Honor 9 Records Almost 4 Million registrations Ahead of First Sale Tomorrow

It's crazy that they were able to get nearly 4 million preorder registrations. I didn't realize that it was this popular in China.

If you look at phones and sales trends through out the world. Flagship phones only make up a small percentage of a companies revenue from phone sales. Couple that with the U.S. being one of the only countries that does payments via carriers for phones. it makes perfect since for a phone of this quality to draw this much attention die to the amazing price point.

Also most people don't realize that most of the world can't afford flagship phones at all. The iPhone is a great example, does amazing sales in the U.S. and a few other 1st world countries and that's it. Not alot of people can afford the hefty price tag.

Here in the U.S. people are more concerned about price over features, if it was the other way around Apple wouldn't be that popular at all. it all comes down to our materialistic nature of always having to have the most expensive. Most dumb Americans associate quality with price.

I would consider the honor 9 as honor's flagship phone.

But i would agree though... There are times when paying more doesn't necessarily mean that you are getting better quality

I would consider it thier flagship, but what people are use to is a 650+ price tag with all the bells and whistles. That's what flagship are viewed as most often, and it's unfortunate.

There are many great phones out there but people assume that be sure the axon 7 is only 350 it's a crap phone. The honor 8 was on my 400, it's a crap phone. When I reality they asre both amazing devices, I was asked more about my honor than any other phone I have owned.

I would like to see companies like honor work with carriers so that they can get their devices to more people

That was true before around the time the OnePlus one was released... Sub $600 phones just sucked.

I would love to try a lot of these phones that are popular outside the US. Most of them are not compatible with Verizon or lose features.
