Despite the single speaker and lack of OIS I'd still choose the Honor 90 over anything Samsung has to offer at this price.
I would do the same better than say the Samsung A series phones.
Over the Samsung A54 even????? 😮
@@seansmith6473yess
@@seansmith6473 Yeah I think so!
@@amirohon2362 YuP!
I bought this phone with silver white colour and it comes with 12gb ram and 512gb storage with extra free honor 2 lite earbuds , free honor case ( not silicone transparent tpu case that also included inside the box) and + 6 special warranty.
here's my conclusion
Pros:
1. The Pwm dimming seriously reduce my eye strain and dizziness ( i came from samsung s21+ user). The highest pwm dimming in any smartphone currently.
2. The screen to body ratio is amazing and u will feel an immersive feeling screen, i understand some people prefer flat screen rather than curved edges, but this one doesn't feel like those curved display.
3. Battery Is Excellent 5000Mah lasted me 2 days of medium usage unless you are playing mobile games 24h.
4. Camera is Excellent and i enjoyed using it more than my s21+.
5. Oh and the Display Amoled was just stunning with 6.7 inches, 108.9 cm2 (~90.8% screen-to-body ratio)
Resolution: 1200 x 2664 pixels (~435 ppi density) that's great.
6. And the speaker quality, i understand its a single speaker rather than stereo, but i found out the audio quality is very loud and good, doesn't feel cheap at all.
7. Lastly the design quality and feel this is the best so far speaking from my hands size point of view.. no sharp edges under my thumbs when texting which mean for one medium handed user this could be a good phone for you.
Cons:
1. No ip rating a splash of water is fine but not on a super heavy rain condition
2. Chipset could be better but for daily use and gaming it is fine but don't expect 60hz + on ultra setting on genshin impact but mobile legends is fine with ultra setting
Conclusion of all these:
1. Buy it if you like minimalist light body
2. Buy it if you like to take care of your eyes and viewing health and i do recommend this phone
3. Buy it if you like High end features and premium phone but with moderate budget
4. Buy it if you like to view content on any platform such as youtube/twitch etc
5. Buy it if you like photography Not the best like iphone 14 pro max but it is excellent for my eyes
6. Avoid this phone if stereo speaker is what you wanted for
7. Avoid this phone if you want wireless charging
8. Avoid this phone if you want certified IP rated phone
Thanks i hope this help on making your choice
Wow great write up thank you. This will be useful for possible buyers, some useful info. I didn't list the lack of IP rating or wireless charging as a con myself due to it being a midrange phone and the price.
How are the haptics on this phone?
Not that good for typing, But for notifications and calls Is good
Hello. Does the phone get warm during daily usage except gaming period?
Haptics are okay, nothing amazing a standard vibration.
Thank you! Been waiting for your review even though I've watched a lot of others. Your reviews keep it simple and accurate! Great job and keep up the great work!
Glad you like them! And thanks for waiting as I know I'm a bit late with this one but got a lot of daily use with it at least on my 5 day trip up north last week!
The high Pulse width modulation and reduced blue light exposure put this on another level.
Sure does enough to shame most flagship phones if not all of them with such a high pwm rate.
@@Techtablets yup
Exactly 💯 @@Techtablets
We appreciate your reviews. Keep working hard.
I appreciate that!
thank you for the review, i saw a lot of videos from the launch of the honor 90 and you are the only content creator that mentioned the 15 minutes shooting limit of the 4k videos! This type of details are very important even if this isn't a flagship phone, i really appreciated you mentioning it.
Between the honor 90 and the vivo v27/v27 pro that are in the same price and specs range, which one is the best option camera wise? does vivo have a shooting limit with videos too?
If I recall correctly the Vivo doesn't have that limit. And I think it's main camera was better. However this has the better UI and screen.
I really like that there’s no aggressive digital sharpening on the video recording which is rare on phones nowadays…this is more camera like❤️
Honor 90, I'll buy one of this for real for real. I like the camera look at the back.. So sleek.. . The game changer
Another interesting and informative review.
How do you have that control center, I got this device but comes with the MacicOS control center, I want the old version too
A better design would be to put a reflective mirror around the camera lens & then try to hide led in one of the cut outs
Honor or any other phone at this price considering your tests ?
Honor 90 still my top tier midranger devices even though no stereo speaker. Else just excellent!
😂😂
@@Bromos9 the fff bro why u LOL 🤣
I got one for my wife. Screen is amazing for a midranger, battery is ok, camera is good overall, but struggles with indoor and low light situations. After the last update, camera shutter seems to be more snappy.
Overall, solid midranger. Stable performance and nice looks.
When the flashlight is on. It only lights up the top half of the ring. If you're kind enough to let me know if your wife's does the same? I'm not sure whether this is normal or not
@@dannypickering9138 seems like the led is at the top of the ring. Same here.
