Do you think the Honor 9 will come to the US?

[pkcable]

Folks,

As we know the Honor 8 is available in the US and a pretty good deal at 400 dollars (and often discounted for less). It's fully compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile. Now the Honor 9 is a whole different story. You CAN import one, but it does NOT have the US LTE bands, and it costs just a bit under 500. Not worth it in my opinion, BUT if it came to the US with US LTE bands, is it then worth it? Or is it still not worth the extra price? Or do you think the price will come down?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I would love to have one but with Mate 10 so close to launch, I would put my money on Mate 10.

I think at this point I don't think Honor is going to be profitable selling Honor 9 here in the US.

It doesn't look good at the moment since even the international ones don't have usa lte. They would have to create a new one for the usa

I think Huawei said they won't release it in US. bummer

 

[Djlarocca]

Yeah it's looking less and less likely.

 

[Aljean Thein]

It's sad

 

[dpham00]

Yeah it is. And the longer nothing happens.. The less likely something will happen

Hopefully Honor 10 will come to the states

I hope so too. Maybe they will skip the 9 and go to the 10

That's what I'm hoping

You might be onto something there.

Honor 9 is few months old now. I'd rather wait for the 10 than release the 9

It also depends on what Huawei has in store for the honor 10.

Looks like it will be officially announced soon.

Is the V10 the same as the honor 10?

 

[Aljean Thein]

When the Honor V9 came out, it was also named the Honor 8 series. So the V10 should be the Honor 9 if following that trend names.

Oh i didn't know that. That was very informative!

 

[Aljean Thein]

I don't get why they have so many different model names.

Well they are trying to cover different types of perspective buyer. It's a good idea but in practice I think it confuses people

Honor V9 was Honor 8 Pro (with a different design and purpose than the Honor 8) I also guess that the V10 will be a higher powered version of the Honor 9 that follows the Honor 8 Pro purposes.
