Huawei Honor 9 SIM-Free Smartphone - Glacier Grey

I needed to get a new Phone as my iPhone 6 Plus had bent, and to be honest I had enough of Apple, too expensive and redistrict in what you can and cannot do. I wanted to move from apple and being a tech lover, I deiced to do a lot of research into Android phones, concluding that this phone is is the best for price, for many reason. One of them being the extremely fast performance with a Kirin 960 processor,4GB or 6GB of RAM & 64GB ROM. Additionally the features are awesome. I would certain say a lot more freedom to make the phone yours rather than apple phones, with features including:4K camera and many photo settings like RAW photos Pro Photos, pro video, Light painting, Night Shots, Very good HDR (A good camera is something I require being a photographer for quick stories on Instagram and posts on other social media platforms)Instant finger print scannerWidgets for AppsTransitions for screen swipingEye comfort modeScreen recordingGoogle Assist3.5mm Jacket (LOL)type C cable chargingExtendable storageDual SimAnd many many more features.Additionally the styling is very appealing, the back is awesome,a bit of a finger print magnet and a little bit slippy, but if you are like me and use a case you'll be fine. Speaking of cases the phone comes with a case for the back of the phone to address this slight issue.There are few disadvantagesLittle bezels, but is not very noticeable for me at leastThere is no video stabilisation for 4K but is for 1080pThats about it.Overall, a solid phone, with a brilliant price tag, I've had the phone just over a month and it is for me one of the best phones on the market.Hope this has helped You.

I've been on Samsung and iphone for as long as I can remember so was looking to upgrade. The price they are asking for the new phones is absolutely ridiculous and I wasn't prepared to pay it. I could buy a car that would last me 5 years for the same price.I had been looking at the one plus 5 for a long time but even they are starting to ask silly prices for the latest flagship. I did my research and opted for the grey honor 9.I love the phone. The fingerprint scanner is the best I've ever seen. It is so fast. The camera is superb. In fact I cannot find fault with it anywhere. The battery gives me more than I'm used to and charges really quickly. Even the music sounds better than the Samsung phone. This phone need's a cover on it right away though because it is a fingerprint magnet. I opted for the clear silicon case so you could still see that styled back cover. Although it does actually come with a clear cover, but it's plastic not rubber so it scratches easily.You really have to weigh up what you want from a phone and how much you are prepared to pay for it. For me the sacrifice of wireless charging and a slightly better camera didn't warrant the extra 3-4 hundred pounds for the latest Sammy or iPhone.The phone zips through everything you throw at it and then some. If you are thinking of buying a new phone but aren't prepared to pay silly money this is a serious alternative.

PRO:Love the phone. Very smooth operation. Sleek and easy to hold. Some great shots on the Dual camera.CON: Slips easily out of hand. Cracked screen replacement costed £90+.

I was looking to replace an old One Plus One but the newer models have gone up in price quite a lot so not such good value. Alternative mobiles were considered and discounted because they either didn't look nice or didn't have what I needed basically an ok camera, fast processor, ability to use as a satnav, good/quick fingerprint reader on the front, good screen, and the ability to add extra storage; my one issue with my One Plus One. Well after 3 months use i am well impressed. The transfer of apps using the Honor app was seamless. Call quality is great. Reception good. Screen sensitive and vibrant. The inbuilt app to maintain phone performance works faultlessly. Calls are good. Gets plenty of good comments and as i bought this on a deal it was an absolute steal. Dont get hung up on the iPhone is best and the idea you have to have a really expensive android flagship - this will be enough phone for probably 95% of people

It's pretty good bangs for bucks but quality is not as good as mainstream expensive phones.ProsScreen is good enough.Feels quality build and not plastic cheap.Good for people familiar with iPhone interfaceCharges quicklyBattery lasts quite a fair bit after decent usage (2 hours video, 2 hours calls and browsing etc. still leaves 40% for me by evening)Software is good and helps optimise memory usage and battery lifeConsScreen feels less responsive on some appsSlow CPU starts lagging on busy appsFor a very high resolution camera there is no anti jitter feature.All pictures in non-pro modes are a bit whitish.

Just a top quality phone! You won't be disappointed. Great cameras, plenty of ram, enough storage (expendable by popping in a micro sd card). Had the oneplus 3t before this (with 6gb memory) but can hardly tell a difference speed wise between the 2. Battery lasts all day without a problem. With the oneplus I'd be down to maybe 50% by around 4pm, but with the honor 9 still finding I've got 70-75% power left. Make sure you get yourself a decent case/cover to keep it looking pretty!