Same here, it's because it's in the top only. I also thought the whole thing should light up. But that's how it is.
Hi , how's it now ?
Good bro I was waiting for this.
Glad you liked it
I own Samsung j7 prime since 2017 and honor 9 lite since 2019 both brand is good bcuz i use my both phone roughly but still they look as good as new just no more updates on j7 prime cus its pace out already
But now they got heating issue both while gaming even the simple games
What's its IP rating. I do a lot of hiking in all kinds of weather conditions
1000th like ❤ from 🇮🇳
Soon it gonna launch here with GMS ..✨✨✨
honor 90 or realme 11 pro+? which is better for 4k movies and photo taking?
I can't decide between this or redmi note 13 pro plus. The prices are same in my country.
In the UK, the clear case and charger aren't included. The lack of the case is a big pain as the camera bumps get in my way when holding it. The cover would even that out.
I received mine yesterday and I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with a clear case.
I got my first Honor (Honor 20) back in early 2020, and I have loved it ever since. I only switched to iPhone (unfortunately) because of the security and software updates, but to be honest, I still use it every day for work because, let’s face it, iPhone for work? that’s a joke.
Brother, honor 90 prices in Singapore, plz tell you
Nice review mate !
Do you mind do one for OnePlus Nord 3 too ?
Thanks
Sorry no plans to buy that one.
Nice review mate. Big thumbs up to honor make a very good phone with nearly flagship specs. Should have included OIS and dual speaker.
It is in pro version
Ur the best at reviews
Hi, I was planning to buy this phone, but I heard two negative things about this phone that you didn't mention. First, the battery is not good. Second, it gets too hot while playing the game. What do you think?
Tell us something about Honor 90 Pro if its coming to UK soon. That one have stereo speakers!
Mr. Does it comes with Google services? Google play
I have used honor 70 since its released. It's a great phone, still using now, and I'm wondering how this honor 90 might be better than my 70.
Camera is better, processor, screen
so excited
I want to upgrade from the iPhone XS Max, can someone give me a piece of advice ?
Hi! I'd really appreciate your input on this. Between the HONOR 70 and HONOR 90, I'm looking for the one that offers the best overall performance, user interface, camera quality, and overall experience. Price isn't a concern for me. So, in your opinion, which one would you recommend, the HONOR 70 or the HONOR 90? Your insights would be a huge help. Thanks a lot!
This is also interesting to me. Please, answer.
Excelentes fotografías de Santillana del Mar, Cabárceno, y Castro Urdiales. 👍🏻
Lo siento, no pude resistir este comentario en español.
About the Honor 90... I'd prefer Poco F5 in this price range. Yes, despite MIUI. It's my story, full of love and hate with this thing.
Gracias. Si el Poco F5 es otra opción
Does it have Dolby Audio and Vision ?
Which one is better? This one or Vivo29?
Amazing review, I believe I will get this one.
Good choice!
Does Android Auto work?
On Honor 70 Android Auto does not work at all, and I have read some comments that it does not work on Honor 90 :(
Honor 90 (256 GB) or OnePlus Nord 3 (128 GB)? Same price more or less
Why does all upper mid to flagship have no headphone jack 😑 That's a deal breaker for me
Please make a review soon of the Honor Magic V2.
Yes I plan to if they do send me one. Crossing my fingers they do!
@@Techtablets Great! Gonna look forward for that.
Hopefully it happens!
@@orangebutblue Cool!
Is there any flicker? ;)
Aesthetics wise, this makes Zenfone 10 its compact version ...
Is it better than the s22/23?
Vivo v27 or honor 90 ?
i bought this phone after checking your review but 1 problem tho, phone sometimes is lagging when im using camera, worst when i shoot video with bokeh. it is my phone issue or what. Really frustated.
Is the Xiaomi 13T better than this?
Honor 90 vs oppo reno 11 [normal version] which is better?
Could you please do a comparison between Vivo v29 and Honor 90?
Obviously honor 90 Win
Does the 7 gen 1 have the same heat issue as the 8 gen 1?
HI, no nothing of a sort as shown in the video the thermals are very good no throttling.
Hey man! I never heard reviewers said anything about haptic feedback, Does it feels like flagship? Please let me know
A standard buzz pulse nothing special.
@@Techtablets Thank you so much, what a great fast response, I'd like to subscribe,anyway Can you do for realme 11 pro plus next time? Thanks
No plans to cover it.
which one is better to buy the moto edge plus 2022 or honor 90..pls advice
If you're in the US then the edge+ for the simple reason of connectivity. I'd wait for the edge+ 23 to go on sale. The OnePlus 11 is the only other import with dedicated US connectivity and id choose it over the Moto.
Honor 90 or realme 11 pro?
hello can you do the review of IQOO 11S please ?
Sure if they send me one.
