There are only a few days before MWC, but Huawei has chosen to take a step ahead and reveal a new device ahead of time: Introducing the Honor V9.
The Honor V9 is a flagship level smartphone which kind of resembles… well let’s not go there. For a start, it has a 5.7-inch 2K display (it’s still unconfirmed whether it has Gorilla Glass protection), so if you’re going to get this for media consumption, you’re in for a treat.

At the core of the device is a Kirin 960 octa-core chip, coupled with either 4GB or a whopping 6GB of RAM. It also comes with either 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB of internal storage, runs on EMUI 5.0 on top of Android Nougat, and has a 4000mAh battery.
