We extensively test the Honor 9 in our test lab. The pretty smartphone with a 5.15-inch display and dual camera pleases on first sight. But of course it also has to withstand our strict tests to receive a good evaluation.

Huawei Honor 9 review - We liked it better when they were cheaper, but at least the Honor 9 exemplifies how you can now get the kind of features that were once exclusive to phones for half that amount.

Impressed by the OnePlus 5 but put off by the price? The cheap(er) Honor 9 might be just the ticket.
