6 November 2021


Sort by:

For 500€ it was terrible value but for 330 probably gives the most premium experience (hardware and ui), best display and best camera.

      The phone has a very beautiful design. I hope the next generations will come with more powerful chips like Snapdragon 870 or 860 or something like that.

Even you use Gspace it will lag, based on my experience. Not worth the trouble really. And they are selling these at a very high price. Its junk.

              I've got my nova 9. On my second day of using it keep powering off even I'm using for a while. I took to service center they diagnosed the unit and the result was battery was overheating and nothing... they do to solve the issue.... Not satisfied user of nova 9.

                bulbulito.bayagbag, 20 Nov 2021Yeah, the Honor 50 is a better Nova 9, however, if you read... moreOne thing you forgot. Honor magic ui is really rushed and the camera is far better on the nova 9.i have no idea why gsmarena says thee camera performance is underwhelming while 97% of the reviewer say its among the best camera phones for the price.

                        For anyone wondering, Huawei had started pre-order for Nova 9 since 8th Nov to 19th Nov with price of MYR 1999 = USD 478 = EU 422 in Malaysia. This is the 8GB/256GB variant. It's similar priced with the recently launched Honor 50 8GB/256GB in Malaysia. The pre-order comes with a Huawei Freebuds Pro that costs around MYR 699 = USD 167 = EU 147. If you haven't check out Huawei Freebuds Pro yet, here's a review https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_freebuds_pro_earphones_review-news-45465.php . I think it's a good buy. If I do the math, the price end up to be MYR 1300 = USD 311 = EU 275 only.

                          this phone is a joke to release outside asia.. no google play... not even free i want this

                            Why does gmsarena insists on lingering on the topic of GMS. Can't they digest the fact that Huawei phones are Google-free?

Isn't Honor 50 a better choice since it has same design and has GMS?

Even when Huawei phones have GMS, the update regularity was like once every 2 months at best. MIUI is not that good with update regularity either, but having GMS is already a big plus for a lot of users.
