Two worlds that meet: that of smartphones and that of jewelry. The result: a lot of shine and a lot of glamor. This is how we could define in a few words the Honor 90. Of course, this mobile phone offers us many more interesting things, details that we are going to analyze in the following paragraphs.
Before starting, we warn that this is not a luxury item with an exorbitant sales price. The proposal that the Honor 90 brings us is that of a mid-range mobile with good performance, Light and easy to use. With an elegant finish that captivates the eye, but affordable for most budgets.
Screen and aesthetics
To analyze the Honor 90 you have to start from the outside in. And we are talking about one of the most beautiful smartphones that we can currently find. The aesthetic section (it is a design inspired by jewelry haute couture) has been especially cared for, with details as charming as the curved screen or frosted glass on the back, very pleasant to the touch.
Now focusing on the screen, we find a 6,7-inch OLED panel that, thanks to a 120 Hz refresh rate, works very fluidly. Images are sharp and precise, with excellent brightness quality. It has dynamic light adjustment and blue night light, among other things.
Eye protection is ensured by the 3.840 Hz PWM dimming system (unique on the market). This technology also corrects image distortion, providing the visual quality that is needed. All this adds up to configure a quality screen, ideal for enjoying videos and images.
To add a drawback, it must be noted that the only external speaker falls a little short. It's not that it doesn't work well, but maybe it doesn't live up to the quality of the visual section.
Good performance and autonomy
The heart of this beautiful mobile is a processor Snapdragon 7 Gen1, launched on the market in 2022 and which is synonymous with good performance. The fluidity with which the Honor 90 responds is the best proof of this. Not only does it not lag in touch responses, but it also does not get hot after many hours of use (all thanks to its intelligent AI thermal management system). That makes this smartphone a good option for those who use their mobile to play.
There are two different versions of the Honor 90. The simplest has 8 GB of RAM and a storage capacity of 256 GB; The higher version has 12 GB and 512 GB of storage. Both combinations are quite balanced and ensure correct processing.
La 5.000 mAh battery It is another of the strong points of this mobile. It offers ample autonomy: according to the manufacturer, it is capable of lasting up to 20 hours watching videos locally, but with normal moderate use you can go up to three days without charging it. We must also mention the possibility of carrying out a fast charge using a cable of up to 66 W.
Ultra-sharp 200 MP camera
Another reason to look favorably on this Honor 90 is its panoply of cameras, which is slightly above average. In addition, the application offers many options to get the most out of them. By investing a little time exploring all the possibilities, you can obtain very high level captures.
The main camera has a 200 MP sensor. It does not offer mechanical stabilization (OIS), but it does offer electronic stabilization (EIS). The rest of the rear cameras have a 12 MP wide angle with f/2.2 aperture and 112º viewing angle and a 2 MP depth camera. As for the front camera, it is a 50 MP sensor.
In summary, we could say that the Honor 90 is a mobile phone that attracts attention for its aesthetics, but whose technical characteristics do not disappoint. It may not be the best on the market in its segment, but it is one of the most balanced models.
