Huawei announced the Honor 9 in China on Monday. A separate European event will take place in Berlin, Germany on June 27 and sales will start three days after.

Yet pre-orders have already started in Finland, where the 4 GB RAM version with 64 GB internal storage can be booked €499. The mightier 6 GB RAM + 128 GB internal storage option goes for €599.





Mika Engblom, Consumer Unit Director at Huawei Finland, says the phone lands so early in the country because of Honor’s popularity among Finns.

The new flagship comes with a better chipset, greater cameras, and larger battery than the Honor 8. The Honor 9 runs the Android 7.0 Nougat with latest EMUI 5.1 on top.

The colors available are Seagull Grey and Charm Sea Blue.
