Honor 9

Advantages: - battery life
- sensor sensitivity
- screen brightness
- performance

Disadvantages: for myself no obvious flaws found

Comment: This is my first Asian phone. I was afraid to take. Long chose, studied reviews, reviews. No, no, yes, a review of any problems will flash.
And I am very pleased with the choice made. I can not call myself a demanding consumer, but I really liked Honor 9. No complaints about the build quality. Beautiful design, comfortable in the hand (but it is subjective, probably, the fifth iPhone after it seems like a toy :)). A good color rendition, a bright screen, very responsive sensors - for me it was one of the most important indicators - it infuriates when the phone doesn’t react to touch the first time.
The battery pleases - with an average intensity of use - 5-7 calls per day, social networks, some music, a bit of Internet surfing - quite enough for two days. In nature, they listened to the radio through the mobile Internet at almost full volume - enough for 6 hours at the initial charge level of ~ 80%. And the Fast Charge function is just fire - from charging from the kit, the phone is fully charged in less than an hour.
About the sound and the camera - I'm not a professional. For my amateur requests, both give a quality sufficient for me to say that I like it, it suits me.
In the reviews I met complaints about the convenience of the EMUI shell - I can not agree. I do not feel any discomfort from use. Basically, everything is familiar and native. No super strange groupings of icons or settings in an unexpected place.+ its nice gadgets such as the ability to open two applications on the screen at once.
Performance is also cool. I don’t indulge in games so much that I can’t say how the phone behaves on some super-voracious applications, But for a gentleman’s set à la messengers, social networks, mail, office, reading rooms, toys “play in the transport” resources above the roof. No hint of dullness, everything is fast, decent and peaceful. I, too, have enough memory with my head even without a card: out of 64GB in the database, it is free around 40GB.
So I can safely recommend this phone)

Advantages: 1. Design. He is great and really attracts the eye.
2. Camera. Chose Honor 9 mainly because of her. I am a fan of mobile photography and for the same amount (25,000 rubles) I could not find a better model. Various modes allow you to make high-quality photos. Many do not believe that my photos I do on a smartphone. With the help of a tripod so generally a fairy tale. Since the second module is monochrome in the dark, it also takes great pictures. Before him was Huawei Nova, the difference is significant. Although there is not much difference during the day. But the second module allows you to blur the background beautifully, which is why many people think that I photographed with a camera. Video quality is also pleasing. An order of magnitude better than in Nova. Front in good light makes very high-quality photos.
3. A variety of modules, namely NFC, (I used to pay with a smartphone and did not consider the model without an NFC), although if it hadn’t, Honor should have been ashamed of that kind of money. Infrared control technology, a trifle, but nice. Sometimes helps out
4. The fingerprint scanner is very smart on the smartphones of this company, this is already well known. And the control of one button is much more convenient than the three
5. The amount of memory. 64GB You can not worry about the lack of
6. Fast charging. The battery certainly sets records, lasting no more than a day. But it charges very quickly.
7. EMUI shell. For me, it is done. Naked Android, I absolutely can not stand. And EMUI brings aesthetic pleasure. And it is pretty smart and well optimized. When exactly because of her I drew attention to the smartphones of this company.
8. Oh yes, the processor! He is of course very powerful. Right very much. But I don’t play games and I don’t keep running more than 2 or 3 applications, so I almost forgot that it is also a virtue of a smartphone

Disadvantages: If it were a percent Snapdragon, the battery would have lasted longer. Principle I have enough for a day and all right.
Lack of optical stabilization. But it can be understood otherwise the flagship of the company Huawei P10 would be no one needs.

Comment: Great smartphone. Fully fulfills every penny. Principle is all that is needed.
This would be OIS and moisture protection, and it would be ideal, but it would cost more.

Advantages: The design itself is admirable, the impression that you are holding a flagship phone. The combination of metal and glass
The presence of NFC, 3.5 mm jack and USB Type C.
A great camera that takes great daytime shots, the aperture effect (bokeh) is cool under certain conditions. Different Modes: Pro, Aperture Effect, Scanner, 3D Models and more.
Front camera 8 megapixel average quality.
There is a built-in photo editor, which is similar in functionality to the two Adobe Photoshop mobiles. You can make a simple color correction, change the skin tone, narrow the face or figure, and so on.
Shooting 4K video!
On board 64 GB, even though the android itself takes about 12 GB, this is enough for the eyes to work in applications (social networks and messengers). You can buy a microSD!
Fast charging, really fast.
4 GB of RAM allows you to run applications without lags.
It's convenient for me when the fingerprint scanner is in front and it works fast!
Very loud when calling, you will always hear it!
There is an interesting headphone EQ!
Color rendering quality!
Mode "Protection of sight", it can be programmed by the time of day!
The presence of IR - it is convenient to control the TV through the built-in Virtual Remote app.

