Honor 9A, Honor Choice TWS Earbuds, and Honor MagicBook 14 launch in Europe with “VIP Day” promotions

Huawei sub-brand Honor today launched the entry-level Honor 9A smartphone, MagicBook 14, and Choice TWS earphones for the European region during a live stream event. Along with new launches, the company has also announced discounts under the “VIP days” along with benefits under the VIP membership program.

Honor 9A

Starting with the smartphone release of the day, the Honor 9A was originally unveiled in China in March this year. The phone runs on Magic UI 3.1 (a rebrand of EMUI 10.1) based on Android 10 but comes with HMS Core instead of GMS Core as a result of the trade ban imposed on Huawei by the U.S. The smartphone comes with Huawei’s App Gallery as a replacement to the Google Play Store.

Internally, the Honor 9A is powered by a MediaTek MT6765 SoC and along with 3GB of RAM. It features 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded by up to 512GB using a microSD card. A key highlight of the smartphone is that it is equipped with a 5,000mAh battery. Unlike the Chinese variant, that comes with dual rear cameras, Honor 9A’s global variant features triple cameras on the back including a 13MP primary camera, a 5MP wide-angle, and a 2MP macro camera.

The Honor 9A will be priced at €149.90 (~$170) for the 3GB/64GB variant and will be available across multiple platforms including Amazon and the company’s global store starting July 1st.

Honor MagicBook 14 is a portable laptop powered by AMD’s Ryzen 5 3500U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB PCIe SSD storage. As the name suggests, it comes with a 14-inch “FullView” display with slim bezels and weighs only 1.38kg. The MagicBook 14 comes with a 65W charger.
