The camera function of Honor 9
The Honor 9 has a 20 MP main camera that lets you take photos and videos in a quite high resolution.

The Honor 9 comes with a 8 MP pixel camera, which is a standard level. It's perfectly fine for selfies, but may be not as satisfying if you wish to take photos of large numbers of people, or make printouts.
