The USP of the device is is four cameras. There is a 16MP+2MP rear camera setup and a 13MP+2MP dual front camera setup on the Honor 9i smartphone. We have seen many mid-range smartphones with dual cameras but there will be two cameras either at the rear or at the front. And, four cameras is something that we have hardly seen on smartphones.
