Upcoming Honor 90 smartphone featuring a 200-megapixel camera may launch in the Indian market shortly.
Honor is set to introduce the Honor 90 series in India soon, following its launch in China in May. The series comprises two smartphones, the standard Honor 90 and the premium Honor 90 Pro.
Reports suggest that the Honor 90 will debut in India, with a price around ₹35,000 following a price leak. In this price range, potential competitors include the OnePlus Nord 3 5G, iQoo Neo 7 Pro, and Poco F5 5G.
The Chinese edition of the Honor 90 features a 6.7-inch curved OLED display offering an FHD+ resolution of 1,200 x 2,664 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. It's powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, with up to 16GB RAM and a maximum internal storage capacity of 512GB. The device is fueled by a 5,000mAh battery and supports rapid 66W wired charging.
The Honor 90 sports a triple camera system, comprising a 200-megapixel primary camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. A 50-megapixel front camera caters to selfie enthusiasts.
If the Honor 90 is introduced in India, it will mark the first smartphone from Honor in three years to be available in the country. Honor, previously a subsidiary of Huawei, left the Indian market in 2020.
Other recent developments for Honor include the launch of the Honor MagicBook 2023 series and the sighting of the Honor Pad X9 on Amazon, which suggests an imminent launch.
The Honor 90 was launched in China at a starting price of CNY 2,499 (approx ₹29,000) for the base variant with 12GB + 256GB storage, rising to CNY 2,999 (roughly ₹35,017).
Potential competitors for the Honor 90 within the Honor lineup include the Honor 90 GT, which offers similar features at a slightly lower price point, and the Honor 400 Pro, a more premium device not yet available in India. Compared to other brands, the Honor 90 holds its ground with strong specs and competitive pricing, making it an attractive choice for Indian consumers.
- The Honor 90 series, featuring the Honor 90 and the premium Honor 90 Pro, is anticipated to include other 'gadgets' like tablets or smart speakers alongside smartphones, following its introduction in India.
- The Honor 90 series, with its advanced 'technology' such as the 120Hz refresh rate and rapid 66W charging, will likely challenge the Samsung Galaxy A54 5G, Xiaomi Redmi K50, and Realme 10 Pro 5G in terms of market presence, given their similar price range in India.
- Aside from the Honor 90, other 'gadgets' from Honor are expected to hit the Indian market soon, such as the Honor MagicBook 2023 series and the Honor Pad X9, marking a significant growth in Honor's Indian presence, after their departure from the market in 2020.
