A Pixel 7a Rival Approaches | Honor 90 Review

- Reviewing the Honor 90 Global Edition smartphone, hitting the UK from £449 with some Pixel 7a baiting specs. As well as a 200MP camera, the Honor 90 offers 66W fast battery charging, a gorgeous 120Hz AMOLED screen and some sleek Pro-like design. So should you go for this rather than that Google Pixel and is it a big upgrade vs the Honor 70?
Here's my final verdict after a week of using as my full time phone. Check out my video on the best mid range phones of 2023 for more ideas!
The Honor 90 certainly sets a good first impression with its skinny, curvy design that looks proper premium. This green model is a stunner, and reasonably hardy despite the lack of IP rating.
The camera is headlined by a 200MP Samsung HP3 sensor, although don't expect the Honor 90 to rival the Pixel 7a for incredible photography skills. Most of my everyday shots came out well enough, but some appear over-processed and colours aren't as punchy as I'd hoped.
You'll likely love the crisp and poppy AMOLED screen, which is a major highlight here. Sadly the Honor 90's audio output isn't quite as clever, with a simple mono speaker setup and no headphone jack.
And while the Honor 90 has no problems gaming on Genshin Impact, the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset does struggle when you boost that game's graphics. Thankfully battery life is a massive win, and I never once ran out of juice by night time - unlike with the Pixel 7a.

I'm surprised that you didn't give more credit to the camera on this phone. It is actually quite good and easily one of the strongest points it has.
I bought this phone with silver white colour and it comes with 12gb ram and 512gb storage with extra free honor 2 lite earbuds , free honor case ( not silicone transparent tpu case that also included inside the box) and + 6 special warranty.
here's my conclusion
Pros:
1. The Pwm dimming seriously reduce my eye strain and dizziness ( i came from samsung s21+ user). The highest pwm dimming in any smartphone currently.
2. The screen to body ratio is amazing and u will feel an immersive feeling screen, i understand some people prefer flat screen rather than curved edges, but this one doesn't feel like those curved display.
3. Battery Is Excellent 5000Mah lasted me 2 days of medium usage unless you are playing mobile games 24h.
4. Camera is Excellent and i enjoyed using it more than my s21+.
5. Oh and the Display Amoled was just stunning with 6.7 inches, 108.9 cm2 (~90.8% screen-to-body ratio)
Resolution: 1200 x 2664 pixels (~435 ppi density) that's great.
6. And the speaker quality, i understand its a single speaker rather than stereo, but i found out the audio quality is very loud and good, doesn't feel cheap at all.
7. Lastly the design quality and feel this is the best so far speaking from my hands size point of view.. no sharp edges under my thumbs when texting.
Cons:
1. No ip rating a splash of water is fine but not on a super heavy rain condition
2. Chipset could be better but for daily use and gaming it is fine but don't expect 60hz + on ultra setting on genshin impact but mobile legends is fine with ultra setting
Conclusion of all these:
1. Buy it if you like minimalist light body
2. Buy it if you like to take care of your eyes and viewing health and i do recommend this phone
3. Buy it if you like High end features and premium phone but with moderate budget
4. Buy it if you like to view content on any platform such as youtube/twitch etc
5. Buy it if you like photography Not the best like iphone 14 pro max but it is excellent for my eyes
6. Avoid this phone if stereo speaker is what you wanted for
7. Avoid this phone if you want wireless charging
8. Avoid this phone if you want certified IP rated phone
Thanks i hope this help on making your choice
Thank you! I hope you can post/upload like a camera test with this phone. I'm about to purchase it next month
@@NotIvanPavlov remember no OIS ON Phone
Thanks for details 👍
Honor 90 or OP Nord 3?
@@teox98 depends what you want if OIS is what youre looking for in photography then go nord 3
I've used a lot of midrangers recently from motorola / nokia / samsung / google and the honor 90 is by far the best of the lot. The build is absolute quality and has a fantastic slimline feel to it ( similar to the samsung a71 ) that I really like ( why did phones get fat again ? ) and forget any doubts about magicOS it's a really intuitive and functional GUI overall this one's a keeper for sure.
Im still on my honor 70 and its really a great device, looking forwards to the honor 90
I'm still on my honor 50 and loving it.
I like the introduction! ❤😂
That intro tho!!!😄👍
Hey spurt can you review the upcoming red magic tablet? It features 10,000mah battery but LCD ips display
Hello Mr. Spurt
Watching all the way from Canada
Is it okay to review the "Realme GT Neo 5 SE"
A really good phone with a 6.74 inch display, a processor that rivals even the best processors for a mid-ranger
Loving the original title! Great video as always, Chris!
Which would you recommend between the xiaomi redmi note 12 pro+ and the Honor 90?
Great video!
Thanks for sharing!
