Editorial report

Honor Play9T 8 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The Honor Play9T suits buyers looking for a large-screen 5G phone with a high-capacity battery, provided display resolution and camera limitations are not priorities. Its 6000 mAh battery has more capacity than those in most phones launched around the same time; 35 W fast charging is typical. IP64 protection is also included.

The TFT LCD display measures 6.77 inches and has a 120 Hz refresh rate, but its 720 × 1610 px resolution works out to 261 ppi. Both pixel density and peak brightness, at 550 nits, are lower than those of most phones from its time. For photography, the 50 MP sensor measures 1/2.76 inches, smaller than the sensors in most contemporaries, and optical image stabilization is absent. Overall, the camera stands worse than most phones launched around the same time.

This version pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the Honor Play9T is also sold with 8 GB / 256 GB and 12 GB / 256 GB. It runs Android 14 but does not include Google Services. Overall, it is typical among phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 5.5. It is best suited to buyers who put battery capacity and 5G connectivity ahead of a sharper display or a more fully equipped camera.
