The smartphone expresses most of its beauty from its frontal appearance with the noticeable top notch. The presence of the top-notch coupled with the bezel-less design ensures the device gets as much as 79.5% screen-to-body ratio. That said, there’s the appearance of the “honor” emblem at both at the bottom bezel and the rear’s bottom region. Positioned at the top left corner, the dual camera adds aesthetics to the rear. And there’s the fingerprint scanner mounted at the back for security and a couple of other interesting functions.
The clarity of view delivered by the 1080 x 2280 pixels on the 5.84-inch display of this smartphone is impeccable. Not that alone, it also enjoys the expansive nature of the Infinity 19:9 aspect ratio. Well, if you’re the exclusive display type, this could just be what you’ve been waiting for.
Battery and CameraHuawei Honor 9i captures images from the rear with not only one, but two cameras. The cameras have the 13MP and 2MP sensors to coordinate the image capturing as well as video recording functions. A LED flash is present to provide brightness when the rear cameras are to be used in the dark. At the top notch, there’s the quality 16MP camera with 2.0µm pixel size that takes the selfie shots. Exciting features such as phase detection autofocus (PDAF), geo-tagging, touch focus, HDR, panorama and face detection are available to add spice to the photography department of the phone.
The duration of the smartphone rests on the shoulders of the non-removable Li-Po 3,000mAh battery. Through the conventional microUSB 2.0, the battery gets charged at average speed. Also, the phone can be used to charge other devices thanks to the USB OTG aboard.
Hardware and SoftwareUnder the hood, the HiSilicon Kirin 659 SoC controls the key smartphone functions. It possesses eight cores that clock at 1.7GHz, but can turbo up to 2.36GHz for rapid operations. Gaming, as well as graphics, generally is taken care of by the Mali-T830 MP2 GPU.
In the software unit, the Android Oreo OS spearheads the operations. However, the Emotion UI 8.0 brings the Huawei experience on the smartphone to a different level. The smooth running of apps can be well attributed to the effectiveness of the 4GB RAM. Meanwhile, you can choose either 64GB or 128GB for your file storage space. Either way, a memory card can be used to boost the storage to 256GB.
Huawei Honor 9i Price and AvailabilityThe Huawei Honor 9i is available in colours Black, Blue, Purple and Lime. The smartphone costs within the range of 90,000 to 100,000 naira depending on your location.

Just as Chinese smartphones have taken the trendy iPhone X top-notch design to heart, Huawei Honor Play also embraces the feature with open arms. In that stead, the display is well stretched to relay a cute bezel-less design. The smartphone’s well-curved edges and the aluminium body frame also make the device appealing. On the flip side, the dual rear cameras are placed in a horizontal alignment with the LED flash. On the right-hand side, the volume rocker and power button are located to perform their respective functions.
To present excellent display quality, a 6.3-inch IPS screen is availed on the device. The display’s crispness is done justice to by the 1080 x 2340 pixels as well as 409PPI pixel density. With that in place, the device makes use of an advanced Infinity aspect ratio of 19.5:9 ad 83% screen-to-body ratio to bring out the best of media output.
Battery and CameraThe battery life of the smartphone is top class due to the 3,750mAh battery present. With fast charging technology included, the smartphone wastes no time in charging up fast.
In the camera unit, specifically the rear region, two cameras of 16MP and 2MP qualities are in place. The cameras are capable of recording videos at a classy 2160@30fps resolution. Other than that, there’s the LED flash that provides brightness in low light areas. Also, the selfie camera performs its duties with a tight 16MP shooter. This shooter has a f/2.0 aperture and records videos at 1080p@30fps.
Hardware and SoftwareNo room is left for complacency as the Kirin 970 AI chipset stands up to the task. The chipset carries an octa-core CPU of 2.4GHz speed as well as Mali-G72 MP12 GPU. Regarding the graphics coordination, the state-of-the-art Mali-G72 MP12 GPU is more than reliable. In line with the performance of the smartphone, you can choose between a 4GB RAM and 6GB RAM to handle multitasking functions. The internal storage has a 64GB capacity to store up files, and it can also be expanded to 256GB with the aid of a microSD card. However, the second SIM will have to pave way for the memory card.
Conclusively, the software administration is left in the hands of the Android Oreo OS. The user experience on the device is magnified by the Huawei EMUI 8.2.
