Honor 9N with 5.84-inch notched display and dual rear cameras goes on sale in India

Last week, Huawei sub-brand Honor launched the Honor 9N in India. The Honor 9N isn’t any new smartphone though. It’s actually the Honor 9i (2018) that was launched in China earlier last month. The Honor 9N is priced at ₹11,999 for the base model, and, starting today, it’s now available for purchase in India.

The Honor 9N is now available for purchase in India through Flipkart as well as Honor India’s website. The Honor 9N comes in three different configurations – 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, and, 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage. The 32 GB storage variant is priced at ₹11,999, 64 GB at ₹13,999, and, 128 GB at ₹17,999. However, at press time, only the 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage variant is available for purchase, with other variants gone out of stock.

The Honor 9N sports a 5.84-inch IPS display that has aspect ratio of 19:9, resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels, and of course, a notch up top. The front and back of the 9N is covered with 2.5D curved glass. In fact, Honor says that it has used 12 layers of nano glass coating at the back to achieve mirror-like effect.

Under the hood, the Honor 9N comes with Kirin 659 SoC running the show, and, it boots up to Android 8.0 Oreo which is layered with EMUI 8.0 custom Android skin atop. The Honor 9N will also be getting GPU Turbo through an OTA update. For those unaware, GPU Turbo is a graphics processing acceleration technology that improves the graphics performance of a smartphone by 60% while reducing the power consumption by 30%.