Was waiting for your review of the 90, all in all not as good as I was expecting, is the pro being released in Europe?
the pro version will be out soon
Are you going be reviewing the 90 lite soon?
This phone or motorola edge 40, what is best value?
From where do you get all these wallpapers?
I'm having all sorts of problems with mine. It won't connect to my WiFi. Apps stutter or refuse to run and TH-cam videos just refuse to load. Because it was a Christmas gift I missed the 14 day return period so the only alternative is to send it back for a repair but what needs repairing? I do not know if the modem is faulty or just my WiFi at home.
can you make a comparison video about Pixel 6 pro VS 7A?
Maybe dual speakers will be o Honor 100 or 100 pro? for the moment I am happy with my Honor 90 😊 cero problems with this incredible Phone ✌️
link for the wallpaper, pls! really like your wallpaper choice
Hi
A good few months ago, you did a review on the Honor Magic5 Pro. At the time this handset was their flagship mobile.
Now that Honor has introduced the Honor 90, which handset is better, and which has the better camera features?
I'm sort of 50:50 on which one to get, but could appreciate your thoughts on your gut instinct on which out of these two is the better handset?
Honor magic 5 pro is in a different league mate... This honor 90 is a budget/ midrange device.... If it's best camera you want there is no real comparison... Get the honor magic 50 pro.
The Honor Magic 5 Pro is way better than the Honor 90!
It's like comparing the Samsung Galaxy A54 to the Galaxy S23 Ultra or the iPhone SE to the iPhone 14 Pro.
Please review the Techno spark 10 pro I think it's a budget phone that won't disappoint 🙏
love your videos from Bangladesh 🇧🇩❤
Me too 🇧🇩
I bought the honor 70 last year, and for me it is a perfect phone. I am looking forward to the honor 90 once they fix the bugs
There is nothing to fix. The phone will be just fine. He had a pre release phone
I agree
Still on 2 year old Honor 50. Still going perfect, I cant see a reason to upgrade. I'll wait for the Honor 100.
Which one should I buy for my mom? This one or Vivo29? I use Vivo27 and I'm very pleased with it.. My mom's current phone is Samsung Galaxy A52
Where can I find this themes like your phone? Plz tell me....
The part where you need to reach the top of the screen just to see the notif or control panel is annoying coming from huawei p60 pr0.
Quite a show opening! :D
hows the capability on front cam video recording?
Nice looking phone but too expensive phones at this price should have a minimal of 3 years of software updates and 4 years of security updates one plus nord 3 would be a better phone to buy
@unholydonutsyes a54 is by far a better choice and a safer one. But, I like bigger screens... That's why I am between this phone and Nord 3.🤔
Honor must try to put dual speakers on their phones.
Mr Techspurt when will you review the new Moto Razr??
I don't like the camera module. The size is.. you can just tell the company et al is going down.
Picked up the honor 90 and its absolutely fantastic
I'm thinking of getting too, how is it?
@@hellenhardy3144 it's very nice but I wish it had stereo speakers. Get it. It's absolutely amazing. I got some earbuds
@@hellenhardy3144 It's really nice. I love it.
hi there, may i know what's the name of this movie 3:49?
Just got it brand new for 329.99 direct from honor with code, very happy
I saw the offer for the Honor 90 on the socials with a tablet thrown in for an extra £10, and was tempted but after your review I think I may go back to my original choices of Pixel 7a or Samsung A54. Wanted the Oneplus 10 pro but cant find it to buy. I need a good camera, good battery and at least 256GB of storage. Plastic case also puts me off. It does have a lot of good features though especially the battery life but the camera is important and it doesn't seem to offer the quality I need.
Have u purchased a new phone yet
@@jimibaked4235 Hey there, no not yet. Got busy. But still looking. I should get a refurbished one for sake of planet, slave labour etc but I don't trust it. And some of the pricing is really high and I don't want an old model.
@@BibsyPmaybe stop being poor😂
instead of the A54 you should check the A52s still better than the two generations after it.
@@RobertBaraheon tf has that got to do with buying a refurbished phone 😂😂
Is it less curved than HONOR 70 display ?!
Is this still the best one for camera on this price range ???? What happens when we compare this with realme 11 pro + and poco X5 pro for example?
I know from Poco is better in a camera standard comparison. I would like to know too between realme 11 pro plus and Nord 3, in terms of camera which one is better.
This or neo edge 40 both around £200..?
does this have stereo speakers?
Honor 90 or Oneplus Nord 3?
I've recently got the Honor 90 & everything is fine so far, But unfortunately it doesn't have a memory card tray! 😭
It has huge storage tho. 512gb is super enough
People always hate on Macro. I love my Macro! There are so many nature shots where you can't just zoom in from further away, you actually need to be close up
does this phone support android auto?
