The Honor 9 Lite comes with not just one, but two dual-camera setups, one up front and the other in the rear. Its camera systems come with a primary 13-megapixel shooter, as well as a secondary 2-megapixel sensor. This will allow users to shoot portrait mode with the famed bokeh effect through either of the front or rear cameras.
