleasant little thing should be noted right away: the design of budget smartphones is almost completely consistent with the design of more expensive models. Appearance is not the determining factor in the price indicator now. A striking example is the Honor 9A, which has a glass back, where a variety of patterns shimmer attractively. The upper left corner pleases the eye with a rectangular camera module, just like the more expensive brand representative - Honor V30. The only thing that betrays the budget origin of the model is the fingerprint scanner, which is located on the back cover of the device, and is not integrated into the screen, as in top-end devices. Nevertheless, such a solution fits nicely into the overall picture and does not spoil the overall impression.

Characteristics table

Honor 9S

The first representative of the Honor 9S line. The processor used in the new product is called MediaTek MT6762R. It can often be found in much more expensive gadgets. Moreover, it is eight-core.

Memory Amount and Slots

The phone does not have much RAM, tk. its volume is only 2 GB. Speaking of storage, things are better here - 32 GB. If this is not enough space, then microSD cards are supported. Moreover, its use does not in any way affect the number of valid SIM cards. The slot is not hybrid, so everything has its place here.

basic information

The first noticeable drawback of the model is the lack of a fingerprint scanner. However, facial recognition is supported, which is fast enough, so it is not necessary to constantly enter a password to access the system.

The diagonal is not large, the picture resolution is optimal. The battery capacity is small, but standard for smartphones in this price segment - 3020 mAh. Nevertheless, the energy efficiency of the processor allows you to use the gadget all day long, thus compensating for the small battery capacity.

Software

If we consider other options, the cost of which does not exceed 7 thousand rubles, then it is difficult to find something approximate in terms of characteristics. Most of these models will run on ancient Android or run out of power after several hours of use. The software installed on the Honor 9S is one of the latest and is used in the flagship representatives of the brand. Simply put, the manufacturer tried to equip its development with everything necessary and at the same time keep the minimum cost.

Color scheme

The color variety can be called standard, because the device is available in three colors: black, red and blue. Matte plastic serves as a coating for the case. This solution is quite practical, since the material is not smudged.

• Low cost;
• Support for two SIM cards and memory card at the same time;
• Not a bad processor;
• Bracelet included;
• High quality coverage.

• Small battery capacity;
• Lack of a fingerprint scanner.

Honor 9A

This device can be called the older brother of the previous one. The device has three things that immediately set it apart from the rest. The first to attract attention is the bezelless 6.3-inch display. The back panel is decorated with an original holographic pattern, which the manufacturer often uses for much more expensive models. The device is equipped with a "wide" camera, in addition to the "regular" camera. This solution made it possible to shoot large objects, accommodating them entirely at close range. So, you can easily fit the whole room in one picture. Moreover, the user is given the opportunity to take portraits with beautiful background blur, for which the depth sensor built into the third module of the main camera is responsible.

Processor and memory sizes

The Honor 9A processor does not differ from the previous model, but the amount of memory has increased: 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. As in the previous model, a memory card is also supported here. Although the available memory should be sufficient for basic tasks, for some, support for memory cards can be a useful addition.

Battery capacity and options

The battery capacity has increased significantly here when compared to its predecessor. So, a 5000 mAh battery will last more than a day with intensive use. In addition, the user can "distribute" this energy, because the smartphone supports reverse charging using the OTG cable.

The phone has a built-in NFC module, which allows you to pay for purchases in stores and replenish the transport card using the device.

Music lovers will be surprised by another original solution that the developers have equipped the device with: owners of Honor 9A can listen to FM radio without using headphones. Often they play the role of an antenna, so they are necessary if you want to listen to tracks, but this model is already equipped from the beginning with an antenna that is built into the body. The manufacturer promises in the future to equip the gadget with support for Internet radio stations.

• Triple main camera module;
• Capacitive battery;
• Powerful processor;
• Affordable cost;
• Gift included in the form of a bracelet;
• Built-in antenna;
• Large amounts of memory;
• The ability to pay for purchases via the phone;
• Reverse charging support.

• Not found.

Honor 9С

Honor 9C is the older model of the presented line. The smartphone has everything that can be included in a model, the cost of which does not exceed 15,000 rubles. The first thing to pay attention to is the processor, which is not the same as in the previous versions. There is also more RAM: 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Memory cards are also supported.

Main advantages

Usually, buyers pay attention to three criteria when choosing: display, battery capacity and camera. It was on them that the developers focused.

The screen is frameless, the diagonal is not much superior to its predecessor, but, nevertheless, it is 6.39 inches.The front-end is embedded in the screen, so that annoying "bangs" is absent.

The main camera of the model consists of three modules, one of which acts as a wide-angle module, and the other as a depth sensor. The resolution of the main module was 48 megapixels. High definition shooting is possible, night shooting is supported.

Battery capacity

But the battery surprised, its capacity was 4000 mAh, which, as you can see, is less than that of the previous smartphone from the line. Nevertheless, this figure is considered the golden mean today. This battery is enough for the phone to play games for nine hours.

Color scheme

The color variety is small: blue and "midnight black". Both options feature a back panel with a beautiful holographic texture, which looks pretty attractive and immediately attracts attention.

• High resolution shooting;
• Affordable cost;
• Gift in the form of a bracelet;
• Front camera embedded in the screen;
• Nice design of the back cover;
• Large amounts of memory;
• High quality processor.

• The battery capacity is less than the previous model.

Generalization whether to pay attention to the ruler

All devices from the line are equipped with a micro-USB connector. Fans of flagship models may be surprised by such a decision of the developers. But practice shows once again that this adds convenience when using inexpensive gadgets.

What's really frustrating is the lack of pre-installed Google apps on the entire line. AppGallery is still present. You can find almost any common application in it, and "replenishment" occurs every day, expanding the range of offers.

Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that any presented model is fully consistent with its price. Comparing with other smartphones of the same level, it becomes clear that the manufacturer tried to please the audience as much as possible, "stuffing" his creation with everything possible. That is why the conclusion suggests itself that the purchase of this product will be a reasonable decision, which you will not have to regret later.
