Reviews for the Honor 9X Lite

77% Honor 9X Lite Smartphone Review – Convincing thanks to new camera and Google? | Notebookcheck
With older Android 9, but at least with Google Services, the Honor 9X Lite comes to your home. The high-resolution main camera and features like NFC make the smartphone worth a look.

This is the latest value offering from Honor, unlike recent offerings from their parent company Honor still seem to have access to Google and therefore no different to other manufacturers and for you the user all the Apps you use are still available from the Google Play Store.

HONOR 9X Lite review - An affordable lite phone with GMS enabled
Source: Tech Nave English Archive.org version
We are very well aware that our readers like having a budget-friendly smartphone but asking it to perform like a high-end device at the same time isn't practical. It's very rare to have the best of both worlds and you get what you pay, so if you're just looking for a smartphone that works for normal daily social usage, light gaming, passable camera performance, the HONOR 9X Lite fits the bill nicely.

Review – HONOR 9X Lite: Yes, this one has Google
Source: NLT English Archive.org version
Actually, yes. The HONOR 9X Lite should be treated as an entry-level smartphone, and that’s not a problem. It’s a good entry-level smartphone – especially that full HD, 1080p screen. Yet it’s a beautiful phone, too.

70% Honor 9X Lite Review — Simple Is Best?
Source: Pokde English Archive.org version
Sure the HONOR 9X Lite does have its flaws but considering of its price of RM699, it’s a pretty acceptable offering. For its simple design, big storage, and ‘okay’ camera performance for its price, I give the HONOR 9X Lite our Bronze Pokdeaward.

ARM Mali-G51 MP4: Integrated mid range graphics card with 4 clusters. Beware the results in the Mate 20 Lite, that detects benchmarks and boosts the performance.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Kirin 710: ARM based octa-core SoC containing four Cortex-A73 cores for performance tasks (up to 2.2 GHz) and four Cortex-A53 cores (up to 1.7 GHz) to save power. Furthermore, the SoC integrates an LTE radio (600 MBps down) and a ARM Mali-G51MP4 GPU. The SoC is manufactured at TSMC in 12nm.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.50":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

Honor:

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.

The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).


79%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
