Giants like Apple and HTC, have already followed the same suit. Apparently, Huawei's sub-brand Honor is reportedly launching its new flagship phone that doesn't carry the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Another major change to be seen in the design language would be to be seen in the design language would be the positioning of the fingerprint scanner. The sensor seems to be embedded in the physical home button at the front.

This could mean that Honor plans to drop the smart key feature present on the Honor 8. On Honor 8, the fingerprint scanner was placed on the back of the device, while the home button double functioned as a smart key.

 

Apart from that, the Honor 9 doesn't look much different than its predecessor. Of course, these are just leaked images without any guarantee of authentication. So, you should take the information with a pinch of salt.
