Honor 9 deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	Alphr | Alan Martin There's a dearth of smartphones in the sub £400 bracket, and the Honor 9 fills the space nicely. It's more powerful than the modular Moto Z2 and the Samsung Galaxy A5, and looks like a handset that costs twice the price. If you have that money to spend, then look no further. Read full review
100	Stuff | Andrew Williams The Honor 9 is a phone with some serious high-end chops that sells for a mid-range price ... All of which means that the Honor 9 is one of the best phones of the year. No, we didn't see that coming either. High-end hardware at a middleweight price makes the Honor 9 one of the best phone deals around. Read full review
90	The Guardian | Max Parker It's enough to turn this range's fortunes around. The Honor 8 was a fair buy, the Honor 9 is about the best you'll find at the price. A refreshingly good deal. Read full review
90	Trusted Reviews | Max Parker Honor 9 is a refreshingly good deal Read full review
90	GadgetSpeak | mfereday Battery power aside, I was impressed with the appearance and performance of the Honor 9. Designed for the young at heart ,Huawei has attempted to combine aspects of quality, appearance and a price point that should appeal to its designated market sector. Read full review
90	TechRadar | James Peckham The Honor 9 offers a lot of what the high-end flagship phones do right now, but for a much lower price. There's no exciting, headline-grabbing feature here, but a great design, fantastic performance and lots of nice touches make this an all-round impressive and affordable phone. Read full review
90	Android Headlines | Justin Diaz The Honor 9 is a great smartphone that has some pretty top-tier specs without the top-tier price. Read full review
90	T3 | Spencer Hart Looking for an affordable flagship smartphone? Honor has you covered. At that price, the Honor really is an absolute steal. It's a great smartphone with high-end specs and a premium design. Read full review
90	Recombu | Chris Barraclough The Honor 9 is a great-value handset that offers a similar flagship experience to most other premium phones, yet with a greatly reduced asking price. Read full review
89	ZDNet | Sandra Vogel The really interesting comparison is between this handset and the Huawei P10. It's nearly £200 cheaper but with similar specifications, and is simply much better value for money. That's bizarre since both handsets come from Huawei, but good news for buyers. Read full review
88	NotebookCheck | Florian Wimmer Gorgeous case, good camera, decent battery life – we hardly find any reason for complaint with the Honor 9. If the SoC would not throttle under load, our recommendation would even become more clear, but even as it is, the Honor 9 offers a great price-performance ratio. Read full review
88	MobileTechTalk | Craig Bradshaw The Honor 9 is an excellent device at an excellent price and the timing of its launch couldn't have been better. The price is great for a smartphone in 2017 that isn't a complete waste of time, and I have to say, even as a OnePlus fan, I've had to really think about which device to use moving forward as a daily driver. Read full review
87	Android Authority | Gary Sims Flagship specs and dual cameras for less than you might expect! The honor 9 certainly ticks a lot of the right boxes: great performance, dual cameras, sleek design, and an IR blaster! Read full review
80	AndroidPit | Jessica Murgia I would personally choose to buy the Honor 9. Read full review
80	phoneArena | Stephen S. In the end, the Honor 9 is an attractive option for international smartphone users – and all for quite a bit less than your typical flagship. There's no one stand-out area where the Honor 9 shines, but it does enough right to be worth recommending. Read full review
80	What Hi-Fi? With features you'd expect from a more expensive phone, the Honor 9 has usurped OnePlus as the de facto high-end smartphone for anyone on a budget - even if overall performance is good rather than great. Read full review
80	Expert Reviews | Jonathan Bray I'd still recommend the OnePlus 5, however, if you pick the Honor 9 for its slick looks and low price it's not a decision that will weigh heavily on your mind. Read full review
80	Pocket-lint | Mike Lowe The Honor 9 is a siren in the mid-range phone market. Our complaints are only minor quibbles. For the next Honor device to achieve perfection all it really needs to do is smooth out the graphics and user experience, then it will be an unstoppable brand in the affordable phone market. Now, that's quite the turnaround from its starting point. Read full review
70	Digital Trends | Andy Boxall A beautiful blue bargain, the Honor 9 embarrasses the competition with its cool camera and flashy design. Read full review
