Verdict
The Honor 90 marks Honor’s return to India with an attractive design and a stunning display, showing us that Honor is very much ready to take on the competition. However, its inconsistent cameras and lack of stereo speakers leave you wanting more, especially in this price range.
Pros
- Sleek and attractive design
- Stunning display
- Good battery life
Cons
- Cameras have issues
- No stereo speakers
- Software support could have been better
Design and display
+
Outside India, Honor has been releasing some extremely stunning smartphones, including one I'm really hoping to see in India at some point: the Honor Magic V2 foldable. You can finally get a taste of Honor's design philosophy with the Honor 90 5G. The phone looks premium from a distance, with an elegant curved rear panel in a choice of glossy or matt finish depending on the colour option. The Emerald Green colour that we received for review has a matte finish and looks quite nice. The phone also comes in Midnight Black and Diamond Silver colour options in India.

The Honor 90 5G has a camera system that looks good on paper. You get a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP3 primary sensor with f/1.9 aperture, a 12MP ultra-wide and macro camera lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. At the front, the phone uses a 50MP camera for selfies. There is no OIS support, which is unfortunate for a phone in this price segment. You do get EIS support though.

Performance and software
+
Last year's Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition chipset powers the Honor 90 5G. We haven't seen this processor powering a lot of devices in India despite it being over a year old. In fact, the only other phone to launch with this chip in recent times is the Rs 60,000 Moto Razr 40. As far as benchmarks go, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition, which is essentially overclocked up to 2.5GHz, delivers fairly mid-range scores. On AnTuTu, the device scored over 700,000 while single-core and multi-core scores on Geekbench were 1127 and 3284, respectively. These benchmark scores are expectedly lower than the more affordable POCO F5 that's powered by the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 chipset.

Battery life
+
The Honor 90 5G packs a 5,000mAh battery that's good enough to last a full day and then some. Battery drain during typical day-to-day tasks like messaging, social media browsing, checking emails, etc., is managed efficiently thanks to the 4nm chipset. During a 30-minute BGMI gaming session, the battery dropped by around 5 per cent, with little to no noticeable heating throughout. In our PCMark battery test, the phone lasted roughly 12 hours, which isn't the best in its segment, but is quite decent.
