Honor just released three new budget phones in Russia. Meet the new Honor 9C, 9A, and 9S.
Let’s start with the most feature-packed of the three, the Honor 9C. This thing is powered by a Kirin 710A processor, with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, and comes with a 4,000mAh battery.
A 6.39-inch HD+ IPS screen populates the front, with a small punch-hole on the top left that houses the 8-megapixel selfie camera. A 48-megapixel main sensor is seen on the back, alongside an 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. You can also find the fingerprint scanner back here.
The Honor 9C has a price of RUB12,990 (~Php8,900) and will hit the store shelves on May 4.
