HONOR 9A Smartphone - 6.3 Inch FullView Display Screen with An Ultra Wide Triple Camera, Fingerprint Sensor and Face Unlock, 3 GB RAM and 64 GB Storage - Midnight Black

0veryy happy good value for the price

I have used loads of different handsets over the last few years, but my more recent handset just didn’t have enough storage ands there’s was always one issue or another. So I decided it was time to put my hand in my pocket and upgrade so after some research I chose the 9x Pro. I have had the phone for over a week now and feel I should share my thoughts on it so far. Firstly, the main reason I went for the 9x Pro over some mid-lower range competitors was down to the 256gb storage. I take a lot of pictures and videos, and I mean A LOT. 256gb should stand me in good stead for some years to come. Yes, I know I could offload my stuff onto separate storage or upload online but I do like having a complete collection of my memories ready to access. There is a good weight to the device in the hand, feeling like a premium product - not cheap. I am not one normally who was fussed about a flashy back but the two-tone effect is truly remarkable. It makes the phone look more expensive than it actually is! Due to the large size of the screen (6.59"!) and the pop-up camera it means I have something that plays games really well and almost feels like a small games console. Transferring over from my existing phone was a breeze by following the setup instructions. I had to download 'Phone Clone' onto my old device (easy enough) but after a quick process of scanning a barcode via the new phone it set itself up without hassle and pulled over all my existing pictures, video and contacts. Inside the box was a very helpful leaflet explaining the process of how to setup the phone, including the transfer method above. It also explained how to go about searching for apps on the Huawei App Gallery (first time using this) I knew when buying the phone was it was not going to support Google apps. You would have to have lived in a cave for the last year to not have heard or followed the ongoing issues with Huawei and the impact it has had on their new phones. As such, Honor being part of Huawei is also affected. I knew that going into this I may find it tough to adapt but the other benefits at the price made me want to at least give it a go. The leaflet was easy to follow and pretty quickly I had understood how to follow a slightly different process to download apps. Instead of the Play store there is the Huawei App Gallery which in principle does the same thing. There were some apps missing when I was looking but at the same time one of the presented options in the leaflet was to look at 'Petal Search' as another option. You get this by downloading it from the App Gallery and you can set it up as a widget on the main screen. This allowed me to find lots of apps that I couldn't get from Huawei App Gallery. I wanted to download Spotify to use on my new phone and found it easily enough this way. Sure, I can't use dedicated Google Apps such as YouTube but there are ways to continue using them in a slightly different form. You can use the browser version and save the link to the main screen easily enough. In fact, Petal Search suggested it and set it up for me without hassle. It doesn't look or act any different than having the app. The end result is an experience that whilst took a bit of getting used to, hasn't really changed what I use my phone for. Again, the benefits of the device itself outweighed a few initial concerns and now I am not bothered by it. I have not even begun to mention the other great parts of the phone...the triple camera on the back has a 48mp lens! The pictures I have taken so far look fantastic and having a wide-angle lens gives me some good options to explore when I feel like it. That previously mentioned 16mp pop-up camera is a real attention grabber though - people are surprised that it comes out of the phone itself really quickly. I have heard people get worried about these breaking off but it feels sturdy to me and retracts quickly. Finally it comes with a 4000 mAh battery. This is much bigger than I was previously used to and gets me well into the second day without a need to charge. With that big screen this is a particularly good bonus. The charger is USB-C, another bonus as so much these days already use that connection. Overall I am impressed by the spec and build quality of the phone and more than happy with the product itself.

No bad at all - Very good options

It is a good mobile. Great pictures, the batter is really good: fast charge that lasts many hours. Big enough to see perfectly film and a lots of GB, so a lot of apps. A really great mobile for the money they ask

Super Ausstattung für den Preis. Sehr wertiges Gerät ohne Plastik. Speicher satt, großer Bildschirm, flottes Arbeitstempo, Akku spitze, Kamera gut. Mit den Apps muss man sich zu helfen wissen. Sicher kein Gerät für Anfänger, die sich nicht mit App Stores und APKs befassen wollen. Traurig ist allerdings, dass die hier erhältliche Version immer noch kein Android 10 bekommen hat, obwohl es für das für andere Regionen schon gibt. Habe ich da das "Zukunftsversprechen" von Huawei falsch verstanden? Immerhin kommen Sicherheitsupdates.
