Honor 9N launch is the talk of the town

After days of speculation and unbearable suspense, the Honor 9N sees the light of the day in New Delhi today. Launched with all pomp and gaiety at a stunning event in Delhi’s Andaz Hotel, Honor 9N shone like a star in a far off galaxy.

I have been following the buzz around this phone for a while now and was smitten by its features and looks. So when I got the chance to be in the launch event today, I grabbed it with both hands. The hospitality of Honor is well known and today was no different. After an elaborate breakfast, guests and media personnel were treated with a spectacular launch session.    

Things were kick started by P Sanjeev, VP Sales, who took the energy level to new heights with his enthusiastic speech about how Honor continues to be the fastest growing smartphone brand in India. The numbers were really impressive and I could hear a few fellow guests appreciating them with muted hmmms and ummms.

Post that CMO Suhail Tariq showcased Honor’s commitment to the fan base and threw light on various non-business activities to engage fans in a very positive manner.

The product launch part was headed by senior marketing lead, Clinton Jeff who amid all the hype, took the audience through the amazing device. As an audience member, I am really impressed with the way Honor has designed the new phone.

I was really happy to see the notch design on Honor 9N. I had been hearing about the notch from various leaks and it seems that the leaks were indeed real. The notch in Honor 9N is way smaller than the iPhone notch and offers more screen space for reading, video viewing and gaming.

Glass body with mirror like finish lend the phone a very premium look. I have to mention the colour variants here. Apart from the classic Midnight Black and Sapphire Blue, Honor 9N comes in two more stunning shades – the Lavender Purple and Robin Egg Blue.

Camera has always been Honor’s stronghold and Honor 9N sticks to this core area. The 16MP front camera with 4 in 1 light fusion technology enables you to click well-lit selfies even in low light scenarios. The 13+2MP rear dual camera is capable of capturing wonderful images with professional level bokeh effect.

Now, the most amazing part of the phone, its price. Leaks got it wrong though. Unlike what was circling around, Honor 9N’s 3GB + 32GB variant comes at 11,999 INR and the 4GB + 64GB variant costs 13,999 INR. It is way to lower than what the leaks speculated.  

A new star is born!
