Best mid-range phone of 2023: Honor 90

The Honor 90 is an impressive mid-range smartphone with industry-leading PWM dimming, an eye-catching flicker-free display, and great battery life.

Stylish design from curved

Honor 90 has a 6.7-inch display. That's the size most people would label as a "big phone," but many high-end Android phones now have this screen size. However, Honor has made a few changes to make the phone comfortable to use with one hand. For one, it uses a longer aspect ratio (20:9) compared to other 6.7-inch panels. The phone also has an OLED panel that comes curved on all four sides.

Thin and light profile

Honor has managed to make the phone thinner and lighter compared to its competitors by using thinner components that it designed. Honor 90 is 7.8mm thin and weighs 183g. One of the reasons why the phone is light; plastic back panel. In fact, this is something we're used to seeing in midrange phones. For those who use it without a cover, the back panel is matte, with a texture that makes it easy to grasp. The dual-tone back panel with diamond-shaped textures is also very stylish.

Industry-leading PWM dimming

Honor 90's 6.7-inch LTPO OLED panel offers 1200x2664 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 1600 nits peak brightness. The display can play HDR 10+ content from popular video streaming platforms. Honor uses ultra-fast PWM dimming on this model. Phone screens often start flickering at very high frequencies at low brightness levels. This is difficult to detect as it happens in such a short time. This can cause extreme eye strain in some people. To solve this problem, Honor increased the PWM dimming frequency up to 3840Hz. Honor 90 is a remarkable phone with its camera as well as its eye-catching body. This model has a 200MP main camera and a 50MP selfie camera. Of course, more megapixels doesn't always mean a better camera. In fact, having more megapixels affects its ability to absorb light, so most of the best camera phones use 48MP or 50MP sensors. The software of the 200MP camera provides more space for image processing. Honor's 200MP main camera is actually used to take 16-in-1 pixel group photos.

Honor 90 has the best processor to be used in a mid-range smartphone. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Powered Edition processor, which goes through the 4nm production process, the top model of the phone comes with 12GB RAM 512GB storage space. The phone is powered by a 5000 mAh battery that supports 66w fast charging.