Good review. Would you recommend the Honor 90 over the Motorola edge 40 or not?
Okay so this has a larger battery, better screen and more RAM plus better chipset. However the Edge 40 has IP rating and OIS on the main 50MP camera. So it depends on what need.
@@Techtablets Who would you prefer for the cameras?
Thank you Chris. Are you going to review nothing 2 or not?
No plans to buy that Nothing Phone 2 sorry.
@@Techtablets why tho
hye chris.. would u suggest which affordable ex flagship smartphones that support video out
tq so much
Samsung's Galaxy series, Huawei's Mate and P series all support video out.
Many cons for 500Euros phone, 400 Euros is reasonable. Chris, big support.
399 pounds right now for the 512GB version. Not sure if the rest of us get that deal.
@@Techtablets Not yet,Chris. In Croatia we have only ver. 8/256 for 550€ with Honor Pad X8. Very bad.
Can you share the wallpaper
How is the signal strength with this brand? Do they get the good huawei tech?
It's fine no issues.
@@Techtablets thanks. Signal strength better than Xiaomi for example? I am in a rural area so need to find the best performer.
If Huawei ever gets back Google services back, oh boy... I can see them as the go to brand for phones in the mid range and above.
Same here! If they do they will be back on top in a matter of a year or less.
honor is still huawei. look at the phone both hardware and software, it is huawei with google!
Honor = huawei with gms 😅
Honor is no longer owned by hauwei and became it's own standoff brand
They are fighting Huawei because its a threat to iPhone political warfare.
Why isn't there a charger and a case in the box in Europe?
Planning to upgrade from honor play to honor 90
How significant will this upgrade be?
None
Have you experienced any stuttering in the video recording before? I have experienced it alot on this phone
I remember many years ago honor trying to pass off some canon photos as their new phone photos but got found out... looking at this phone I think they have got something canon should copy because these really do beat some low end dslr's.....
I guess this fiasco was about Huawei P9
Can you possibly review Motorola Edge 40? Thanks!
No plans to buy it sorry. I can't get everything and if company will not send me a loan unit well then that's the end of it.
@@Techtablets No worries, thanks for great content and all the effort you put into it!
This phone camera video recording is the rival of Samsung galaxy A54 because the footage very stable like on the A54
It is very stable you get 4k30, unfortunately not 4k60 for some reason.
Honor 90 or Samsung a54???
I have been using one for a few days and this definitely needs a update there is far too many animations issues apps not loading battery life is bad , camera is slow , actually seems like a step down from honor 70
Battery isn't quite as expected yes, 6-7 hours at best at 120hz others can do more. I've not had issue with the animations. Camera, especially low light could be better (as mentioned in my review here)
@Techtablets If I set it to 60hz to save battery...If I use 4k video recording will it affect the performance for shooting?
@unholydonutsI sold the phone took a loss but not much moved on to s21 fe which is even worse gone back to using a iPhone Still waiting for a decent priced android I don’t need all the top spec decent battery,display and regular updates
Hi all, I've been wondering whether your country familiar with the brand vivo? Because in mine I am having hard time to choose between Honor 90 and Vivo V29 as they are within the same price range, I like both but I don't really know which one is more suitable for me and how to choose 😭
Yes I review a lot of Vivo phones and covered the V29. I prefer this model but both are very similar in style and features.
@@Techtablets I see. Thanks for responding! But why do you prefer this model over V29? Just wanna know what is the better thing Honor 90 offers cause I am getting the phone soonnn
HIGH VALUE FEATURES:
Fast-charging✓
Incredible screen✓
3850 hrtz PWM dimming✓
Reduced blue light✓
Sleek lightweight build✓
Performance exceeds price
4k 60 VIDEO
OIS
LOW VALUE FEATURES:
IP ratings
Wireless charging
Dual speakers
Gorilla glass
Seriously if you value these features over this outstanding screen at this price then i don't know what to say.
The Honor 90 checks off alot of boxes. I think for heavy content viewing this phone is a must. No OIS and 4k 60 kinda sucks though.
I feel they should have gone with a more powerful yet affordable Mediatek Dimensity 8100. More bang for the buck and that would have allowed for 4k 60 video. The chip is older so it's doubtful it would have raised the price much.
Good job. Looking for Xiaomi civi 3😅
Maybe
New subscriber here 🖑 Please review Honor 100 & 100 pro soon.🤗
Pls can i asking you
Which one is better honor 90 or poco f5 pro
Since i haven't used the Poco F5 pro i can't say sorry.
honor 90
Security updates for 2 years, yeah worth buying it 😅
Face unlock is awesome. Photos are a bit soft.
Hi, it is and the fingerprint reader works really well. Photos, well in some areas they would do with a few tweaks.
