The Honor 9 Lite has looks of an expensive phone, it is feature-packed, but it is the battery and the camera that leaves us asking for more. The 3GB variant is a great value for money at Rs 10,999, but the 4GB variant is dwarfed by its competition.

The Honor 9 Lite seeks to provide the bezel-light appeal of modern flagship phones but at a more affordable price. Honor calls its approach FullView, which basically refers to devices with a higher screen-to-device ratio.
