The world famous brand Honor has released a new line of three entry-level smartphones. Each of the gadgets is available at the best price.
Often, when choosing from a number of inexpensive phones, the user encounters problems. After all, inexperience and ignorance can play a cruel joke - the purchased device will be obsolete and unsuitable for modern use. And trying different gadgets to find “the one” will not work, because. then there is no sense in acquiring a cheap device.
A pleasant trifle should be noted right away: the design of budget smartphones almost completely corresponds to the design of more expensive models. Appearance is now not decisive in the price indicator. A striking example is the Honor 9A, which has a glass back cover, where various patterns are attractively shimmering. The upper left corner pleases the eye with a rectangular camera module, just like the brand's more expensive Honor V30.The only thing that gives out the budget origin of the model is the fingerprint scanner, which is located on the back of the device, and is not integrated into the screen, as in top-end devices. Nevertheless, this decision fits nicely into the overall picture and does not spoil the overall impression.

The first representative of the Honor 9S line. The processor used in the new product is called MediaTek MT6762R.Often it can be found in much more expensive gadgets. Moreover, it is eight-core.
The phone does not have much RAM, because. its volume is only 2 GB. Speaking of storage, things are better here - 32 GB. If this space is not enough, then microSD cards are supported. Moreover, its use does not affect the number of valid SIM-cards. The slot is not hybrid, so everything has its place here.
The first tangible drawback of the model is the lack of a fingerprint scanner. However, facial recognition is supported, which works quite quickly, so it is not necessary to constantly enter a password to access the system.
The diagonal cannot be called large, the image resolution is optimal. The battery capacity is small, but the standard for smartphones in this price segment is 3020 mAh. Nevertheless, the energy efficiency of the processor allows you to use the gadget throughout the day, thus compensating for the small capacity of the battery.
If we consider other options, the cost of which does not exceed 7 thousand rubles, then it is difficult to find something approximate in terms of characteristics. Most of these models will work on ancient Android or run out of battery after a few hours of use. The software installed on the Honor 9S is one of the latest and is used in the flagship representatives of the brand. Simply put, the manufacturer tried to equip its development with everything necessary to the maximum and at the same time keep the cost to a minimum.
The color variety can be called standard, because.The device is available in three colors: black, red and blue. Matte plastic serves as a coating for the case. This solution is quite practical, because. the material does not stick.
This device can be called the older brother of the previous one. The device has three things that immediately distinguish it from the rest. The first draws attention frameless 6.3-inch display. The back panel is decorated with an original holographic pattern, which is often used by the manufacturer for much more expensive models. The device is equipped with a "width", in addition to the "regular" camera. This decision made it possible to shoot large objects, accommodating them entirely at close range. So, you can easily fit the whole room in one picture. Moreover, the user is given the opportunity to take portrait shots with a beautiful background blur, which is the responsibility of the depth sensor built into the third main camera module.
The Honor 9A processor is no different from the previous model, but the amount of memory has increased: 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. As in the previous model, a memory card is also supported here. Although the memory present should be enough for basic tasks, but for some, support for memory cards can be a useful addition.
The battery capacity here has increased significantly when compared with its predecessor.So, a 5000 mAh battery will last more than a day with intensive use. In addition, the user can "distribute" this energy, because. The smartphone supports reverse charging using an OTG cable.
The phone has a built-in NFC module, which allows you to pay for purchases in stores and replenish your transport card using the device.
Music lovers will be surprised by another original solution that developers have equipped the device with: Honor 9A owners can listen to FM radio without using headphones. Often they act as an antenna, so they are necessary if you want to listen to tracks, but this model is already initially equipped with an antenna that is built into the case. The manufacturer promises to equip the gadget with support for Internet radio stations in the future.
Honor 9C is the older model of the presented line. The smartphone has everything that can be included in a model, the cost of which does not exceed 15,000 rubles. The first thing you should pay attention to is the processor, which is not the same as the previous options. RAM has also become more: 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Memory cards are also supported.
Typically, when choosing, buyers pay attention to three criteria: display, battery capacity and camera. It is on them that the developers have focused.
The screen is frameless, the diagonal is not much superior to its predecessor, but, nevertheless, is 6.39 inches. The front camera is embedded into the screen, so that annoying “bang” is absent.
The main camera of the model consists of three modules, one of which is a wide-angle module, and the second is a depth sensor. The resolution of the main module was 48 megapixels. High-definition shooting is possible, night shooting is supported.
But the battery surprised, its capacity was 4000 mAh, which, as you can see, is less than that of the previous smartphone from the line. Nevertheless, such an indicator is today considered the golden mean. Such a battery is enough for a phone to play games for nine hours.
The color variety is small: blue and "midnight black". Both options feature a beautiful holographic textured back panel, which looks quite attractive and immediately draws attention.
All devices from the line are equipped with a micro-USB connector. Fans of flagship models may be surprised by such a decision by developers. But practice once again shows that this adds convenience when using inexpensive gadgets.
But what is really frustrating is the lack of pre-installed Google applications for the entire line. However, AppGallery is present.You can find almost any common application in it, and “replenishment” occurs every day, expanding the range of offers.
Summarizing all of the above, we can conclude that any presented model is fully consistent with its price. Comparing with other smartphones of the same level, it becomes clear that the manufacturer tried to please the audience as much as possible, “stuffing” his creation with everything possible. That is why the conclusion suggests itself that the purchase of this product will be a reasonable decision, which you will not have to regret later.
