Honor is all set to unveil a new smartphone on 21 December which it calls the Honor 9 Youth Edition in an event in China. The information was spotted on Honor’s official Weibo account and the device will most probably be a toned down version of the **Honor 9**.

It could be said that the Honor 9 Youth has a design more resembling the recently launched **Honor 9i**. The device, like the Honor 9i and Honor 9, will reportedly sport a dual camera system on the back. It will also feature a dual-camera system on the front, a feature which was again present in the Honor 9i and not in the Honor 9.

The device will be powered by Huawei’s HiSilicon Kirin 659 processor and is expected to have 3 GB and 4 GB RAM variants with 32 GB and 64 GB internal storage respectively. The device may come in colour choices like black, white, blue and grey, says the report. The 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage is reportedly priced at CNY 1,299 (approx Rs 13,000) and the 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage is rumoured to be around CNY 1,599 (approx Rs 16,000). This is not the first time that Honor has launched a Youth version of its device. Back in February, the Huawei sub-brand launched the Honor 8 Youth Edition which was a toned down version of the **Honor 8** smartphone launched last year.
