The Honor 9N will be the second smartphone from the brand to embrace a notch. As the Honor 9N or the Honor 9i (2018) retails in China for a starting price of CNY 1399, the company is expected to launch the same in India for a price of Rs 14,000 ~ 15,000. Just like the Honor 9 Lite, the Honor 9N is likely to be available in the flash sale model. According to the leak, the smartphone will be launched in collaboration with Flipkart and will be available exclusively on Flipkart via flash sale model.

The company has already started to tease the smartphone via social media and has also confirmed the name of the smartphone as the Honor 9N. The teaser also reveals that the smartphone will have an all-glass design with a dual camera setup at the back and a notch on the front of the smartphone. The company is expected to launch the Honor 9N in a variety of colors, including Green, Black, Blue, and Purple.

Specs-sheet

The Honor 9N will have a 5.84-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display offering a taller 19:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the device will run on the HiSilicon Kirin 659 Octa-core chipset with either 4 or 6 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of onboard storage with the option for storage expansion via micro SD card slot.

On to the optics, the smartphone will have a dual camera setup with a 13 MP RGB and a 2 MP depth sensor. On the front, the smartphone will have a massive 16 MP selfie snapper with AI features and support for face unlock.
