Performance
Running on the Android 8.0 Oreo, and upgradeable to Android 9.0 Pie with EMUI 9.1, the Honor 9 Lite is powered by the Kirin 659 chipset. This octa-core processor, accompanied by the Mali-T830 MP2 GPU, handles everyday tasks with relative ease, such as browsing, video streaming, and casual gaming. However, it may struggle with more demanding applications and high-end gaming. The phone offers different memory configurations, with up to 64GB of internal storage and 4GB RAM, adequate for moderate multitasking.
