Editorial report
Huawei Honor 9S 2 GB / 32 GB / Global technical sheet
The Honor 9S may suit buyers looking for a compact, lightweight phone, provided they accept a battery with less capacity than most phones of its time. At 144 g, it is among the lightest of its era, and its body measures 146.5 mm tall and 70.9 mm wide. The 5.45-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1440 px resolution; its 295 ppi density is below average, a drawback for anyone who puts screen detail first.
The available configuration pairs 2 GB of RAM with 32 GB of storage. Both figures are lower than those of most phones of its time, and its AnTuTu score is also worse than most. Storage is expandable. Android 10 and the lack of Google Services are further considerations when weighing its software and app options.
The rear camera has 8 MP and an f/2 aperture, which is worse than most phones of its time, and it has no optical image stabilization. Overall, its camera is among the weakest of its era. The 3,020 mAh battery and 10 W charging are also below what most phones of its time offer. In return, the phone has dual Nano-SIM support and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
The Honor 9S earns a NeoScore of 3.0 and is among the weakest phones of its time overall. It makes the most sense for buyers who value low weight and compact dimensions more than battery capacity, camera specifications and performance.
