Honor will be holding a launch event in Paris on July 6 to launch the Honor 90 series smartphones for global markets. The brand is expected to debut two devices at this event, the Honor 90 5G and the Honor 90 Pro. Ahead of the launch, the brand teased that the Honor 90 5G will feature an “enhanced display”. Although the teaser hints at a curved display and rounded edges, it doesn’t provide detailed information about the display itself. Thankfully, the device has already been released in China, granting us access to all the information we need.
The Honor 90 5G boasts a 6.7-inch OLED
display offering an FHD+ resolution of 2664×1200 pixels. Notably, it supports a
refresh rate of up to 120Hz and reaches a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The
display also impresses with its wide color gamut of 1.07 billion colors.
Moreover, a noteworthy feature is the world’s first implementation of 3,840Hz
PWM dimming on this device.
For that unaware, PWM dimming offers
eye-related benefits due to flicker reduction and eye fatigue reduction.
Flickering caused by rapid on-off backlight switching can lead to discomfort or
eye strain for certain individuals. However, PWM dimming at higher frequencies
minimizes or eliminates flickering, resulting in a more comfortable viewing
experience. Additionally, precise control over brightness levels with PWM
dimming helps reduce eye fatigue, which can occur from excessively bright or
dim screen settings. Other than that, the Honor 90 5G will also feature a
Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition SoC, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and
512GB of storage. Additionally, the device will boast a 5000mAh battery with
66W fast charging via a USB Type-C 2.0 port.
When it comes to photography, the Honor 90
is equipped with a 200MP main camera, along with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens
and a 2MP depth-of-field sensor. While it lacks Optical Image Stabilization
(OIS), it does support Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS). Additionally, the
device features a 50MP front-facing camera for capturing selfies.
