Editorial report

Huawei Honor 9A technical sheet

The Honor 9A suits buyers after a basic phone who put battery capacity first; the main trade-off is performance that is worse than most phones of its time. Its 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and 278 ppi, below average for its time. At 185 g, it weighs less than average among phones of the period.

This configuration pairs 3 GB of RAM with 64 GB of expandable storage. The Honor 9A is also sold with 4 GB of RAM, and supports two SIM cards in Dual SIM Dual Standby. Its AnTuTu score of 95,000 is worse than most phones of its time, making it better suited to basic tasks than buyers seeking strong performance. It runs Android 10 and has no Google Services.

The 5,000 mAh battery holds more capacity than most phones of its time, while 10 W charging is slower than on most. The camera is below average; the rear setup includes an ultrawide camera alongside a 13 MP camera and a depth camera. NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio round out the features. The display, camera and connectivity are below average, while battery capacity stands out. Its NeoScore is 4.3: a basic choice for buyers who value battery capacity more than performance.
