A mobile Wallet, Health tracking, customer care, and device optimization, as well as the standard notes, email, mapping, and game center apps, are part of the package. Apps of that type are indispensable here. And the fact that Huawei has effectively replicated all of Google's services for the Chinese market is no mean feat. It's laudable. The elephant in the room is that Google apps — barring one or two that didn't require Google Play Services — aren't allowed.

As somebody heavily invested in Google's apps and who doesn't speak the language, all of that effort felt wasted.

I found the phone nearly unusable for day to day activity. Throughout this review, one of the aspects of the Honor 9x Pro that was exceedingly difficult to test thoroughly was this phone's connectivity. That's chiefly because this is a China-only device and that meant no bands were really accessible in the U. The company built in an app from Huawei called SkyTone.

Presumably, the intention is to enable service out-of-country, allowing businessmen and tourists alike to use the phone internationally. The Honor 9x Pro offered up a 2-hour trial for use in the U.

Honor 9X review: Fresh design and good cameras, but will it be enough?

Problematically, I was never able to attain a connection within that time span. So I couldn't test texting, phone calls, and data. NFC wasn't present either and was thus out of the question. It includes Huawei Share and Bluetooth 5. I only tested the latter of those features — Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Bluetooth connections are solid with the Honor 9x Pro and I never noticed any cut-out across at least a dozen Bluetooth devices and accessories.

Wi-Fi was similarly strong, allowing for some phone calls to be made over IP. In those cases, the audio coming through and outgoing were both solid. No anomalies to speak of were present. So, theoretically, connectivity should be brilliant. But it isn't possible to recommend the Honor 9x Pro outside of China at all. There's a very good chance the device simply won't work as a mobile phone. That's especially true in regions where the company has been outright banned or restricted. Throughout my review of the Honor 9x Pro, I only listened to audio direct from its built-in speakers one time.

That's unusual for me since I generally tend to prefer avoiding the hassle of Bluetooth headphones or plugging into the 3. The audio here was just too tinny for comfort. In fact, my first thought was that I must have received a defective unit or that it must be the audio source I was using. YouTube from the web isn't necessarily going to provide the best audio experience. But even switching to Spotify didn't improve matters and neither did switching the genre of music I was listening too.

In fairness, there is no distortion in the audio even at full volume. The speakers are loud and ringtones sound great. Regardless, the bass here has fled the scene and the mids hide behind the treble and highs, becoming utterly muddy in more complex compositions. Bluetooth fixes that entirely and connections on that front are strong. But audio on that front could best be described as "average. Juxtaposed with that, audio through the 3. Not only does the typical default mix avoid relying too heavily on thumping bass — an all too common problem with audio devices.

Everything about the listening experience is also completely customizable. If I wanted headphone audio to deliver headshaking boom in a bass-heavy song, I could make it do that. The customizability is a double-edged sword too, though. Digging into deep settings is a complex process. The maze-like array of settings covers everything from age-based to device-based fine-tuning and 3D spatial audio adjustments.

So it's a very good feature to have. Bearing that in mind, it's extensiveness is actually a caveat for those who aren't quite so dedicated.

I spent 20 minutes finalizing where I wanted audio. The time it took improved over the course of my review. But I still found myself making adjustments almost constantly, knowing I'd eventually land on the "perfect" sound. I was able to include the overwhelming majority of my thoughts on the Honor 9x Pro cameras over in my positive review.

That speaks volumes for a phone that only just finds itself out of the budget category in terms of pricing. However, there are one or two discrepancies worth noting here too. The biggest problem is the front camera. Honor packed that up with a ton of features, including all of the AI-driven AR stickers and other modes you'd expect to find. After all, it's parent company is well-known for its camera prowess. The issue arose when I tried to use the camera to unlock my phone.

Summarily the front-facing camera is slow. That's not in terms of shutter speed or in software either. The company also made sure this camera is sturdy and slips back in smoothly when it senses too much force on it. But it takes a long time to extend and activate, rendering it utterly useless for unlocking. In terms of the primary camera, I also noticed that even after a software update the bokeh effect is far grainier than I'd have liked. That's as opposed to a smooth blur of background objects. Zooming in to the full — digitally-enabled — 20x level also results in a mass of artifacts.

I can only describe pixelation at that level as "horrible. A similar effect happens in low-light conditions, albeit to a lesser degree, even with night mode turned on. Night mode, simultaneously, does a terrible job of capturing the night sky. I made an attempt to take a shot of that, and of a full moon, as is possible with the increasingly popular camera feature in modern devices. The result, even with a tripod, was a mass of blobby bright spots in a sky of obvious artifacts. In fact, artifacts were uncommon any time lighting was highly-varied, especially with strong backlighting.

The sole problem with the fingerprint scanner on the Honor 9x Pro is going to be its placement. The debate can rage about whether or not the capacitive technology used here is truly secure. There are drawbacks and advantages to every variant. What buyers typically care about seems to be how fast and accurate the sensors are and that is a complete non-issue for this device. Honor is in a predicament. This makes it good value, just keep in mind the phone is not very new, and only a small upgrade over the current Honor 9X , which comes with Google Services installed.
