HONOR 90 Lite Smartphone 5G with 100MP Triple Camera, 8+256GB, 6,7” 90Hz Display, 4500mAh, Dual SIM, Android 13, Midnight Black

I purchased this phone after doing research into phones under £300. My previous phone was a Huawei and this was an easy transition to make, with the advantage that it still supports Google apps and products.From the box, set up was straightforward, and the phone offered few operational differences to my previous phone. What was noticeable was an improvement in terms of feel, the body and glass feel high quality. Screen quality is an upgrade too, I noticed the brightness and resolution upgrades quickly. Websites and photographs look sharp and clear.The first weaker element came when playing video. Visually it was fine, the only speaker on the phone is adequate but by no means exceptional. However, at this price point it is not a big issue and I believe the sound via headphones is good. I haven't tried this to be able to confirm however.I like the camera on this phone. It takes good quality photos, particularly in daylight conditions. Night photos are pretty good too, however the noise in the images is obvious if you need to crop them afterwards beyond minor tweaks. Videos look good on the phone, at the time of writing I haven't watched them on a different screen.Minor drawbacks I've found... The phone does get quite warm after longer sleeps using it. Not dramatic, but certainly noticeable. The battery life is good, however without heavy media usage it easily lasts the whole day without a charge.For the price, I'd be impressed if you can find better.

I bought the HONOR 90 Lite to replace my 5.5 year old Honor 9 Lite which was starting to show signs of age. Previous to this, I was stuck in the extortion Apple bubble. Thanks to the availability of so many affordable, reliable, and high quality android brands, I decided to make the brave transition and have never looked back with any regret.Having used this Honor 90 Lite for a month, I am very pleased with the upgrade and hugely impressed by the quality / features / price ratio. The vastly improved specifications is a huge leap forward compare to the 9 Lite with only 3gb RAM, 32gb Storage, a 3000mah battery, and a 13 MP main camera. Thanks to the the main stars which are the generous 8gb RAM and the whopping 256gb storage, this phone is extremely snappy and a pleasure to operate. The 100MP main camera takes brilliant photos, while the larger screen and the ultra thin bezel deliver a much improved visual experience.With the unique Honor app DEVICE CLONE, I was able to transfer all datas ( including all my downloaded APPS) from the old HONOR to the new HONOR effortlessly using a C to C cable ( an adaptor is needed on the old phone as it is a micro USB). The only APP that I had to apply more work is WHATSAPP, as I wanted all my contacts and chat history to be transferred as well.There are some drawbacks including lack of 3.5 jack, no internal memory card slot, lower screen brightness, and the screen is LCD and not AMOLED. However, I can accept the minor compromise as I don’t feel like paying £100 more for these features found in the Redmi Note 13 5G with similar camera size, memory and storage capacity.As technology changes so rapidly theses days, the relatively affordable price of this reliable Chinese phone means that I can upgrade to newer technology more often without feeling guilty.

I've had Honor phones before, but decided to try an iPhone for a while (which I did like). However, I'm glad to be back with Honor. Screen size is great, clear display and superb colours. Haven't fully tested the camera yet, just a few pics, but I'm looking forward to taking out for a proper session soon. If the amazing amount of camera set-up choices are anything to go by, this should be good. Battery lasts an easy two days. Two minor gripes, which stopped me giving an overall five star rating - the music player is a bit 'tinny' when not using ear buds and why no charger, lead only?Considering I could buy five of these for the price of one iPhone, absolute bargain!Highly recommended.

Update (July 2025): I've had this phone for over 2 years and I'm still so happy with it.Software updates have been useful and have improved the functionality of the phone.The camera quality is still top tier (my friends just get me to send them my photos and videos) and with extras like multi video and capturing whilst videoing, you're good.I commented on wanting expanding storage but there isn't a need. I have the 512gb model and there's still over 100gb of free storage space.Phone cases are still hard to come by but there are more available.Battery life has started to wane but this is expected after 2 years. With average use, you can just about get through the day before you need to recharge👍I'm anti-Apple and pro-Android so I can't comment on a comparison between the two.I've owned Honor, Huawei and OnePlus phones and I've always been pleased with the devices and how they are a fraction of the cost of the big names on the market.Camera quality is really important to me and this phone impresses me beyond my expectations.Generally the phone functions are smooth and intuitive. It's really light and fits nicely in the hand. You get a full day's battery off a full charge and the super fast charging is a treat!Ways it could be better:1) the ability to increase storage (50gb is taken up by apps before you've even started with music and pictures)2) I've not found a way to capture a still whilst videoing3) I'd like some gesture features4) there are limited accessories (phone cases) for this model so I'm making do with the clear one that comes in the boxI really really like this phone and would recommend anyone getting it
