Honor 90

Design

At the launch event, Honor Labs revealed that the HONOR 90 exudes class and elegance. The design of this device is inspired by haute couture and luxury jewellery. This device is 7.8 mm thin and weighs only 183g. The Honor 90's body is not only smooth but its edges are also very round. This gives it a sleek feel that makes it easier to hold. On the display, Honor uses a Deeply Reinforced Glass that offers protection against sudden falls and gives users some sort of confidence. At the rear, HONOR 90 features the iconic N Series classic Dual Ring Design. The round element with exact cutting tech gives this device an excellent appearance that adds to the elegance of the device.

Display – offers a sleek viewing experience

On the display end, this device comes with a 6.7-inch Quad-Curved Floating Display with a high resolution of 2664 x 1200. The display also supports 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut and up to 1.07 billion colours. With a high adaptive refresh rate of 120Hz, the display is super fast and can automatically adjust with respect to the use condition. This is a power-saving feature that is used in flagship mobile phones in both the android and iOS camps.

The company reveals that this combination will bring visual content to life in stunning colours and clarity. In terms of brightness, this device has 1600 nits brightness which allows it to be readable even in very bright conditions.  With HDR10+ support and HDR certifications from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, the HONOR 90 ensures users can enjoy an exceptional multimedia experience in any setting.

The Honor 90 also comes with TÜV Rheinland's Flicker Free Certification and achieves a risk-free dimming level. The display also supports the industry's highest Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Dimming frequency of 3840Hz, effectively minimizing the strain it puts on users' eyes when it is set at low brightness. Furthermore, this device comes with the Dynamic Dimming that mimicks natural light. This helps to eliminate eye fatigue. Another tech used in this device is the HONOR's Circadian Night Display tech. This helps to filter blue light and brings a natural melatonin secretion. It helps to improve user sleep quality at night.

Processor & Battery – a matching combination

With high performance comes high power consumption. However, Honor did a decent balancing on this device. This mobile phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition. This chip has a 20% better GPU and 30% better AI performance compared to its predecessor. With this improvement in performance, the company packs a  large 5000mAh battery on this device to support all-day use. On a single charge, the mobile phone can provide up to 19.5 hours of continuous local video streaming. With the Honor 66W SuperCharge, users can get a 45% charge in just 15 minutes. The charging power does not lead to heating, many thanks to its 147% larger vapor chamber. This gives an efficient heat dissipation that allows the HONOR 90 to stay cool.

Camera

The triple camera system consists of a 200MP Main Camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor, a 12 MP ultra-wide and macro camera with a 112° field of view, and a 2MP Depth Camera that helps the camera accurately gauge distance. The 200MP Main Camera produces excellent high dynamic range (HDR) photos and detailed, bright shots in low light situations. It also supports multi-frame fusion, a noise reduction algorithm and pixel binning. This helps it to achieve a light-capturing performance.

The camera of this device also supports the new Portrait Mode. This includes the 2X zoom portraits to deliver imaging results that better highlight the subject in the frame. Honor assures users of exceptional portraits with the new portrait mode upgrade which gives well-defined facial features, accurate skin tones and an authentic bokeh effect.

For selfies, there is a stunning 50MP camera. Regarding the camera of this device, Honor Labs said the Honor 90 is “an ideal choice for budding and seasoned content creators”. The company also said the device will help vloggers streamline their workflows. The device uses AI for video denoising as well as for AI Vlog Assistant. Honor claims that with this device, users can create a social media-ready 15-second video with just a few taps.
