Luxurious exterior and eye-catching design.

No splash protection rating.

All things considered, we would say that the Honor 90 appeals with its design first and foremost and less so with its feature set. It's not a bad value proposition by any means, but better hardware can definitely be had in the same price range.

The Honor 90 is the brand’s latest mid-range phone, which brings some impressive features to the table.

Rich, eye-friendly display ; Premium-looking design ; Fast 66W wired charging

No IP water-resistance rating ; Only two years of software updates ; No wireless charging

Like its predecessor, the Honor 90 offers premium specs in a stylish design package that doesn’t come at the expense of, well, expense. There are some compromises – particularly under the hood – but this is a mightily impressive mid-range handset,...

Strong value for money ; Great snap-and-shoot cameras ; Beautiful design

Touchscreen isn't particularly responsive ; No IP-rating for water-resistance ; No 4K 60fps video

Far from cheap and cheerful, the Honor 90 is a great value proposition with a beautiful aesthetic, excellent camera and strong battery life, plus 12GB of RAM is more than most at this price. It's not perfect – the touchscreen is not exactly a joy to...

The Honor 90 is a promising midranger with some impressive specs. From our time with it so far, it looks great and performs very well indeed, giving its not insignificant competition something to think about.

Sharp looks and quality build ; OLED screen a joy for gaming and watching videos ; Main camera packs in plenty of detail

Depth camera not a worthwhile inclusion ; Image processing can be OTT at times ; Missing features found in similarly-priced rivals

A very capable mid-ranger that looks and feels like a much pricier phone. It’s fast and takes a pleasing picture, but faces increasingly strong competition.

Class-leading display ; Decent main camera ; Loads of storage ; Good battery life

Cheap, plasticky feel ; No wireless charging ; Only promised two Android updates

The Honor 90’s best feature is its quad-curved screen, with top specs and extra eye care features – but the rest of the package is only average, so there’s better value to be found elsewhere.

Slim, lightweight, and stylish ; Fast and responsive (Snapdragon 7 Gen 1) ; Flexible memory configurations ; Bright and vivid AMOLED display ; 3840 PWM dimming to reduce eye strain ; Big battery and fast wired charging ; Generous retail box ; Decent...

A bit pricey ; No telephoto camera ; Short software support cycle ; No wireless charging ; No IP rating ; Plastic frame
