After teasing for weeks, PSAV Global Tech has finally launched the Honor 90 in India. This marks the re-entry of Honor smartphones in the country after 3 years.
The Honor 90 is a design-focused smartphone that features an eye-friendly display and a higher-megapixel primary camera. It sports a glass sandwich design with curved panels on both front and rear.
The phone is built around a 6.7-inch centered punch hole quad curved AMOLED display. The 10-bit panel offers a resolution of 2664 x 1200 pixels, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 3840Hz PWM dimming. The screen has a 435 PPI and 1600 peak brightness level.
The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition chipset. On the software front, it boots MagicOS 7.1 based on Android 13 with support for GMS (Google Mobile Services).
The handset arrives with a triple camera setup on the rear. These sensors are placed inside two separate circular islands along with an LED flashlight.
The rear camera system comprises a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP3 primary sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP depth sensor. Whereas, on the front, there’s a 50MP snapper for selfies and video calls.
The connectivity options on the phone include dual SIM, 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GNSS, and USB Type-C. It comes with an under-display fingerprint sensor and a single bottom-firing speaker.
The handset is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 66W wired charging and 5W reverse wired charging. Last but not least, it will receive 2 Android updates and 3 years of security updates.
Honor 90 is available in India in two variants:
- 8GB + 256GB – ₹37,999 (~$460)
- 12GB + 256GB – ₹39,999 (~$480)
During the initial sale period, customers can purchase them at an effective price of ₹27,999 and ₹29,999, respectively. These discounted price tags include bank discounts and exchange offers.
The phone can be availed in either Midnight Black, Diamond Silver, or Emerald Green color options. It will be sold via Amazon India, Reliance Digital, and select retail stores across the country.
The first sale is scheduled for at 12 PM on September 18.
The launch of the Honor 90 is a major milestone for the company in India. It is the first Honor smartphone to be launched in the country since the brand was separated from Huawei in 2020. The Honor 90 is a well-specced phone with a competitive price tag, and it is sure to appeal to consumers in India.
The phone is expected to face stiff competition from other popular brands in the country, such as Samsung, Xiaomi, and Realme. However, the Honor 90 has a few unique features that could give it an edge, such as its eye-friendly display and its 200MP camera.
Only time will tell how well the Honor 90 will perform in India. However, it is clear that the company is serious about making a comeback in the country, and the Honor 90 is a major step in that direction.
