Honor 9 Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the device is powered by the Kirin 960 chipset, a formidable choice along with an octa-core CPU configuration (4x2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 & 4x1.8 GHz Cortex-A53) and a Mali-G71 MP8 GPU. These specs enable the phone to handle a variety of tasks with relative ease, from gaming to media consumption. It originally ran Android 7.0 Nougat with EMUI 9.1 but is upgradable to Android 9.0 Pie, which supports newer applications and features. Storage options include 64GB or 128GB coupled with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, facilitating multitasking and storage flexibility, though the hybrid SIM slot compromises using a secondary SIM for expanding storage with a microSD card.
