Honor 9 Lite deals and reviews

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.

Finally, a budget Honor phone that just about ticks every box. This is arguably the budget phone to get right now.

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.

The Honor 9 Lite could be a stunning all-rounder, but while it checks all the boxes, it does not dazzle.

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.

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

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.

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.

So to round it all up the Honor 9 Lite is a great choice with a great screen, battery life and performance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The options have never been this good looking for consumers who are looking at budget devices.

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.

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.
