[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] Awesomeness_1307:
Well, I'd like it for the specs it offers at the price.. The Kirin 659 is a powerful chip for the price, more than the SD 625, the display is pretty nice, even if a bit on the smaller side, and the design of the device is unheard of in this price range. Being a Kirin soc, and being released in India, a country which is ffiiilllleedddd with people ;D, I expect some awesome developement. For its measly price, the camera setup, both front and rear is also commendable. I'm glad I didn't buy the Honor 7X, which looks like a very good phone too for the price, but my needs are minimal, and I'd take anything that offers similar specs at a lower price, and the 9 Lite looks to be the jackpot.. It will get an update to Oreo, and therefore will support Project Treble.. I love flashing stuff on my phone, and Treble just means more candies :D..

My current device is a OnePlus One, and I really love it, but I've been wanting to upgrade for quite some time. My device has been so well maintained that even after 3 years, AccuBattery shows the battery health at 84 %. It is still a very slick device, but the camera has been starting to feel lacking, and the absence of the fingerprint scanner in this time bugs me a bit..

I am Using Samsung S3 Neo :P Its battery life like a Hell :p

&

At the Honor 9Lite Price Rate:o :) In my point of view nothing needed expect full day battery Life :)
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] pooniaprashant:
I am currently using mi a1, i would like to see how honor 9 lite would compare to mia1 in terms of portrait mode and battery-life. One thing to also keep an eye on is the viewing angle of that 18:9 display, many budget phones with 18:9 displays are having below average viewing angles.

Really love to use the Honor 9 Lite phone
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] khan_frd2002:
I am using Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 which is best for me but after seeing Honor 9 Lite i am really looking forward. I specially like the Camera of H9 Lite with hardware-level bokeh effects and the display which is FHD+ bezel-less and guess what with a powerful processor Kirin 659 Octa-core 2.36GHz with 3000mAh battery :victory:

Its a best phone at very affordable price ;)

I've never tried a Huawei/Honor phone in my life. I would want to experience EMUI by myself and also get onto tinkering on with the phone. :)

Right now I'm using Oneplus One, 1 GB more of RAM would be great, but what am really looking to in the Honor 9 lite, is the Dual-Camera Photography experience with what could be my first HiSilicon Kirin device ?
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rawwr:
using Mi A1, looking forward to get it because of quad cameras, 18:9 display, build quality and gifting my mi a1 to my mother :)

Also, EMUI 8.0 :)

Its a stunner in this budget .. feature loaded and stunning design.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] ranvirz:
I'm using Lumia 625. Honor 9 lite have brilliant look with extraordinary features at this price. Advanced quad camera, dual 2,5D glass, honor full view display, aluminium frame, 1080x2160 resolution (18:9) ,octa core CPU,75.5% screen to body ratio, finger print, Android 8.0 and what's not.i dont think there is any smart phone available in the market with all of these features under ₹15k. I become fan of this phone,at ₹10,999 you get 3GB RAM and 32 GB internal in addition of all the above features, just amazing combination at this price.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] vinnyz007:
I am currently using the Nexus 6 and honestly, I know it's about time I upgraded. What makes me want to try the Honor 9 Lite is the Quad Cameras, the 18:9 aspect ratio and the fact that I get about the same sized screen as the Nexus 6 in a much smaller body. Also, the convenience of the dual sim capability is a welcome addition as well.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] Sickmo:
As a satisfied owner of still nice performing and glitch-free working Honor 7 Im keeping track of new Honor devices. This one caught my attention the most. Definitely my favourite feature of the Honor9 lite is combination of its 18:9 screen ratio, thin bezels and 5.6 size at the same time which should come close to the size of regular 5.2 screen size. This is quite unique at the market at the moment. Thumbs up for that. :good:
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] XiaoAk:
Honor 9 lite, eh? It's a good phone for it's price
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Well i'm not too surprised of the phone specs here, i'm more concerned over if it'll get similar treatment as V10 is getting from Chris US where he's telling us that he'll take all our questions and demands? to Huawei

The fact that they are trying to help us to get in touch with Huawei is great and i'd like to see something similar to this and upcoming phones.

The phone itself looks neat, wonder if'll actually be held steady in one's hand. i'd better hope for good support on a device like this that XDA promote.

Also device looks beautiful makes me sad that i nuked my only chance to revive my Honor 8 this also could be my dev toy when i use my H8P as daily device.

Im so excited im looking forward to this phone. It is very powerfull and premium. I would love to land my hands on this phone :D
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] TheBlitzS:
I'm currently using a Samsung Galaxy S4. A pretty outdated phone, yes. That's why I want to win this Honor 9 Lite, it has all the features a perfect flagship would have for me: 4GB RAM and a Kirin chipset! Besides that, it has a beautiful FHD+ 5.2" display, I can enjoy all my content on it! If all of that is not good enough, it also has a nice camera, in order for me to take beautiful videos!

