The saturated Indian smartphone market was waiting for a new entrant
to shake up the status quo and HTech, a comprehensive solutions
provider, has now brought HONOR 90 in India that not only breaks walnuts
but sets new standards for comfortable viewing and creative freedom.
Equipped
with a stunning 200MP Main Camera featuring AI Vlog Master and
industry-leading Quad-Curved Floating Display with 3840 Hz PWM Dimming
technology, HONOR 90 5G packs groundbreaking hardware and software into
one device.
The HONOR 90 5G device comes in two variants -- 12GB
+512 GB and 8+256 GB, which, coupled with RAM Turbo, gives up to 5GB on
8GB RAM variant and 7GB on 12GB variant.
Let us see if this device can create ripples in the Indian market.
First
of all, the all-new triple camera system consists of a 200MP Main
Camera with a 1/1.4-inch sensor, which by prioritising excellence in
clarity, HDR capabilities, and low-light performance, delivers
outstanding photographic results.
The triple camera has a 12MP
ultra-wide and macro camera with a 112-degree field of view and a 2MP
Depth Camera that helps the camera gauge distances accurately.
This
camera is supported with multi-frame fusion, noise reduction algorithm
and pixel binning to give a light-capturing performance that is
equivalent to large 2.24 micrometer pixels (16-in-1).
The 200MP
main camera resulted in outstanding high dynamic range (HDR) photos and
detailed, bright images even in low-light situations. For selfie lovers,
Honor 90 sports a 50MP camera which helps capture good images.
With
the Portrait Mode, you can effortlessly create exceptional portraits
that have well-defined facial features, accurate skin tones and produce
an authentic bokeh effect that naturally blends the background with the
main subject.
To offer photographers greater flexibility, the
Portrait Mode lets users capture photos at 2X zoom to produce results
that better highlight subjects in frames.
Additionally, the
smartphone harnesses the immense power of the processor to deliver 4K
video recording at 30fps from all three cameras - 200 MP Main Camera, 12
MP Ultrawide Camera and 50 MP Selfie Camera.
While shooting in
4k, in one single take, users can smoothly transition between Main,
Ultrawide, and front camera without stopping the 4k recording.
For
vloggers, the device helps denoise audio, makes video mode
recommendations, and comes with an AI Vlog Assistant that lets users
generate a social media-ready 15-second video with just a few taps.
Furthermore,
with omnidirectional noise reduction that has a signal-to-noise ratio
of 20dB, you can capture solid and clear human voices and zero of the
surrounding noise - close to that of a professional recorder.
Design-wise, HONOR 90 offers a slim 7.8mm thin design with 183g weight. It comes with gracefully quad-curved edges.
Honor
90 offers deeply reinforced glass, demonstrating exceptional robustness
and enabling the curved display to withstand being dropped any number
of times.
On the rear, HONOR 90 showcases the iconic N Series Dual
Ring Design, featuring rounded contours that are crafted with cutting
technique to create a dazzling gleam, thereby elevating its elegance to
another level.
The device comes in three colours: Midnight Black,
Emerald Green and Diamond Silver. Equipped with a 6.7-inch Quad-Curved
Floating Display, HONOR 90 supports a high resolution of 2664x1200, 100
per cent DCI-P3 colour gamut and up to 1.07 billion colours.
The
display supports a peak HDR brightness of 1600 nits, improving users'
readability even under bright light. To alleviate eye fatigue, the
display also features Dynamic Dimming, simulating natural light.
Additionally,
it supports HONOR’s Circadian Night Display technology, which filters
blue light and promotes melatonin secretion to naturally improve users’
nighttime sleep quality.
Honor 90 also supports HDR10+ and HDR certifications from Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
On
the battery front, it houses a 5000mAh battery for day-long usage. In
our test, it gave up to 16-17 hours of life with occasional video
streaming, social media, and daily work tasks.
With its Built-in
AI power-saving technology, the device optimises battery performance and
enhances efficiency, which enables maximum productivity even during
intensive use.
The smartphone is powered by the Qualcomm
Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 accelerated edition processor, which has 20 per cent
better GPU performance and a 30 per cent better AI performance than the
phone’s predecessor.
HONOR 90 runs on the latest Android 13-based
MagicOS 7.1, and packs a punch with enhanced smart features like Magic
Text, which provides a smart life experience and maximizes productivity.
The smartphone comes in two storage variants 8+256 GB and 12+512 GB priced at Rs 37,999 and Rs 39,999, respectively.
Having
said that, it can be purchased at as low as Rs 26,999 and Rs 29,999,
during the Amazon Great Indian Festival, starting October 8.
These offers can also be purchased at all mainline stores. These deals include the bank offers.
Conclusion:
Boasting cutting-edge AI technologies and best-in-class innovations,
including an ultra-clear 200MP camera, AI Vlog Master and Zero Risk
Eye-Comfort Display, the device heralds a revolution in smartphone
photography and display technology.
