Honor 9A | Unboxing & Full Tour | £129 Budget Phone

Unboxing the Honor 9A smartphone, with a full tour of the specs, test of the performance and camera tech, and a look at the HMS ecosystem. You don't get Google services and apps on this budget phone, as with other 2020 Huawei and Honor handsets. However, the Honor 9A does still allow you to download apps from the App Gallery, Amazon's App Store, and APK sites.

If you don't mind the lack of Google action, this could be one of the best cheap mobiles right now for under £150. Those specs are pretty good, with smooth performance provided by a Mediatek Helio 22 chipset. Plus you get impressive battery life, thanks to the huge 5000mAh battery and energy efficient internals.

Of course the camera tech is very basic at best, capturing simple photos and up to Full HD video. It'll do the job for quick shareable shots and that's about it.

So are you tempted by the Honor 9A? I've reviewed the best budget smartphones that you can buy in 2020, under £200 - so check that out for more ideas. And if you have a bit more cash, you can splash out on the Honor 9X and other mobiles instead for improved performance and camera hardware.
