Honor also introduced the new Honor Band 9 model at the launch where it introduced the Magic 6 Ultimate and Magic 6 RSR Porsche Design models. Honor, one of the assertive brands in the smart bracelet market, skipped Band 8 and came out with the Band 9 model.

Honor Band 9 features and price
With the Honor Band 9 introduced at the launch, the screen size increased from 1.47 to 1.57 inches compared to Band 7. Honor currently stands out in the smart bracelet market with its large-screen models. Band 9 has raised this bar to smart watch screen size. However, it is also necessary to know that this screen is not wider than a smart watch, but longer. This is one of the elements that distinguishes the Band 9 model from smart watch design.
This large AMOLED screen has a resolution of 402 x 256 pixels, 302 ppi pixel precision and a 60Hz refresh rate. In addition to the screen being much larger than the old model, its curved structure has also enabled it to have a much more stylish design. There is a metal-coated plastic surface around the smart bracelet. It is a matter of curiosity whether this metal coating will lift off during use.
Despite this increase in the model screen, it has a 14-day battery life like the Honor Band 7. This battery life is 10 days in normal use, just like the old model.

Additionally, a new health application called Fitness Age also appears with Honor Band 9. Fitness Age, as its name suggests, is an application that measures your health age.
