Many Chinese smartphone makers are planning to come with new flagships in summer. Huawei is the current leader in this market and it should has its own model presented at this time. Fortunately, it has. The new flagship is called the Huawei Honor 9, as you guess, and it’s set to be uncovered on June 20 or 21. As expected, there will be two variants of the Huawei Honor 9 – regular and big screen versions. Today a couple of official renders as well as a specs list of this handset have been leaked. Therefore, we can make some assumptions concerning the upcoming flagship of the top Chinese manufacturer.
It turns out the Huawei Honor 9 will be packed with a dual-camera like its predecessor and Huawei Mate 9. The rear shooter sports a 12MP black and white sensor accompanied with a 22MP color sensor. But it has no Leica support like the Mate 9 and P10. The lens are set horizontally. So we can write down it’s a new trend in this industry.
The rest of features include a 5.2-inch Full HD screen, Kirin 960 chip paired with a 6GB of RAM, UFS 2.0 storage, a battery at unknown capacity. But it should support a 5VDC / 2A or 9VDC / 2A fast charge technology.

The Huawei Honor 9 is rumored to come at a price tag of 2499 yuan ($362). Thus it is going to compete with the recently launched Xiaomi Mi 6. This is quite reasonable, as the Honor 9 has many similiarities to Xiaomi’s current flagship. Both of them come with a metal frame and 3D glass housing, fingerprint scanner located under the home button, rear camera looking identically and so on. So Xiaomi has to accelerate production of the Mi 6 not to lose customers due to capacity problems once the Huawei Honor 9 is launched.
