Huawei presents phone with 4000mAh battery in 7mm-thin housing

Huawei has presented the Honor V9 in China. The phone has a 4000mAh battery in a housing that is just under 7mm thick. The Honor V9 also has a dual camera that is capable of making 3D models, the manufacturer claims.

Making 3d models is possible because the two camera lenses can estimate the depth of images and can thus sketch the image in 3d, as can be concluded from the information about the phone. The Leica brand that Huawei did put on the P9 and Mate 9 is missing from the phone. It is about two 12-megapixel sensors with an f/2.2 lens in front. The front camera has a maximum resolution of eight megapixels and an f/2.0 lens.

The device has a 5.7″ LCD with a resolution of 2560×1440 pixels. Huawei uses the same Kirin 960-soc in the V9 as in the Mate 9, with four Cortex A73 cores at 2.4GHz and four A53 cores at 1 .8GHz, paired with an ARM Mali G71MP8 GPU and 6GB of lpddr4 memory, with a storage size of 64GB.

The Android phone is 157x77mm in size and 6.97mm thick. The phone weighs 184 grams. It will go on sale in China next week for converted from around 360 euros. Whether and when the phone will come to the Benelux is still unknown. The predecessor Honor V8 did not come out of this.

Huawei also announced its first 360-degree camera. The Honor VR camera supports live streaming and recording with ‘3k’ resolution, but the manufacturer has not disclosed any details about the device. Huawei made the camera together with manufacturer Insta360.
