Honor's 9 lite looks dapper in Sapphire Blue colour variant. It has everything going for itself in the design department with the shiny 2.5D glass on back and for Rs 10,999, it's one of the better designed smartphone available right now.
The 18:9 aspect ratio display is vibrant and is reason enough to buy it. It also has a quad-camera setup. The front-facing cameras capture some good pictures while the rear one leaves much to be desired for. There's no fast charge support which might be a deal breaker for some.
But for people who can turn a blind eye to these things, the 9 lite is a unique smartphone at this price.
