Performance
Under the hood, the Honor 9N is powered by a Kirin 659 chipset coupled with an octa-core CPU configuration of four high-performance Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.36 GHz and four power-efficient Cortex-A53 cores at 1.7 GHz. The Mali-T830 MP2 GPU supports graphics processing, suitable for moderate gaming and multimedia use. The phone runs on Android 8.0 Oreo, topped with EMUI 8, which offers a user-friendly interface with customization options.
The device provides multiple memory variants: 32GB with 3GB RAM, and 64GB or 128GB with 4GB RAM, which allows users to choose based on their storage needs. The inclusion of a microSDXC slot enables memory expansion, though it uses the shared SIM slot, which might be a consideration for some users.
