Honor India has refreshed the Honor 9N lineup with the addition of two new colour variants to the already existing ones. The brand has disclosed via a recent tweet that a Lavender Purple & Robin Egg Blue variant of the 9N will be available on Flipkart as from next Monday, September 17.

Already, the  Honor 9N is available in Midnight Black and Sapphire Blue. These two new colours definitely bring some added beauty to the model and it gives buyers more options to choose from. The tweet made no mention of the storage options that the new colour variants would be available. The Honor 9N comes in 3GB and 4GB variants and we assume the colours will come in all the memory versions. The prices are also undisclosed but we don’t expect the two new colour variants to be priced higher than the existing ones.
