Honor is very evidently strengthening its grip over the Indian smartphone market lately. The Chinese tech giant’s strategy to launch multiple phones in a short span is a clear example of our assumption.

In itself, where companies are still preparing for their yearly launch, Honor has launched three phones in a matter of just two months – Honor 7X in DecemberHonor 9 Lite and Honor View 10 in January While the View 10 serves a whole different segment, the 9 Lite and 7X fall in a similar price category.

The question here is, why did Honor go with two different phones in the same price category, and which one is a better buy?

In this post, we’ll be analysing what sets apart the Honor 9 Lite from the Honor 7X, and which one is better for you. Although the 9 Lite is the cheaper among the two, it definitely looks more premium than the Honor 7X.

While the 7X comes packed in an aluminum shell, the 9 Lite boasts of an all-glass design, that looks nothing less than a pricey phone.

Moreover, the 9 lite is lighter, feels more compact and one-handed operation is far more convenient on it.

But that’s all what’s good about 9 Lite’s design. The Honor 7X doesn’t have the looks of a flagship, but it’s not bad either.

It looks pretty sleek for its price.

In a more practical sense, the Honor 7X is more sturdy compared to the fragile glass body of the 9 Lite. But there’s a tiny camera protrution on the 7X, which isn’t a big deal for many but some users prefer a flat back, and this is where the 9 Lite comes in.

In a nutshell, the Honor 9 Lite is the pretty one but it’s delicate and the 7X has a more sturdy build material, which doesn’t look bad at all.

Honor 9 Lite is a carbon copy of the 7X in terms of hardware, where the only difference is with the RAM. We couldn’t differenciate between the performance in day-to-day usage, although the 9 Lite led the benchmark ratings by a small margin.

It’s a minor difference. It’s hard to identify where the 9 Lite leads, but we guess it’s the software that’s making the difference in the benchmarks.

Honor has promised the EMUI 8. The Android Oreo does a fair job in optimising the software to boost processing power. But we must note that none of the phones are good enough to run graphically-intensive games flawlessly.

It’s good to see that Honor has shifted towards dispay.

Both Honor 7X and 9 Lite have the new aspect ratio as well. Honor has always impressed us with the displays on its phones. Both the phones, the Honor 9 Lite and the 7X sport bright and vivid displays for their price.

Both the displays are thin and tall, which aids single handed operation on both. Notably, the 9 Lite has a smaller panel at 5. Pixels on the Honor 9 lite are more densely packed, and the display also looks much brighter than the one on 7X.

Battery consumption on both the phones was relatable while browsing and gaming, but video streaming on the Honor 9 Lite consumed slightly more power.

The two devices are touted as camera centric-phones by the company, which means there’s a lot to do with the cameras here. While both have a dual camera setup on the back, the Honor 9 Lite goes a notch ahead with a dual camera in the front as well.

It is very difficult to find dissimilarities between the photos. The Honor 9 lite reproduces punchy colors, better dynamic range and handles light well.

Both suffer in low-light, but the 9 Lite still does a better job in eliminating noise and capturing details. Overall, both the cameras do almost the same job in day light except for slight difference in colorsbut moving towards artificial and low-light makes it pretty easy to judge that the 9 Lite is superior.

This gives a tiny, but a considerable in this case, lead to the 7X over the 9 Lite.

If the difference of 1GB of RAM is not a concern, the 3GB variant of the 9 Lite looks like a much better value for money with a price difference two grands.

The Honor 9 Lite is surely a wiser choice at Rs 10, but the Honor 7X makes more sense when you spend Rs 15, on any of these phones.

The Honor 7X, despite of a slightly inferior camera, display, and an older OS seems more practical because of a more durable body and better battery.

Of course, things would have been different if the Honor 9 Lite had an irresistibly overwhelming display or camera, which is not the case.

Having good looks and a better front camera is a wise choice, but for us, having a sturdy build and a better battery makes more sense if you plan to use your phone for a year.