Great Phone with awesome cameras, nice price, speed Ram and storage.

I love each and every spects of this phone:o
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] theHari08:
Am currently using Moto G4 Plus.

The Honor 9 Lite surpised me with good stuffs at a reasonable price. If it had fast charging, it would be better.

What I would like to have is the OEM giving more attention to existing users with software and security updates.

Also the OEM should support more towards opensource like sony's guide to build aosp for its devices, oneplus releasing source faster with important binaries like dash charging, etc.

It feels great to have a device with both great support from OEM and better support from developers of android community.

If I had such a device, I won't change it easily and it'll last longer than others.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] Impulsive.:
Right now I'm using a Huawei P8 Lite, which I use since 2015. I want to get a new phone, however my budget isn't big enough for something which would be a good upgrade. Having this phone would be interesting (mostly because of the dual selfie cameras), and it would be also a great update to what I have now:D Also, I am pretty curious how 2018 Huawei phone are looking and working (watching photos/videos/benchmarks isn't enough for me:D ) 5.6 Widescreen seems an interesting choice made by Huawei, and it's one of the very few widesceen phones (if not the only) which could be handled with one hand only.

Let's hope I'm going to be one of the happy winners:D

Good Luck to everyone!

nothing can beat honor in terms of providing quality products in a very affordable price i have been using mid range phones from honor since a long time and loved every aspect starting from build quality to camera, i hope i will win this so i can venture into honors flagship models and even if i dont win iam gonna buy this phone :)

'Kirin' is name of my 5 month old baby

I am using three devices,

Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini running Legacy Xperia CM 12.1 Rom

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact Running DstrikerZ1 Kai Rom

and a spare Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is for enjoy flashing various stuffs, running Lineage 14.1 munjeni Rom now.

I always use Sony. But my second preference are LG and Honor.But Sony and Lg are expensive .I recommend Honor to who don't want to buy Sony or Lg. I recently bought Honor 7x for my workmate. and I feel the quality of Honor.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] drsparsh:
I am using Pixel 2. Bigger screens like 5.5" of honor 9 lite is helpful for video playback but most of the time it is not handy . i would love to have a phone of honor 8 size. Thats a perfect phone in terms of Camera, built and looks. Just 1 disadvantage, its not dual sim.

honor 9 lite is almost identical but just bigger size and a better camera. One thing honor 9 lite is missing is USB C port. I think huawei should use type c port for all of its future devices. Otherwise its an awesome device. huawei could have placed the feature of dual 4g sim slot like honor view 10 if the battery life is not affected much.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] avirk:
Hey guys! I would like to have this phone and if I win I will support this device with development and I like the open source things from honor as well. Its specs are quite impressive within this range. Currently I have Redmi 4x aka santoni and I am ROM developer for that device as well and currently we have brought OREO for this device while XIAOMI left us without kernel sources on N.

rest depends on my luck :)

Edit

I don't know if I win or not but thanks to my friends and user for their love towards me, thanks a lot guys for placing me on top I am really honored and in debt of your love guys. :)

The 18:9 screen ratio. Superb aesthetical
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] dandrake47:
I'm still on the Redmi Note 3, released 2 years ago.

It's still got good developers working on custom rom support (Already got Oreo 8.1 stable thanks to [MENTION=8215844]Irvin16[/MENTION] , and other contributers.

While the Redmi Note 3 is a good daily driver for me, I've always wanted to try out a Huawei phone - the display size of the Honor 9 Lite seems perfect for my somewhat big hands :p

Storage has been a issue for me with the Redmi Note 3, despite getting the 32GB version. 64gb is the perfect balance these days.

I don't think I need to say anything about the camera on the Honor 9 Lite - while my Redmi Note 3 has a somewhat mediocre to average camera, the Quad lens on the Honor 9 Lite is just wow.:eek:

Sure, the Redmi note 3 might have a bigger battery on paper, but it only lasts as much as a 3000mah phone, and it takes it's jolly-good time for charging up as well.

tl;dr Redmi note 3 user who's sad, and would LOVE to switch over to Honor 9 Lite.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] Solemn_Forester:
I am using Motorola Moto G 2014 (Moto G 2nd gen). Yeah its kinda old but I love it. :cool:

I like Honor 9 Lite because its a good looking phone with glass back especially in sapphire blue color.

Some EMUI features are very handy like allowing users to duplicate apps such as whatsapp, facebook etc. and users are getting android 8 out of the box.

Camera performance is also great considering its price.

Well Honor 9 Lite dominates my old moto g 2nd gen in every aspect so I am looking forward to almost everything in Honor 9 lite. :)

Looking forward to the quad camera setup and the screen.

This is the first phone I have seen that has 4 cameras, that's extraordinary and I am really looking forward to that. I have a Lenovo Z2 Plus which has 'okay' cameras and I would be really happy to have the new camera setup if I win Honor 9 Lite. The dual cameras will sure level up my photography and selfie game :cool:.

