This is my first mid range phone after years of being sucked into flagship handsets costing £1k and over. This honor 90 is incredible for the money I paid. The screen is stunning and completely outshines any iPhone or Samsung on the market now. The 120hz refresh rate makes a huge difference with the gorgeous amoled panel. If only my LG C2 TV could do this! If your aren't a snob and want bang for your buck... Look no further than this handset. It feels premium in your hand with a balanced weight that is unrivalled only if you have big hands. It's very snappy, UI is straight forward with no lag. The camera is a step up, and very true with hardly any over exposure. Battery seems solid and that 66W charging is unreal (quickest on the market at the moment) Can see why this might win phone of the year.
Just bought one of these yesterday after my trusty Huawei P Smart from 2017 gave up the ghost. Paid £320 and what a step up! Right about the bloatware though, I spent most of yesterday trying to get rid of apps/ games and stop so much running in the background. Hopefully this will see me through for the next 7 years like my previous phone. Fingers crossed. Update after two months: I love this phone, Definately a great buy. Hats off to HONOR.
Yeah, when you compare it to the OnePlus Nord 3 which is gonna be 499 pounds and the pixel 7a which is 449 for half the storage I think it is. Better ultra wide cam than the OnePlus, so it's at least good value IMO. Just can't believe they didn't put stereo speakers in it! And I know OnePlus are offering 3 OS updates and have a more powerful processor, but the battery life should be better with the honor and performance should honestly be still pretty good, Snapdragon processors are usually much better supported than mediatek ones. One question Tom, can the ultrawide film 4k videos? Should be able to as it's a 12mp, and that would be a huge selling point if all 3 cameras can do 4k video
What about the fantastic Pocco F5, beautiful amoled flat screen, faster chipset SD 7 plus gen 2 which is 70% faster than SD 7 gen 1, ok? And the price of the Pocco M5 is much lower than this overpriced Honor 90, above 320 pounds vs 450 pounds of Honor, which is a big difference on price! Go millions times better for the Pocco M5, that is my opinion!
Please put more focus on eye strain. It’s a major problem for many people and companies doesn’t take it seriously because reviewers don’t want to mention it. I really appreciate what honor as done here and am shifting from iPhone because I have no options in the apple ecosystem beyond the phone 11 I can use without killing my eyes.
@@Thetechchap i would appreciate it immensely. I don’t know how bit the problem is exactly but for the minority of people like me it’s a serious problem. When honor can solve it with such a great result it makes me wonder why I can’t get an Apple phone that I can use without serious health problems.
If it had stereo speakers and wireless charging it would be in my hands right now, but I suppose its alllll down to the price. The screen looks amazing.
Google could learn a thing or two from this display. I've always had pixels, but have always felt let down by their displays. To me the display has always been one of the most important parts of a phone .
@@AmitBhagat-s4g The One day you forget about headphones and feels the need of duel speaker .. and it's not recommended to use headphones all the time it reduces hearing capabilities in the long run...

