Honor 90 5G
Even though Honor has been releasing laptops and tablets in India over the years, the brand has been pretty much non-existent in the smartphone space for the past three years. The last batch of Honor phones to launch in India included the Honor 9X Pro (sans Google Play Store), Honor 9X, Honor 9A, and Honor 9S back in 2020. And the Honor 9X was the last phone we reviewed here at 91mobiles. Three years later, brand Honor is finally back in the country and is looking to grab a piece of the Indian smartphone market from established brands with the help of ex-Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth. Honor wants to do this starting with the Honor 90 5G.
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.
