About the Honor 90 Smart
The Honor 90 Smart shares a name with the rest of the 90 family but very little else - it is a budget 5G handset built around one clear priority: a big screen and a big battery. The 6.8-inch LCD is one of the largest you will find at this end of the market, and while it is an IPS panel rather than OLED, the 90Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling smooth in a way most cheap phones still do not manage. The 5,330mAh battery is the real headline, comfortably clearing a day and a half of ordinary use, and 35W charging is quick for the money. The MediaTek Dimensity 6020 handles messaging, streaming and light gaming without complaint, but it will show its limits in demanding games. The 108MP main camera takes respectable daylight shots; the 2MP macro and depth sensors alongside it are filler. There is a headphone jack, which is increasingly rare, but no microSD slot, so pick your storage carefully at purchase. It is a sensible choice for anyone who values screen size and endurance over speed or camera versatility.

Honor 90 Smart Specifications
Spec Scores
Under £200 Phones · 124 phones
- Dimensity 6020
- Octa-core (2x2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 & 6x2.0 GHz Cortex-A55)
Based on calibrated CPU benchmark rankings (60%) and GFXBench GPU scores (40%). Apple chipsets included via editorial calibration since AnTuTu under-represents Apple's architecture.
- 6.8 inches
- 1080 x 2412 pixels
- IPS, 90Hz, 850 nits peak
Based on panel type (LTPO is the modern flagship gold standard), resolution, refresh rate, peak brightness, screen size, and HDR10+ / Dolby Vision support. Marketing peak-brightness claims are capped at 3500 nits to prevent inflation.
Lab-measured by DXOMARK (79 on their scale). The measured result replaces our spec-sheet estimate for this category.
- Triple camera setup
- 108 MP main camera
- 1080p video recording
Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality. Where DXOMARK has lab-tested the phone, its measured score replaces this estimate.
- 8 MP front camera
- 1080p selfie video
Based on the image-processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra and Honor Magic lead on computational processing), sensor resolution in tiers rather than raw megapixels, autofocus, aperture and max selfie-video resolution. Calibrated against DXOMARK's selfie protocol.
- 5,330 mAh
- 35W wired
Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
