Honor 90

Technical specifications

I have had this phone for about a week. The user interface is practically a 1:1 copy of Huawei's EMUI. It is interesting that the cloning applications only have different names. The one from Huawei works with the one from Honor. Digital image stabilization is somewhat disappointing for this price; if you want to achieve better results, you have to put in more effort. I have the 12/512GB version; the Snapdragon processor inside perhaps reached its performance limits only once while processing a 200mpx photo in Lightroom, and these photos turn out quite well in good lighting. The screen is outstanding. I was looking for a replacement for the P30 model and I am relatively satisfied, I only miss the previously mentioned OIS, but for special tasks, I have a DSLR camera. The back is made of plastic, but I do not consider this a disadvantage; it is pleasant to the touch and at least it will not break.

The phone is fast and responsive, but its theoretical greatest advantage, which was supposed to be the camera, is not an advantage. It takes average photos that do not stand out in any way in this price range and sometimes even fall behind competing models. It does not have any stabilization.

I have been using the Honor 90 for 6 months, so I have already gathered some experience. Starting with what the phone is used for, namely calls, SMS, and MMS, it is very good. Voice call quality is perfect as long as the network of the person you are talking to supports the HD standard and they have a phone with this feature. Only the built-in SMS/MMS application is weak. Internet and 5G network support are perfect in good conditions and coverage. I managed to achieve test transfer speeds of over 700 Mb/s. The camera takes good photos, and the image stabilization is useful, but it only works for videos. Photos taken against the light come out perfectly. The battery lasts 48 h. The AMOLED screen is bright and has smooth brightness adjustment. Performance is very good; it does not experience freezes or delays. The Snapdragon 7 is sufficient.