Switchy, this or the redmi 13pro plus
Guuuys pleaaase which phone do you think has the better camera honor 90 or 70?
Sure 90
@@AlexK59. thank you!
Waited for this for a while. Very tempting to replace my aging Huawei P20.
I'm replacing my p30 pro.. Loved it, had it since it came out.. Smashed screen, speakers a bit goosed, mics goosed. Camera is fuzzy unless in ultra wide.. So ordered this 2day 👌🏻✌🏼
@@MrNovemberfourteenth ah you tempting imp. 😎. Honor sent me a 10% off voucher. Decisions decisions....
@@TheMarkRich I used the 10 perfect. And a extra 9.99 for a pad
Yoo also typing on a P20, only issue for me is the battery got weak, ps don't buy this honor it's pretty bad for it's price
@@MrNovemberfourteenth sounds good. My p20 is still going strong with battery lasting a day, screen intact and everything functional but desire is terrible thing. I'll put in an order this weekend. 😎
what is that animation movie?
How are the updates and secrurity patches?
2 OS updates, 3 years of patches
Thw bottom bezel/ chin is very thick compared to other phones , very old school
Single speaker why??? I've been thinking about buying Honor instead of Xiaomi, but those little things.. Honor could be a very good phone. Oneplus Nord 3 would be a very good option.
U must be 29
@@evanko. I'm poor
Is your birthday in November? You will be the big 30
Oneplus is better
@@zad.21 fr I have a oneplus rn
No IP rating, no headphone jack, no SD card slot, no OIS on the main cam, no stereo speakers, missing too many features for me
Only Sony still has those feature.
Headphone jack, sd card?? You're joking
Stereo speakers and ois are the only 2 things missing
Who needs a headphone jack in 2023 🤣
@@Ben-kp6bpme !!!
Thinking about ditching my OnePlus 10 Pro for this
Viewing this from my Honor 90 the awesome beast 😎✌️
How is it so far
@@mysticz5478 awesome no problems at all ✌️
@@mysticz5478 still awesome like the first time 😎👌
A54 or Honor 90 ?
Same price in my country
Honor 90 for screen,
A54 for updates,
other things are similar atleast not to being a deal breaker
The lack of stereo speakers was a deal breaker for me. Went for Nord 3 5G instead. Don't regret it! Can get it for £420 at the moment with a free Sandstone original case.
Yeah the Nord 3 is a much better buy. Although the 2 freebies with purchase are always out of stock! (case and earbuds)
How is the camera in Nord? I am between honor 90 and Nord and the only reason I didn't get it already is the bad reviews regarding its cameras.
My brian is fried from watching all these now haha. What would you reccomend in the way of a mid range 'good' camera phone please ? They all have so many ups and downs... Spend about £400 ... Cheers 😊 😊😊
See can't even spell 'brian' 😂 brain of course 😅
Name of movie with saber swords?
3:50 Title pls
For me beyond every problem the stereo speakers lacking, 7 gen 1 being hardly powerful at best and the plastic back are the biggest downsides of this phone, so much that I'll probably go buy Nova 11 Pro for the same price which has a 778G
I'd buy a Nothing phone instead tbh
I bought the Oppo Find X5 (non pro) for the same price as this Honor & defiantly in build & camera is way better.
Umm you do realise dat 7 gen 1 is much powerful than 778g? And talking abt plastic backs, tbh they r better than glass backs cuz it wont break.
Why not buy a pixel?
@@mdminhajalamdip4372 pixel 6 would of been a good choice camera wise at the time. I do prefer the extra power,faster charging, better display. Even the cameras are close. MKBHD picture test put Oppo find x5 pro 1st for main camera I think in daytime and rest of categories pretty well except selfie. The non pro which I got has the same camera as the pro minus the pro has better stability mostly for video. Plus the design is nice on the Oppo over the Pixel. If the only thing that matters to you 7a is a good choice maybe slightly beats Oppo find x5 but it is close I would say.
What to buy?! A54.13 lite,H 90,7a, r note 12 pro ? I cant decide .... It is all same price...
which one did u pick
@@q2l867 13 lite and i should go with a 54,13 have problems after hyper os update,phone is so slow now ..
I liked it too much, but mono audio???
300dolares right?😂
The intro😂
Would you go this phone or motorola edge 40? 🤔
If you don't mind that Motorola doesn't have AOD but their version of it, then definitely Motorola. Personally, I would probably wait for Oneplus' Nord 3
Do you mind me asking why? On paper this one slightly pips in sepc, no?
@@kt_mac5568 On paper. And it is ip68 protected. But of course both have their pros and cons. In my opinion, Motorola has just that the AOD thing. Both are good phones, but in Honor, those things that there are no stereo speakers, no IP rating, quite buggy according to this video. Whichever you like more, buy it!
