Honor 9i featuring four cameras smartphone hits Indian market

Huawei's sub-brand Honor has launched its new smartphone Honor 9i in India. It is Honor's first smartphone with four cameras – two at the back and two at the front. The new phone comes with a near bezel-less design, an edge-to-edge display, fairly powerful specifications and a metal unibody design.

On the imaging front, the Honor 9i has a dual camera setup at the front with a 13MP primary shooter and a 2MP secondary shooter, the addition of which allows for the capture of images with depth of field effects. On the front, the phone comes with a feature Honor calls a “smart selfie toning flash” which provides a uniform and consistent light. Huawei claims it intelligently adjusts the brightness level according to the surroundings. The phone also allows you to take selfies via gestures.

The smartphone allows to set the focus point even after taking an image. The smartphone also comes with a bunch of photo effects preloaded. Other features on offer include time lapse, slow motion capture and so on.

The Honor 9i has 5.9-inch FullHD+ edge-to-edge display with an aspect ratio of 18:9. The “FullView” display, as Honor calls it, has a resolution of 2160 x 1080. The display is covered by 2.5D curved glass which aids in-hand feel. The smartphone has a screen to body ratio of 83%.

The Honor 9i has a metal unibody design with minimal bezels and a matte back that looks sleek, especially in the Graphite Black colour. It is available in two more colours – Prestige Gold and Aurora Blue. It is powered by the octa-core Kirin 659 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and a 3,340mAh battery which can last for seven hours of gaming.
