With dual cameras and a good-looking appearance, Honor V9 is the fastest smartphone

Since launching a large number of smartphones named "8" last year, Honor has not only become a pioneer in popularizing new mobile phone technologies such as dual cameras, but has also made continuous progress in product design, performance and system experience.

Nine months after the launch of Honor V8, Honor finally held a new product launch conference in Beijing and launched Honor V9. As a "V" series product under Honor, Honor V9 takes "fast" as its first priority, and reinterprets the high-end products of Internet mobile phones with high performance and high appearance.

The appearance design is worth emphasizing in half an article

The appearance is the biggest highlight of the Honor V9. Although it is the successor of the Honor V8, there is basically no inheritance in its appearance. It can be seen that Honor has been exploring the appearance design over the years, and the Honor V9 is also enough to make us shine.

Honor V9 is available in four colors: Flame Red, Aurora Blue, Phantom Black, and Platinum Gold. Although we did not get the most eye-catching red version this time, the low-key yet beautiful Aurora Blue is still visually fascinating.

With an all-metal body, the biggest feeling of the Honor V9 is that it feels more rounded. It abandons the double-sided high-gloss chamfer design of the V8. More than 40 grinding processes make the body lines softer. From the front, it even looks like an iPhone without the HOME button.

Although the front looks a bit similar to the iPhone, it is also very easy to distinguish. After all, the Honor V9 has a larger screen and a prominent logo, and the narrower bezel design also makes the 5.7-inch Honor V9 and the 5.5-inch Plus version of the iPhone almost the same in actual body size.

The biggest advantage of Honor V9 over Apple iPhone is that its body thickness is less than 7mm. It is worth noting that the body is made thinner based on a larger screen and an additional battery capacity of more than 1000mAh. At the same time, the 3.5mm headphone jack has not been cancelled. This is definitely a victory for industrial design.

The back of the Honor V9 still uses the classic three-section design. The antenna strips are colored by nano-injection molding to match the body color. The black version can achieve an almost "invisible" effect, and the upper antenna strips are hidden under the camera and flash, making the body look more harmonious.

Like the previous V8, the Honor V9 insists on not having a protruding camera, and the fingerprint recognition is touch-sensitive and cannot be pressed. We have always felt that the Smart Key, which did not really hit the user's pain points, has disappeared on the Honor V9.

Frankly speaking, the improvement in appearance of Honor V9 cannot be seen as a continuation of the previous generation of products, but more of a remarkable transformation. Especially after the mobile phone industry inevitably entered the situation of "face-to-face", Honor V9 broke through with more extreme design ideas and bolder color matching, consolidating the brand's appearance.

Flagship configuration leaves no regrets

The excellent and eye-catching appearance gives the Honor V9 a good external condition. When it comes to the content of the phone, the Honor V9 also spares no effort to bring out the highest configuration that an Honor phone can reach.

The Honor V9 is equipped with the industry's top-tier HiSilicon Kirin 960 octa-core processor, which uses the new A73 architecture. Compared with the previous generation, the CPU energy efficiency is improved by 15%, the single-core performance is improved by 10%, and the multi-core performance is improved by 18%. Compared with the previous generation, the Mali-G71 MP8 GPU has a graphics processing performance that soars by 180% and energy efficiency by 20%. Together with the Vulkan solution, it is enough to easily handle almost all large-scale games and heavy applications that consume hardware resources.

The 6+128GB memory combination of the all-network premium version we experienced is also full of sincerity. With a 4000mAh battery stuffed under the 5.7-inch 2K display, the battery life of the phone can easily be maintained for more than one day under normal use.

In addition, now that dual cameras have become standard for the Honor V series family, the Honor V9 brings the third-generation dual-camera technology. The latest feature is the new generation of large aperture video and real-time aperture adjustment function. Honor is basically the first to add a large aperture effect to the mobile phone camera. Although there is still some room for adjustment in actual use, it can bring more gameplay to mobile phone cameras, which is a valuable attempt.

In terms of system, Honor V9 has stepped into Android 7.0 in one step. The EMUI5.0 it carries is more simple and natural in design, with blue and white as the main colors. Compared with the previous steady business style, it has more smart and lively elements. The most worth mentioning is that Honor officially has set a guarantee for Honor V9 that "there will be no lag for 500 days". Of course, this will require a considerable amount of use in the future to verify.

I still remember that when it was first released, Honor V9 was regarded as a game-changer in the Internet mobile phone industry, which was gradually entering a bottleneck period. Honor's approach of using V9 to impact the high-end market of Internet mobile phones in the 3,000 yuan range also shows its confidence and confidence in its products.

In general, Honor V9, as a high-end flagship, has achieved the goal of improving both internally and externally. Its outstanding appearance and top hardware configuration in the current Android phone camp have undoubtedly made it the most dazzling flagship product in the domestic mobile phone market in the first half of the year.
