Editorial report
Huawei Honor 9C technical sheet
The Honor 9C suits buyers looking for a basic smartphone who can accept a battery and charging setup that trails most phones of its time. Its 4,000 mAh battery is below average, and 10 W charging is worse than that of most phones from the period. Those are the clearest trade-offs.
The main camera’s 48 MP resolution is above average for phones of its time, and the camera setup overall is above average. The 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1560 pixels; its 273 ppi is below average. At 176 g, the phone is lighter than most phones of its time.
The configuration shown pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, both below average for the period. Storage is expandable, and the phone supports two Nano-SIM cards. It has no Google Services, an important limitation for anyone who relies on Google apps. NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack are also included.
Overall performance is below average among phones launched around the same time. The Honor 9C earns a NeoScore of 4.2. It is a basic option for buyers who value a 48 MP camera, low weight and expandable storage, and can do without Google Services and a more capable battery.
