Honor is gearing up to launch its latest offering, the Honor 90 series, which has recently passed the network access certification of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Reports suggest that the high-end version of the Honor 90 series will come equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip.
Although the detailed specifications and
photos of the Honor 90 series have not surfaced yet, the MIIT website has
listed the model numbers of the devices as REA-AN00 for the Honor 90 and
REP-AN00 for the Honor 90 Pro. Rumors indicate that the Honor 90 lineup could
be announced in May and be made available for purchase in time for China’s 618
online shopping festival.
According to Digital Chat Station, a
reliable tipster, the Honor 90 Pro will retain some of the core specifications
of its predecessor, the Honor 80 Pro, including the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
chipset. The tipster also claims that the Honor 90 Pro will feature a 1.5K
resolution and a high-frequency dimming curved screen. Since Honor 80 Pro comes
with a 6.78-inch 120Hz OLED display it is expected the 90 Pro will also retain
the same. The smartphone is also expected to come with two front-facing cameras
in a dual cutout design.
It’s worth noting that Honor will still
use the Samsung ISOCELL HP3 sensor in the Honor 90 series, which is
theoretically capable of outputting 200MP images. This is a significant
improvement over the Honor 80 Pro, which uses a 160MP main camera. It remains
to be seen how the Honor 90 series will fare against other flagship smartphones
in the market. However, according to DCS, the smartphone is going to be less
powerful than OPPO Reno 10 Pro+.
