Honor earlier this year introduced the ‘premium design’ to the budget segment with Honor 9 Lite, a phone with quad-cameras, FullView display and 2.5D glass on the back and front. Almost six months later, Honor has launched a newer variant of the model – Honor 9N.
Just like the predecessor, the new Honor phone bets big on the design and includes the trending notch display.

In addition to midnight black and sapphire blue, the smartphone also comes in two pretty colours of lavender purple and robin egg blue. The front of Honor 9N looks quite like the Honor 10 with its notch cutout and 19:9 aspect ratio.
Structurally, the smartphone is pretty light and easy to hold. The fingerprint sensor and controls like volume and power keys are within reach even for som
