Honor recently launched its Honor 9N smartphone in India, which is none other than the rebranded 2018 Honor 9i that was launched earlier in China. The smartphone features a thin-bezel display with a notch on top and an all-glass design. It will be available for purchase exclusively via Flipkart starting 12PM today. The Honor 9N comes in a 4GB RAM/64GB storage model, which is priced at Rs 13,999 and its 4GB RAM/128GB internal storage model costs Rs 17,999. The phone is available in Sapphire Blue and Midnight Black colour models.
As part of Honor 9N's launch offers, Reliance Jio customers will get to avail a Rs 2,200 cashback with the purchase of the device. The cashback will be credited in form of 44 vouchers, each worth Rs 50, in the customer’s MyJio App, along with 100GB of additional high-speed data. Customers purchasing the device will also receive vouchers worth Rs 1,200, which can be redeemed on Myntra. The handset will also be available via hihonor.com/in, which is the company’s own online shop.

Coming to optics, the device is equipped with a 13MP + 2MP dual-rear camera setup, and on the front, it supports a 16MP sensor with 2.0µm pixel sensor size.

Honor 9N Features
Honor has crammed in some additional features on the smartphone to make it appealing to the customers. One will get to use the Paytm Pay Feature, which allocates a fingerprint for directly unlocking the device to Paytm’s payment page. The feature was recently rolled out to the Huawei P20 Pro and users can select their preferred fingerprint id to make faster payments. It also comes with a Ride Mode, which minimises distractions while one is driving. There is also a Party Mode which was previously seen on the Honor 10 . Using the Party Mode one can daisy-chain six Honor smartphones that support the feature to play music in-sync, creating a louder sound experience.