Why does a phone need stereo speakers? Does anyone listen to music through their phone?. I use a Bluetooth speaker which isn't stereo but sounds a thousand times better than any stereo phone speaker.
is it safe to charge this honor 90 with a oneplus watt 30 charger since no charger included or will my battery not be as efficient in the long run as it would be if i charged with matching 66 watt ? thanks
I had a Huawei P30 pro after years of iphones. I then moved to a google pixel because the Huawei lost the google app store but it isnt a patch on the huawei, its heavy, the camera is doo doo, battery doesnt last a day, slower to charge and sluggish. Finding out Honor is the child of Huawei, I need it!
@@robinWrath16 apple could clearly see the threat they were. Shame the apple fanboys/girls can't see how overated apple is. Do you know if there is going to be an Honor 90 pro?
Great review 👍Honor 90 price already down in Finland. It's at a very tempting price point now - probably it has to do with the release of OnePlus Nord 3? Anyway, here are the cheapest priced today in Finland/EU: Honor 90 (256gb) 349 €. Honor 90 (512gb) 399€. Bargain of the year? It should be a great phone, it appears to beat Nord 3 in battery life, front face camera, and 12mp ultrawide camera with a great macro mode, main camera could be a tie. A win for Nord 3 in updates and better performance with Dimensity 9000 and also stereo speakers. But at these prices Honor 90 is a great bargain in my opinion and Snapdragon 7 gen 1 accelerated is really enough power for most.
I forgot to mention video recording which has been disappointing on Nord 3 in the reviews I have seen, so probably a clear win to Honor 90 in videos too, as seen on this review it was great.
I'm not sure if I just didnt hear it but does this phone use any Corning Gorilla glass for the front/back glass? And does it have a pro mode for the camera for raw photos?
Can you share download of original video 4k (no more than 5 seconds)? I'd like to know the bitrate of video and if it is VFR (variable frame rate) or CFR (constant frame rate). Thx
Well I bought a Samsung s23 ultra and absolutely hated it so I bought this phone and love it. Old phone was Huawei p30pro. The s23ultra was so heavy especially holding it for hours, struggled with a case, after 2 weeks the phone speaker and microphone stopped working so I was happy to get a £1250 refund. I bought this phone got a tablet with it for £484. With the s23ultra I also struggled with the width and sharp corners. Honor 90 in diamond silver and 512gb is brilliant.
No OIS, no dual speakers, and an awful curved screen...best to avoid. Also no mains charger or case is included in retail box. Box in video was sent directly by Honor for review and is not a retail boxed product.
It might be released this it what I'm hanging on to see. All depends on how well the 90 sell in an already over saturated market. I think it would have been better to not have released to 90 and instead released the pro.
HONOR 90G all the way..!! Look at the camera back so sleek and stylished !!! For real for real... Good job HONOR WAY TO GO 🙏📸❤️ and it has multi-video the first of its kind. For vlogging.
Thanks for the vid, I managed to pick up direct from Honor for £329 with the charger and free Honor ear buds. It's the 12g 512 storage. It was the camera for videos that grabbed me. Really pleased with the price. I had to have the Emerald green but I'll put a case on it anyway. Again, great vid, cheers
Try setting the anti-banding for the cameras & you'll find you can't. Any display I point the camera at bands float across it. Even on my old Poco X3 NFC I could set the anti-banding.
Honor product is sturdy my honor 9 lite still working even though i used it roughly hide it on my chest cus sometimes i used it on work 😅😅 wen boss come i hide my phone
Is it worth it for just shooting content? And maybe uploading images to Instagram. I’m currently using an iPhone 11 and want something else to shoot content but I do not want to carry a heavy camera around and the latest iPhone will come out after I leave for my trip. The Honor 90 is currently £140 in the UK 🤔
I am looking at this phone at the moment and I can get is for as little as £320. The only thing that Bothers me is the fact that it Doesn't have any official Protection as in water, dust and Shock Proof.
We cares about a top quality camera. Why not try improving battery life or try improve things people spend alot of time on like apps or stuff. Every phone that comes out, main focus is always on the camera.
True . I have a pixel and never use it's camera . People seem obsessed with phone cameras. All phone cameras are good for saving memories, candid photos etc .I have a dedicated mirror less and DSLR for photos . My pixel has a sub par battery and display, it's a bit glitchy ( albeit it has some clever features I rarely use) on first impressions I must say I'm impressed with this Honor phone.

it has ufs 2.2 not 3.1 storage
also ram is lpddr4x not lpddr5
so in the long run will get slow
I know you are hyped about your purchase but that screen is not as good as iPhone's or Samsung's flagship phones.
I bought one for 299e in Black friday sale wery good value for money

@@marksouthwell4490 it appears that the display surpasses the quality even found in iPhones.
Now the Chinese phones are much better in turns of value considering usability, screen, camera and design and variability
How would i get the charger in the uk
I'm seriously tempted. I currently have an iPhone XS Max.
How many android update will get for this ? Including major and security.
Actually, I like the Lite version of the device with its Dimensity 6020 chip. I think the camera section is also quite good.
agree 💯
Do you get the charger in the uk from any stores
i didnt even though there is a space for it in the box, there was no phone cover either
no case or charger included if you buy from Argos in the uk
I think even from Honor too
@paulstone22 would you have to buy the charger and the case of Amazon or Argos in the uk
You guys are so lucky to be able to have this phone. I don't like curved screens but I absolutely love this one.
I hate curved screens, and yet...this phone is such a great deal, I had to buy it. My first Honor, I hope it won't disappoint!
@@Giavel84How is it? 🤔
@@arvi8843I have been using it for around a week now, it's fabulous.

how is your phone after another month? any potential red flags?@@Giavel84
I love phones that still ship with a charger can't stand that all the top phone brands don't come with a charger pisses me right off
The only and biggest downside is that single speaker... Take 10 dollar more but upgrade to duel speaker next time honor.😅
