Huawei Mate 10 Lite hands-on review
The Honor 9i is the latest phone to be launched under Huawei's online-online brand in India. Also known as the Huawei Mate 10 Lite, Nova 2i and Mailman 6 in other countries, it is Huawei's first phone with not two or three but four onboard cameras.
The 9i/Mate 10 Lite also capitalizes on another trend in the smartphone market - that of taller displays. Featuring an 18:9 aspect ratio display, the Honor 9i is one of the few phones on the market to feature a taller display in its price range.
Being a budget phone, the mate 10 is a bit underwhelming in terms of pure specs on paper.