Looks a good phone if you're not a gamer. Would recommend it to older relatives etc. 4k in all 3 cameras for this price point is very rare, you can get this phone for 399 pounds at the moment in the UK for the 512GB version. That single speaker and poor GPU is what would let it down for me personally, but still good for that price. Great review Chris
399 pounds for the 512GB is a very good deal indeed. When I was working on this video I was factoring in 499, but now it's 399 even better!
For older relatives 😂😂😂😂😂 Gamers using PC not phones mate. Not every gamer needs gayish iphone or shitty samsung 🤮
Where from ? Thanks
@@YousafKhan-uw4lr honor website lol
@@deemax0 😂😂😂 Well yeah I game on my PC and PS5 that's in only mobile games I play are to test these mobiles out for their performance and throttling.
I bought it in India..... Its been very good ❤
Does it heat or lag in normal use ????
Which one have best camera on this same price range of 400 euros???
S22FE?
Why manufacturer is doing those shitty stuff, you don't even allow 4K60 while the chipset can clearly deliver and now you're also allowing 15mns only for 4K30, while a Poco X3 since 2020 can do it with no problem with a weaker chipset.
Good Lord!
Thank you for this review sir Chris. Was waiting for this one a lot.
Thanks for waiting I know I'm two almost 3 weeks after the launch. Yes odd choices to not allow more than 15 minutes yet it doesn't throttle at all this chipset and no 4k60. If I was to guess it's because they would want you to buy the magic 5 Pro instead.
😢 No 4k60 and no dual loudspeakers
@@seansmith6473 No lacking that not sure why, hopefully software update adds 4k60.
My Honor 90 is charging slow... Is there away to activate fast charging?
Doesn't sound right. Must be faulty charger? You are using the original one I assume?
@@Techtablets Thanks Chris! It was in fact the original cable was faulty and after testing it with my tablets cable it now wants to fast charge
Wow.... Awsome camera for price...
switching from a s10e to this and it's so tragic that my old phone can do 4k60, has dual speaker
Yes the 4k60 I think they can add. But the lack of dual loudspeakers what a shame.
This. Phone Can easily last for next four years without any issues n beat most mid-range phones even then..provided one doesn't drop it.. How am I predicting this thanks to my super honor view 20...still performs top notch when though bottom screen is cracked 😂
My honor 8x still works well after 4 years
Yea mine was like 5 yrs
Very good Smartphone
Would you choose an Honor 90 or samsung s22 ?
This because I hate the exynos.
@Techtablets what about the honor vs the xiaomi 12 ?
Is honor 90 better than samsung a54 for casual use only?
Yes, I believe so, especially with that superior quality screen.
How does it compare to a S23FE? Should I rather get that?
Xiaomi 12 ou honor 90?
This or the vivo v27 , please help ?
vivo v27 dude
Is the display of honor 70 and honor 90 curved the same?
No stereo speakers, i think Honor 90 Pro have stereo speakers isn't ??
No single.
Cantabria! ❤
Yes!
Cant hide phone today 😢 some phone 6.7 very height. Then the camera at the back so very big circle not cute . Hope have cute small circle soon.
you visited Pais Vasco?
Well Cantabria which is next to it. Pais Vasco, Cantabria and Asturias all my favorite areas of Spain. Northern Spain is the best, it reminds me of New Zealand, green and clean! And in summer it's the best 20-23 degrees. Here in Valencia/Alicante it's 40 degrees+
20mp will do with OIS
What about honor 90 pro global version?
Right now it's the for china market only
But i do hope we'll get to see it the global market
@@Bx81m2A Correct just Chian for the Pro model. Unlikely we will get it.
I bought the 12gb 512 storage version £500 no charger no silicone case no x8 pad came neither what sucks is it's now 2 week later £100 cheaper. Gutted
Ouch yeah unfortunately there is no way to know thism same thing always happens to me. I buy something and then it's on sale later for less. Like my last laptop bought it for 2599 then a week later it was 2199! 😬🙈
I bought same version in Finland. 399€ super cheep! But there was no charger in box, and no protect case.
That's why I never check the price of a smartphone again after I bought it. Unless it's an iPhone. As long as I am satisfied with the gadget, I'm fine.
I'm thinking of buying Honor 90 as a gift because if it's price and camera...How is the battery performance? Does it last the whole day?
Yes
Battery issues bro
@@mahbuburrahman5383 I ended up buying S23 Ultra...
Nooo battery don't last long
@AneeKatwal I bought it already S23 Ultra...So far so good, draining a bit when gaming but still pretty good...
Hey bro, where is your Nothing Phone (2) review? Have you got the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3? If you already have it then you already know that it's a wow phone... right?
Nothing wants nothing to do with me. They are ghosting me... As for the Mix Fold 3 well when it's released I'll buy one to review. I've decided to not buy the Fold 5 and get the Mix Fold 3 instead.
Better than pixel or not
In some areas like the screen yes 100%