Disadvantages: It is difficult to find suitable covers that size, then the size is larger, then the camera closes. Also, the problem with the search for protective glass, then you can not guess the size, I do not advise RedLine, the frame from Aceline does not match the color!
Equalizer does not work with Bluetooth!
The camera makes excellent shots with dexterity, since there is no optical stabilization and in low light conditions it makes noise in automatic modes, in Pro mode you can shoot with a long shutter speed. With a photo it is necessary to inhabitants to get acquainted with concepts of an exposition and other.
The "Profi (photo)" mode is deprived of the exposure scale to initially determine the exposure.
In the application Flashlight there is not enough light power adjustment.

Comment: For your money, it's awesome sweetie! I do not regret my money, it is unreal cool!
Better than him only phones above the price with a gap of several thousand!

Advantages: The speed of the interface. Glitch-free, whr and fingerprint.
All types of communication are available, including NFC and IR port. There are 7 and 20 frequency.
Powerful GSM module, connection is more stable compared to Lenovo Vibe Shot.
It is an adequate price for the device.

Disadvantages: The reviews talked a lot about the exterior design, found nothing transcendental. It is not very convenient to hold in your hand without a cover. Slides on any inclined surface. The native case does not fix the situation much. In short, I put on a good cover and it became better.

Comment: Good machine. Quality - the price is slightly above average. Opportunities like the flagship models. If you do not sit in it all the time, then just enough for a day. When I always have wi-fi on, 1 hour of talking, 1 hour of Votsappa, Mail - about 10 messages, 30-40 minutes of talk, 15 minutes Yandex maps from 8-00 to 19-00 discharged from 100% to 60%. I think this is a great autonomy.

Advantages: Speed, assembly, camera, jack 3.5, NFC, memory card slot

Disadvantages: The disadvantage, in fact, like all modern smartphones is the glass case. When the device falls, you will have to change not only the screen, but also the back glass cover.

Comment: I have been using it for a month now, so the review will not be spontaneous.
Ordered in the official store at a slightly inflated price, but as a gift I received wireless headphones and a wireless monopod-tripod.
The set includes a transparent hard case, which perfectly helps to keep the back cover from scratches until you buy a more aesthetic case or bumper. The back cover is very easily scratched and smeared with prints!
For work, personally, I have no complaints. All the applications I need open and work stably and quickly, nothing crashes. Some people write that the apparatus is heated in them, but I did not notice any heat, which would cause discomfort. In tests and heavy toys, the body becomes a little warm, but I would not complain about it. I liked the full EQ, which works with wired headphones and speakers.
Operating time from a single battery charge, personally, I, varies from 18 to 30 hours. It all depends on the operating conditions of the smartphone.
The camera is worthy of a smartphone for its price. No need to compare it with flagships such as Pixel 2, Iphone X, etc. For a smartphone for 20-25 tr. This is a really good and high-quality camera!
The undoubted advantage of the device is the presence of 3.5 jack and a slot for memory expansion. For daily work, 64 GB is enough for the eyes, but if you need to download several seasons of your favorite TV shows, several albums of your favorite artists (thanks to VK) and leave the captured photo-video and maps for the navigator, then expanding the internal memory will save you from connecting external drives.
Total. The Honor 9 developers ideally hit the price-performance criteria, making the P10 a more affordable machine. The smartphone is great for everyday work, social networks and toys without compromise. If you need a workhorse that will not become obsolete within 2-3 years, then Honor 9 will suit you.

Advantages: 1. Beautiful!
Design at height.Smart looks really cool, especially the back panel. It is a pity to close the cover, so I put a transparent bumper that comes in the kit. My gray is just like a silver bar in my hand. Blue spouse - shimmers very effectively.
2. Smart.
I compare with Honor 7 Premium - all applications start up faster and run very smoothly and quickly. 4 gigabytes of operatives and a good percentage play a significant role.
3. Juicy display.
Very bright colors, I like that with this design the screen matches. For those who like quieter, there are multiple settings where you can mute juiciness.
4. Android 7 on board.
It takes 12 gigs out of 64. It differs from 6 in any small additions of chips. New curtain with a large number of icons, built-in antivirus, built-in optimization and no longer need Clean Master with its ads. Very conveniently handled by notifications on a locked screen - you can manage without unlocking.
5. Good front camera 8 Mp.
Worthy selfie shots, there are all kinds of improvements for fans. I am one of those who need only to press the shutter button and it is necessary that the pictures were fire. Here it is.
6. Practically not heated.
There is warmth when you load smart to the fullest. But there is no such thing that is straight hot.
7. Very fast charging.
From 10% to 100% charges in 1 hour 10 minutes. This is more than enough. When you do not have time to sit at the charge for 3 hours, for example, I came somewhere to work for an hour. I put it on charge and by the time I left it was already full battery. That's cool.
8. Good to the touch.
In the hand is very nice. Such a weighty, powerful, metal, and it is combined with the appearance. Straight decent for men.

