Verdict

The Honor 90 Lite is a slim, lightweight 5G smartphone running MagicOS 7.1 based on Android 13, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6020 processor with a substantial 8GB of RAM and 256GB of non-expandable storage. Its main characteristics include a 6.7-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate and a versatile 100MP main camera.

Cons include a mono speaker, the absence of a 3.5mm headphone jack, a mediocre 5MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro cameras, video recording capped at 1080p, and the fact that a charger is often not included in the box.
