Honor 9 Lite deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	Stuff | Andrew Williams Cutting-edge design at a price that won't shred your wallet. Even with its average gaming performance, this is an excellent budget phone. Read full review
90	Android Central | Richard Devine Finally, a budget Honor phone that just about ticks every box. This is arguably the budget phone to get right now. Read full review
84	NotebookCheck | Daniel Schmidt The Honor 9 Lite does well with its bright display, fast LTE and four cameras. Gamers, on the other hand, will not always be as pleased with it. Read full review
83	Android Authority | Abhishek Baxi The Honor 9 Lite could be a stunning all-rounder, but while it checks all the boxes, it does not dazzle. Read full review
80	The Mobile Indian | Rohan Pal Honor 9 Lite is surely one of the most beautiful-looking smartphones at this price range that offers some delightful viewing experience. The performance is satisfactory and the camera does a decent job in ample lights. Read full review
80	TechPP (Technology Personalized) | Nimish Dubey Well, if you want a decent performing smartphone that still turns heads on a relatively tight budget, the answer is yes. And it is yes again if you want a good cameraphone without spending too much Read full review
80	GadgetSpeak | mfereday While a step-down from the original Honor 9, this Lite version is well worth considering with its pleasant, stylish appearance and more than adequate performance. Read full review
80	The Economic Times | Hitesh Raj Bhagat We think the 3/32GB variant of the Honor 9 Lite is in a real sweet spot with that price. If nothing else, it can win you over with sheer design and value. Read full review
80	MobileTechTalk | Chris Wallace So to round it all up the Honor 9 Lite is a great choice with a great screen, battery life and performance. Read full review
80	91mobiles | Prateek Pandey Honor 9 Lite is an absolute steal, given that in this price bracket, no other option gives you an 18:9 display (a very capable one at that) and quad cameras. Also, the 9 Lite is the best-looking smartphone in the budget segment in my opinion, and the device should turn heads every time you take it out of your pocket. Read full review
80	Pocket-lint | Cam Bunton In many ways the Honor 9 Lite sets a new standard for sub-£200 phones. Its striking looks are well beyond its asking price, delivering a degree of flagship quality. However, there are quirks that hold it back from perfection, while the headline quad camera feature isn't as exciting as it sounds. Read full review
80	Expert Reviews | Nathan Spendelow With high-end features and a dirt-cheap price tag, the Honor 9 Lite is one of the most tempting budget smartphones out there. Read full review
80	TechRadar | Sudhanshu Singh, John McCann The Honor 9 Lite has the looks of an expensive phone and it's feature-packed, but it's the battery and rear camera that leaves us asking for more. Read full review
70	Mr Phone | Ershad Kaleebullah if we have to compare the Honor 9 Lite directly with the Xiaomi Mi A1, the latter is a marginally better pick for providing a stock Android experience and better rear cameras. However, the Mi A1 doesn't come with a futuristic bezel-less display or a great selfie camera. Therefore, the ball is in your court. Read full review
70	Firstpost | Nimish Sawant The options have never been this good looking for consumers who are looking at budget devices. Read full review
70	Trusted Reviews | Jon Mundy The Honor 9 Lite's bezel-light design and twin-lens camera tricks are eye catching, but it's perhaps too quirky to fully take on the Motorola G-series at the top of the table. Read full review
70	NDTV Gadgets | Roydon Cerejo The base variant of the Honor 9 Lite is one of the better options currently in the market. The 4GB RAM version that we reviewed feels a bit too expensive considering it's not an all-rounder. If you're in no hurry then you might want to wait a bit for Xiaomi's new Redmi 5 Plus.
