Honor 90 series launches in Malaysia from RM1,799

Honor Malaysia has officially taken the wraps off the Honor 90, while at the same time, the company also launched two other devices as reported a few days back – the Honor 90 Lite and Honor Pad X9 LTE.

Sporting a 6.7-inch 1.5K OLED 120Hz display that sports an impressive 3840Hz PWM Dimming, the Honor 90’s display has been certified by TUV Rheinland as a risk-free display for the human eye for low brightness viewing, it has an under screen optical fingerprint reader and continues to feature a premium metallic design that differentiates itself from the segment.

The Honor 90 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition chipset paired with 12GB RAM and up to 512GB of storage, making this a direct competitor to the realme 11 Pro+ 5G that is also announced today, and also one of the few phones within the segment that comes with large internal storage, the phone also happens to feature a 200-megapixel main camera and assisted by 2-megapixel ultrawide and 2-megapixel depth cameras, and it one upped its competition with a front 50-megapixel camera that’s capable of capturing 4K videos.

Juiced by a 5000mAh battery, the Honor 90 supports 66W Honor SuperCharge fast charging.

The Honor 90 Lite is a specced down version of the Honor 90, though having a similar 6.7-inch display size, it uses an IPS panel that pushes 1080p resolution at 90Hz, it is also powered by a lower end Mediatek Dimensity 6020 chipset with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, but the phone is thankfully still 5G capable.

Camera wise, the Honor 90 Lite has a 100-megapixel main camera that’s assisted by 5-megapixel and 2-megapixel macro cameras, which isn’t too shabby, the front camera still takes rather high-resolution photos at 16-megapixel, while its 5000mAh battery will charge much slower at 22.5W.

In a surprising move, the Honor Pad X9 tablet introduced is a 4G LTE model, which means you can pop in a SIM card and always stay connected, this 11.5-inch tablet features a 120Hz display and is powered by an efficient Snapdragon 685 processor with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, which should overall make this a really good mid-range tablet for media consumption and casual productivity tasks.

On top of that, Honor has also added a new 8GB+256GB storage variant for the outgoing Honor Pad 8 tablet.

These new Honor devices will be available for purchase starting 22 July 2023 onwards, the Honor 90 comes in two storage variants of 12GB+256GB and 12GB+512GB, they will retail for RM1,799 and RM2,099 respectively.

The Honor 90 Lite and Honor Pad X9 both retail for RM1,099.

The Honor Pad 8 with 8GB+256GB storage retails for RM1,499.

They can all be purchased at all Honor Stores, authorized dealers, HiHonor.com, Lazada and Shopee.
