Honor 9 Lite Hands-On: Four Lenses on a Budget

2018-02-08
hey there guys Adam Snitsky here so I made the commute into London to check out the latest launch from Huawei under the promise of free snacks they did not disappoint there was shortbread biscuits and alcohol there's also a ball pit because of course there was phones are predominantly marketed towards Millennials now after all there was also the honor nine light and with a total of four lenses and a great price that didn't disappoint either the other nine light is a light version of the flagship phone on a nine except from what I can tell it's not that light it weighs pretty much what you'd expect from a smartphone lols that's my little joke the honor nine light is light in the same way that yogurt is light this is your low fat on a9 meaning slightly powered down specs for a more wallet friendly price except it's not that light in that sense either there's still a lot of bang for your buck here specs wise it's similar to the excellent on a 7 X with the 16 nanometer octa-core keren 695 chipset so that's still plenty nippy for general Android stuff you'll get three gigabytes of RAM and 32 gigabytes of storage around the front there's a 5.6 5 inch edge to edge IPS LCD display that's a to 160 P by 1080p resolution and an 18 by 9 aspect ratio in keeping with 2018 design trends in fact it's very similar to be on a 9 in its overall design and it feels very premium in the hand there's that really shiny back panel achieved with 2.5 d glass that you'll find on all honor devices and it comes in three attractive colors while waste calling this affordable premium sounds like a contradiction in terms but it's actually pretty hard to argue in this case there's also a 3000 milliamp hour non replaceable battery which should provide some decent longevity a fingerprint sensor located around the back for secure access control and Android 8.0 Oreo for the operating system and that's got the nui 8 skin on top of it which has some smart memory management features a little backwards facing though is the notably absent USB type C we get micro USB in its place which is a shame there's no mention of water resistance either but saving the best to last the least delights part of this phone is in the camera department you'll get not two not three but four lenses for your money both the front and back cameras feature a 13 megapixel primary shooter backed up by a 2 megapixel secondary lens for depth information that means boquete in both directions from more glam selfies and blowing your friends out of the background of your shots there's also better beautification which of course I won't be needing in all seriousness the portrait node is a lot of fun and looks like a marked improvement over the feature on the 7x from my brief time with it in general the cameras performed very well and even in low-light settings on has been packing all kinds of cool features into their cameras for a while now actually so you'll be able to play around with the other things like aperture and exposure that means silky looking waterfalls and star tracking I loved this feature on the 7x and that manual control over the aperture can be set anywhere from F zero point nine five to f/16 which is pretty impressive so many budget phones cut corners when it comes to the camera but that is clearly not the case here now of course is where the ball pit fitted into the equation providing the perfect opportunity for us to tweet pictures and hashtag be our selfies fun but very dangerous do not to lose your keys in one of those things overall this is potentially a very affordable device for content creators and Instagram lovers especially with real-time headset monitoring also thrown in for good measure for anyone there who wants a phone that looks premium at a more affordable price this will be a strong contender at 199 pounds here in the UK this is perhaps the most affordable way to get on that portrait mode bandwagon there's no word yet on whether it's just coming to the US or how much it'll cost if it does refer us Brits it will be available on Friday and you better read our full review right here before then thanks a ton for watching guys hope you found this video useful and interesting if you did then please consider leaving a like please share it around comment down below and let us know what you think of the on a9 light and of course stay tuned subscribe to the channel and check out the website through your source for all things Android
