Just last month, Europe released the Honor V9 and it is also known as the Honor 8 Pro as the global model name. Now after weeks of waiting, it seems that the phone is finally coming into Malaysia after a tip we got from Mr Anonymous.

Today, the Honor announced in China the new Honor V9, alongside the Honor 8 Lite. With specs rivalling that of the Huawei Mate 9, it comes at a lower price, but, not without some cut-down specifications, such as retaining last year’s dual 12MP rear camera instead of the newer 20MP+12MP combo.

Prices start from 2599 Yuan (around RM1685) for the 4GB/64GB upwards to 3499 Yuan (around RM2266) for the top end 6GB/128GB model.

Last week, we reported that Honor could release an international variant of the Honor V9 as the Honor V8 Pro, but now we got some new rumours that instead of being called the V8 Pro, it will be called as the V8 Lite.