Disadvantages: 1. Marked case.
Yet the glass everywhere makes itself felt. If there is no cover, and you don’t want to install it, then, especially in the heat, the case quickly becomes fingerprinted. On the screen also remain, as on other smarts, no more and no less. Here I think to find a silicone transparent bumper instead of what is included. The one that comes very quickly becomes scratched and the view deteriorates.
2. For girls it may seem like a heavy 155 gr. But the spouse does not complain. She was against the purchase when she found out that it was worth 27 thousand. And when she picked up the blue one in the cabin, turned it on, then after a few seconds she caught fire and wanted to - bought it.
3. At first the sound of the speaker seemed quiet.
But then it became clear that the sound is quite comparable with the others. Just do not yell. But for someone this will not be enough.
4. There are no flagship chips:
no wireless charging, although there is nfc; no otg support; no optical stabilization of the rear cameras (not critical, but I would like to); There is no smart button, as on Honor 7, and the chip was cool (the camera, the screenshot was hung on it); so far few, but solved.
5. The screen scale does not support 5x5.
In Honor 7, you can customize 5x5 tiles. Those. in the row you can fit 5 icons on the screen. And then 4x4 or 4x5. In this regard, when transferring a backup copy, the screen had to be rebuilt taking into account 4x5. This is just a minus.
6. As if the lack of Honor 7 was impossible to use 2 SIM cards and a memory card at the same time. A large internal memory of 64 GB solved the issue in part. I had 32 internal ones a little and a memory card for photos, videos and music / movies was needed. Now the internal 64 is enough, so you can use 2 sim cards. Of course, you can collective farm and stick a SIM card to the memory card, as they say on the Internet, but I do not want to bother.

Comment: Here I will write about what I personally like or dislike.
For example, quality of the camera, quality of pictures is enough for me. In the settings there are a bunch of modes from HDR, bokeh (blurring the background) to 3D images. Someone writes that it makes noise with artificial light. I do not notice.
Touch sensor moved forward. I will not say that this is better or worse, a matter of habit. Unlock with one hand without any problems: touch the side of your thumb and that's it. It is not necessary to touch the pad of your finger.
Funny made two hidden buttons left and right: Back and Applications in memory.Apparently, they want to disaccustom them to use, using only the Home button, as in iPhones. Anroid 7 and 4 gigabytes of memory allow you to not manually clear the memory. The volume is enough to keep in memory the latest applications without devouring the battery and without affecting the speed. And after a while, applications are unloaded from there by the system. Yes, and instantly exit the application with the home button is better than back, back, back, as is done out of habit. But there are unmarked buttons, highlighted by small barely noticeable dots, you can use.
I do not know why, but the backup copy in HiSuite with Honor 7 did not want to get up on Honor 9 from my wife. I have everything ok, it was transferred without problems immediately. And she has a recovery and does not load. As soon as he did not dance with a tambourine, but it did not work out. I had to manually retrieve the contacts and applications saved earlier. Maybe the problem is in the backup itself, but I tried to restore it in pieces, for example, only contacts, or only alarm clocks - it did not give.
Usb type c. For some, this is an advantage, but for me this is the first device on type c. I had to re-buy cables for work (to charge at work), for a portable battery (to charge when traveling). And they are not very cheap. And the old cables in a huge number of micro usb were no longer necessary. In addition, usb 2.0, which does not allow to use the full-speed type c, which supports the 3.1 format.

In general - Honor 9 is worth its 27 and they are not sorry! Recommend.

Advantages: Screen. Battery. Fingerprint sensor. Speed ​​performance. Design. Good photos. 64 GB of memory. Work 4G. Sound. Quickly charge your phone. Build quality. Bumper included.

Disadvantages: No optical stabilization, rear glass. Heavy with unaccustomed.

Comment: Screen, excellent color reproduction. The battery keeps the second day (calls, correspondence on VKontakte, surfing / From the Games I drove only in NFS No limits for an hour and a half), though I had to turn on the power saving mode, 9% left, 2 hours left, I think that's enough. to the house and the charger. The fingerprint sensor works flawlessly and instantly. The device itself is smart. I played only one toy, I did not notice the heating of the phone. Design for my taste is much prettier than the previous generation. Good photos. 64 GB of memory. 4G works with a bang, there were no problems yet. The sound during the conversation is loud and intelligible, I do not listen to music. About markostyu ... Included is a bumper. Yes, it is cheap, but putting it on, the question of the margins of the reverse side disappears, the bumper itself is transparent, it does not affect the design of the device as a whole. I ordered a cover on Ali, I'm waiting.
It is a pity that there is no optical stabilization, when I chose, I thought a normal photo would not work, I was pleasantly surprised, if my hands do not shake in a fit, the photo will turn out. Prior to this, the phone used SGS 4 mini black edition for 3 years, by the way, still alive, after it, Honor 9 seems big and heavy, all the time I’m afraid to drop it when I take it out of my pocket, I hope with a case it will be more comfortable.
I will sum up. I am very pleased with the device, honestly, I did not expect any quality from China, I doubted whether to take it. If someone is tormented by doubts, then just go to the salon, you need to touch this phone, twist it, compare it with others. I almost forgot, read some reviews about the graphics processor, which is installed in Honor 9.
