Huawei's side-brand Honor has launched a new smartphone in China, the Honor V9.

In the camera department, the device features two 12MP f/2.2 cameras on the back with an implementation similar to what we have seen in the Honor 8; the device utilizes one monochromatic sensor and one RGB sensor which according to company allows for improved low-light performance. As for selfies, the device has an 8MP f/2.0 front camera.

Under the hood, the device has the same powerful HiSilicon Kirin 960 octa-core SoC which powers the Huawei Mate 9, with four Cortex A73 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz frequency and four Cortex A53 efficiency cores running at 1.8 GHz frequency. On the software side, the Honor V9 comes preloaded with Android 7.0 Nougat-based EMUI 5.0 out of the box.

Lastly, the device comes with a 4,000mAh battery, a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 4.2, NFC, IR blaster, USB-C port and, luckily, 3.5 mm headphone jack.
