The Honor 90 Lite 5G is the latest mid-range mobile launched by the Asian firm in Spain. And, perhaps, one of the most important in its catalogue, considering that mobile phones are mainly sold for less than 500 euros in said market.
In hypertextual we have had the opportunity to test it during the last days, before its launch. And the general impression has been quite positive. An economical product, striking from an aesthetic point of view and with a good set of benefits.
Of course: is this the mobile you should buy?
How is the Honor 90 Lite?
The Honor 90 Lite is not exactly a small device. It has dimensions of 162.9 mm high, 74.5 mm wide and 7.5 mm thick. And as for its weight, it is calculated at 179 grams. Of course: despite not being small, it feels light and compact in the hand even after long periods.
On the other hand, the Honor 90 Lite 5G has a striking design in which two main things stand out: flat sides, like those of a modern iPhone, and a back that appears frosted.

This Honor 90 Lite comes with a large screen with IPS technology, a diagonal of 6.7 inches and a resolution that reaches 1,080 x 2,388 pixels. However, it has left me feeling somewhat cold, literally. Its colors have a strong tendency towards blue tones, something that can be uncomfortable. In addition, the color reproduction is not entirely successful either. It is usable, but keep in mind that you will notice the difference with terminals with other types of technologies on their panel and similar prices.
The Honor 90 Lite 5G presents us with a fairly complete set of cameras
On the front of this Honor 90 Lite 5G we will find a 16 MP and f/2.45 camera. Yes ok is enough to make video calls with friends and familyKeep in mind that it does not give rise to high-quality photos. Of course, more than one can look good with some post-production. At night, unfortunately, its quality does suffer, making artifacts in the image more noticeable.
Meanwhile, on its back, this Honor 90 Lite 5G presents us with a trio of sensors. The first of them with 100 MP and f/1.9. The second is a 5 MP f/2.2 wide-angle lens, and the last is a 2 MP f/2.4 macro lens. Despite the big numbers that the main camera throws out, the quality is just fine. It will help you capture your day-to-day adventures, but without too much fanfare.
More than enough performance for day to day and all users
Inside this Honor 90 Lite 5G we found a MediaTek Dimensity 6020 processor with 8 cores. Next to it, we find an 8 GB RAM memory and an internal storage that, in the case of the model used for these impressions, is 256 GB.
During our tests, the Honor 90 Lite 5G has managed to behave quite well. We have tested them with the popular Call of Duty: Mobile, and has managed to move it at a fairly high frame rate per second. Of course, we will see a graphic limitation within the game, although in terms of performance it has not disappointed us.
You won’t have to worry about your battery. This Honor 90 Lite 5G has about 4,500 mAh, which will ensure a fairly long usage time during the day. While I was testing it, I only managed to download it once, which was not a problem thanks to its 35W fast charge, which will allow you to reach 55% in just half an hour.
Conclusions regarding this Honor 90 Lite 5G
The Honor 90 Lite 5G is already on sale in Spain for a price of 299 euros. As you will have seen, it is a mid-range terminal that, without shining in specific aspects, will undoubtedly meet the needs of all those who do not want to spend too large sums in the process.
Of course: in front of him he has very solid alternatives not only from Xiaomi, but also from other brands such as Realme. To stand out, as always, the sales strategy will be essential: promotions, special prices with operators, etc.
