Honor 90 Review: A New Standard in Midrange Aesthetics
Renowned for its commitment to cutting-edge technology and stylish design, Honor has consistently captured the attention of tech enthusiasts. The Honor 90 is the newest addition to the brand. Although the phone was released on June 07 in China, it will be launched officially in India on September 15, 2023. Our comprehensive review aims to determine whether the Honor 90 truly embodies the ideal all-in-one package.
Key Features of Honor 90
Design and Display
The Honor 90 smartphone comes with a striking design and an impressive display that steals the spotlight. The centerpiece is its attractive 6.7-inch 2664×1200 AMOLED display, evidence of where the bulk of the phone's investment has gone.
With a remarkable peak brightness of 1600 nits and vibrant color reproduction, the screen remains remarkably legible even under bright sunlight, rendering it perfect for on-the-go content consumption. The curved edges and minimal bezels contribute to an astounding 90.8% screen-to-body ratio, providing an immersive viewing experience.

One of the Honor 90's standout features is its 3840 Hz PWM dimming technology, designed to reduce eye strain and enhance viewing comfort. This, coupled with the phone's eye-comfort mode, gradually minimizing blue light emissions, underlines Honor's commitment to user well-being.
Despite the large display, the Honor 90 surprises with its manageable weight of just 183g, making one-handed usage remarkably effortless. However, the sole bottom-firing speaker can't match the audio experience of dual-firing setups.
On the design front, the camera module's peculiar arrangement has drawn mixed reactions, with two large circles adding a distinct flair. The available color options – Emerald Green, Midnight Black, Peacock Blue, and Diamond Silver – provide choices to suit various tastes.

Cameras
The camera capabilities of the Honor 90 have undergone a significant upgrade, complementing the phone's remarkable display. The standout feature is the impressive 200MP main sensor, a substantial leap from its predecessor's 58MP counterpart.
While the ultra-wide camera has transitioned to a 12MP sensor and the 2MP depth sensor remains unchanged, it's important to note that megapixels alone don't dictate photo quality, as evidenced by Google's Pixel 7a with a 64 MP main sensor.
