Honor 9S
The Honor 9 series were incredibly popular when the phones made their debut in India because the colors and design offered by Honor in the range were unique and eye-catching, and the devices themselves offered amazing value for money. Honor got pushed to the back after that though, with Xiaomi, Realme, and smaller players like Nokia and Motorola stealing the spotlight as well. It seems like Honor is trying to win the favor of the masses again, but one is unsure if the Honor 9S really was the right choice. The new budget phone, which seems like it was waiting for a launch in 2017 before time froze, is quite outdated when compared to similarly priced peers today. This smartphone comes with a capacitive display measuring 4.5 inches across and offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels. A Helio P22 chipset under the hood manages computer tasks for the Honor 9S and you also get 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The phone sports a square camera module on the back with a single camera, an 8MP sensor. On the front, there is a 5MP camera for your video calls and selfies. The battery on the Honor 9S is a bit disappointing as well, since it has a capacity of just 3020mAh. Some of the popular Honor mobile phones include the Honor View 30 Pro, the Honor 9X, and the Honor View 30.