The new FullView display with FHD+ resolution looks really amazing and would love to have one for multitasking (which I do a lot) and playing games.

I love the glossy finish of blue glass of the phone which totally fits my style like my glossy Lenovo Z2 Plus.

The AI based file system of EMUI 8.0 feels for not slowing down the speed of the phone. :good:

Really looking forward to those cameras and screen.

I hope I win. :fingers-crossed:

Currently using Honor 6X from past 6 months and really happy with performance of the device....specially os optimization and battery backup though battery is just 3340mAh. EMUI 5 is amazing...with some custom features...... I never like EMUI but after using Honor 6X....I love it and don't feel the need of custom ROMs though earlier I was used to of custom ROMs and can't think to stay with stock ROM. But EMUI5 changed a lot. Hoping to get oero on Honor 6X and looking forward to see EMUI 8.0.

Regarding Honor 9 Lite, I love its FullView display, Dual front camera and specially the glass body both side 2.5D curved :good: and EMUI 8.0 in such a pretty nice price tag.

Would love to buy Honor 9 Lite.

Also hoping to see more development on this device.

Hi honor !! I am currently using Redmi 4 (santoni) and its have poor camera quality . . just viewed this post honor 9 looks just awsome beautifull design and the dual lens camera feature , portrait mod this proves the camera quality . . The FHD Display with 25D glass looks cool . . Then best ever EMUI Smoother UI and f2fs file system for fast app loading . . 2.36 GHZ Kirin 659 Octo core processor for faaster processing . . Storage 64Gb and Ram 3GB for lag free interface. . . 3000mAh battery for long last usage and the finger print feature also awsome . . . simply say about this product is just awsome . . . i"ll be more happy if i got the device . . . Hope i"ll get this ?

I am currently using Galaxy S7 Edge .

For Honor 9 lite i would like to say that this one is bang for the bucks..i mean you are getting quad camera setup and 18:9 in 10k-15k range that too from a well known brand. This phone is also following the 2017 trends like taller display[ and portrait mode photos. Total Paisa Vasool phone.

Since indian mid-ranger market is dominated by higher capacity battery phones so i think battery capacity could be improved.

Hi!.

I'm having a Motorola G4 Plus(athene) right now for which i develop.

Just liked how Honor has come up in here to support development.

Very few OEMs "actually" do this. Being a kernel developer, I'll like to see kernel source being released in accordance to the GPL(Even if they do rn, things change anythime as it happened with Motorola, You guys know :P)

And Yes, Treble might too speed up the development fast, I saw that you guys included Treble in one of your phone(I think was in beta) but that was really cool of you guys. So, yeah. Specs are on point. No looking forward to them tho :P. All i really wish is kernel sources and Treble.

Cheers!

If i win, I'll develop Custom ROMs and Kernels :)

PS :- Also the 18:9 display too :)

If you're looking through my history, it ain't big cause i never tried to be on XDA, Telegram was my friend.

And then, i've just contribute after that :P

Spammed a little to write a post in the devdb section :P

My G+ has more action than XDA :P

I'm using Samsung Grand 2 G7102 right now. but looking at the specs of Honor 9 lite the phone was absolutely amazing,

Bezel less display, front & rear facing dual camera, finger print sensor, aluminium build, kirin octa core processor what more can we expect from HONOR for such a reasonable price. Honor 9 lite is a perfect smartphone.
[Honor 9 Lite  Guides, News, & Discussion] joker W:
Elegant look, good specs at a killer price

Whenever I think of the Brand name Honor, two things come in my mind, 1. Great camera 2. Killer looks. Now another point is added, 3. Killer pricing, which was Xiaomi exclusive. Another thing is getting interesting, the EMUI version 8.

I bought a Xiaomi Mi Max 2 a few months ago just for its humongous battery. But..... It's huge size, my fatty thighs and skinny jeans are preventing me from using it as my primary. So for making phone calls I still use my Xperia M (can you believe it?) I need a good handy primary phone but currently can't buy another phone. This is my situation. I've targeted honor 7x previously, now this #Honor9Lite stole my heart ♥

Hi Dev's, currently i am using Moto G5 Plus and i love my device passionately. I saw previous Honor smartphone release of Honor 7X and Honor U10 on Tech Guru. I just became a fan of Honor U10 device as it is almost loaded with most of A.I based features. Honestly i like this effort of bringing new technologies on Android devices. If A.I features like Honor U10 could be included in Honor 9 lite then it would be amazing for users to interact with their devices with ease.

Currently using my xperia arc since my mi 4 died. The kirin 659 is very capable and efficient from all reviews i have read and watched. I'm not sold on the whole "quad cameras"(not into bokehs) but from the reviews i have read the image quality seems to good for the price which is a plus. Gyro is present unlike on the honor 7x which is nice.2.5D glass finish is something i don't really need but always will appreciate. It's the small things :)
