Honor 90: should you buy?

The Honor 90 stands out for its sleek and attractive design, stunning display and good battery life as we’ve explained in our detailed review. The phone has a glass back and comes in a polycarbonate frame. The phone’s cameras, however, have issues in low light and lack of OIS support. The Honor 90 does come with a largely clean software experience in India, but Honor could have offered better software support. While the phone does offer a decent overall performance, considering its price point it could have offered much more.