@@railasvuo the honor was buggy cuz he had the pre realease so still in testing
12,512 gig,in a midrange phone is one of the best
well honestly, the mono speaker is not a deal breaker for me, i always use headphones, i'm more afraid of the os, currently i use the mi note 10 lite, MIUI IS GREAT
I can't get over the fact that it doesn't have stereo speakers, infrared and that Honor should have put a Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 processor, because the SD7 Gen 1 has the same specs as the SD778G, it gets on my nerves.
Maybe im being weird but it doesnt have the same vibe as the pre ban honor phones did. If my 20 wasnt missing chunks I'd still use it today.
I only stopped using my 8X last year,great phone and the old ones had much better cameras than the new budget Honors
@@dave8204 8X was garbage, worse than the older 8. I had one for 3 days until i returned it
i wish y'all phone reviewers upload these videos at least 60fps
Hey I have a question. Which of these phones would be the best for long term use and intensive long gaming, video rendering
Samsung A14 5G
OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G
Both of these phones are almost equally good, but Nord CE 2 is slightly better as it is using dimensity 900, not a big difference. CE 2 weighs less compared to A14 because of it's smaller battery. If performance is your priority go for CE 2. Built quality is equal in both, sub par. Works well for atleast 3 years in my opinion, performance and battery degrades over time on any smartphone.
@@PavanKumar-ft5hi thank you so much. I needed to know that
It really looks beautiful but they really did cut corners.
Looks a lot like the Realme 11 Pro Plus, including the same 200MP camera. I just wish these phones would come with a flat display panel 🙁
OnePlus Nord 3 has great reviews and also has a flat panel. I'd look for that one instead.
Out of 3 of them, which one is better in terms of camera?
UncleSpurt... Shame about the cameras but you can't fool me. I noticed the quick insert of the vocation naughty and nice "coconut milk". Hee hee hee fun I've had with that with "i don't drink" people's.... 😮. Jed
The no ois and the cheap build quality are the dealbreakers for me
All was looking good until the mention of a single speaker 😮 no thanks
I had pixel 6 and pixel 7 and decided to get rid of them. I don't think I'll be buying another pixel, hence why I'm looking at honor and zenfone 10 and at the moment I'm using Samsung S22 as mess about phone and my main phone was IPhone 14 Pro Max now looking for Alternative.
@ralpha1 why don't you want another pixel?
@@Imstarshine biometrics aren't good. Front facing camera isn't good. I didn't like the design if the back camera, battery wasn't that great.
@@ralpha1 would the battery last you 2 days on 7a with light usage?
I don't think you understand my needs 😉
im sorry but I think you have been a bit un fair about the camera.
I own an s23 ultra and the honour 90 and I can honestly say the honor more than keeps up with photo quality and even sometimes surpasses the s23 ultra.
I've just bought an Honor magic 5 pro replacing my ever reliable oneplus7pro. I'm very happy with the Honor brand in terms of its very good quality and vfm.
IF phone was without google play services i would buy it
Hell no!!! Am not reaching down your pants... I will have my mom do it but about the Honor it is a sweet device but my last for the 7a is still overwhelmingly deep.
Don't care about the phone, love the wit and cat
£388 now for the 512gb version.
Yeah, this looks like the OnePlus Nord 3 destroyer as well haha. 500 pounds for a mid range OnePlus, insanity!
Yea it's overpriced but I don't think u can compare those 2 when 1 has a dimensity 9000 and the other has a snapdragon 7 gen 1
Nord 3 destroys this like
@@xxiamlostxx_dreams_7916 for an extra 100 pounds in the UK? I dunno man if they were the same price yeah, I suppose hopefully the Nord 3 gets discounts and stuff but the money it's overpriced
The phone looks like the OnePlus N30 5G...?
There's no N30 4G or 24G. Just say N30
Not even halfway through the video and so many cons, it's hard to justify a purchase.
Just get it from Currys - no charger and no case in the box
These circular design camera bump need to stop
hello
Pixel 7a wireless charging is so slow it should’ve not been mentioned as a feature
2 android updates is a real dealbreaker I think nothing phone 2 or oneplus nord 3 is a better deal
Lots of feature missing, and you're saying this is a rival of pixel 7a, are you kidding 😅
Having recently bought a Realme GT2 this ones weak spots and there are far too many important areas where they have got it wrong means that I won't be buying one.
Props for the joke writing! Have you tried stand-up?
"maximize the grunt" 😂
I thought Honor and Huawei were dead ☠️
Honor's been bought by a new owner
Huawei is kind of struggling
Should read the news more.
Honor is an independent company now.
@@DarthThrashthey are two cheeks of the same arse.
@@joelconolly5574 Surprisingly I do read the news often! But you clearly can't read sarcasm 😬
Rival only in terms of specs, not in software updates. It's only Pixel and Samsung who care about their phones longevity.
