HONOR 90 Lite 5G review: Lite, but only in name

Quite frankly, the HONOR 90 Lite 5G is a midrange device with powerhouse specs in a sleek package. An overall great multimedia device with a titanic camera, tons of storage, and long-lasting battery life, to name a few—what’s not to love? And for a P12,990 price tag, this feature-packed sleeper can be yours to enjoy. Better not sleep on this!

The Honor 9 Lite might not have all the mod cons but it's one of the cheapest phones around to offer an 18:9 screen with a bezel-free design. It's an attractive phone and general specs are good, including no less than four cameras. It doesn't have flawless performance but there's little to complain about at under £200 making it one of the best budget phone around.

Honor 9 Lite Review
Source: Yugatech English Archive.org version
The Honor 9 Lite is the phone for those who are looking for something stylish and premium yet doesn’t cost much. It’s not a lightweight in terms of performance as it is good and responsive and can handle graphic-intensive games. Camera quality is okay but don’t expect a lot when shooting in low-light. If you want something that is premium and almost in the same league as the Huawei Nova 2i but for a lower price of Php9,999, this is the one to get.

honor 9 Lite review - A good budget-friendly camera-centric smartphone
Source: Tech Nave English Archive.org version
For a phone that is priced at RM749, there isn't a lot of competition but at the same time, this is a phone for a user who doesn't need a lot of requirements. It looks nice and the camera is quite good, so that's all an average user really needs. While the battery is a bit of a letdown, iy is not that much of a problem when it's not pushed to the limits.

There’s just one little problem. The Honor 9 Lite’s graphics chip isn't powerful enough to make high-end games quite as fast as some other £200 phones. The Moto G5 Plus has the edge here, and takes slightly better photos too, but can’t match Honor for looks.

Source: Recombu English Archive.org version
The Honor 9 Lite is a solid budget smartphone, offering full functionality for media lovers who want a big-screen experience on the move. Of course, there’s not much to differentiate it from other recent affordable Honor and Huawei smartphones. That dual lens selfie camera doesn’t offer much of an upgrade over a single lens experience, while the phone itself is almost identical to the Honor V10, Honor 7X and Huawei P Smart in many respects.

The 5.65-inch Honor 9 Lite is a nicely designed handset with an attractive 18:9 screen that performs well. But it isn't perfect: Honor talks up the two dual-lens cameras, but in fact there are low light issues and the secondary 2-megapixel cameras have limited functionality. Water resistance and fast-charging support are also absent from the feature list.

In many ways the Honor 9 Lite sets a new standard for sub-£200 phones. Its striking looks are well beyond its asking price, delivering a degree of flagship quality. However, there are quirks that hold it back from perfection, while the headline quad camera feature isn't as exciting as it sounds.

Honor 9 Lite: Four cameras and luxe design impress us so far
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
In terms of specs, there's little that competes with the Honor 9 Lite at this price. The Nokia 6 costs around the same but its sluggish performance lets it down, and I personally prefer the glossy blue of the Honor. The Motorola Moto G5 Plus was our budget champion of last year, but its higher price, bulkier design and lack of a neat multicamera setup means the Honor 9 Lite is well placed to usurp the Moto's position.

To conclude, the Honor 9 Lite is surely one of the most beautiful-looking smartphone at this price range that offers some delightful viewing experience. The performance is satisfactory and the camera does a decent job in ample lights. Although, the device is quite slippery in nature and battery is quite mediocre at this price range. So if you want to buy a new smartphone that looks stylish and you are ready to handle it with care than this one you should with.

For the price of ₹10,999, Honor 9 Lite has plenty of things to offer – glass design, large display, quad cameras (dual rear and dual selfie cameras), and Android Oreo out-of-the-box. It’s impressive 18:9 display turns out to the crispier with the full HD+ resolution. It’s slim, lightweight, and the glass at the back feels rich. The battery lasts longer than you think. Honor 9 Lite has all that it got, there isn’t any better consideration when it comes to overall value, it satisfies the needs within the price bracket. The Honor 9 Lite is advised if you are looking for more features in affordable segment.

As pointed above, Honor 9 Lite does come with drawbacks at major areas. Apart from a good design, Honor 9 Lite doesn’t deliver a comprehensive experience.

Overall, the Honor 9 Lite is one of the best phones under Rs. 11,000 currently in the market. It has all the features one would expect in a mid-range smartphone and it works well too. At a starting price of Rs. 10,999, the Honor 9 Lite has a gorgeous design, Quad-camera setup, and a good performance, which makes it a compelling device at this price range. Wish it had fast charging and dedicated SIM slots as well.

Source: Tech PP English Archive.org version
It has the looks and the innards. And at Rs 10,999 for the 3 GB/ 32 GB edition, a heck of a starting price, although the 4 GB/ 64 GB variant costs a stiffer Rs 14,999. So should you be going for the Honor 9 Lite? Well, if you want a decent performing smartphone that still turns heads on a relatively tight budget, the answer is yes. And it is yes again if you want a good cameraphone without spending too much – the Mi A1 costs Rs 2,000 more, remember. In fact, if you are looking for a phone that is in the Rs 11,000 vicinity, the 9 Lite will take some beating. Move to the higher price variant and things get interesting with the likes of the Moto G5s Plus, the Mi A1 and even the massive Mi Max 2 coming into the picture, not to mention Honor’s own 7X sibling. But the Honor 9 Lite does bring the cocktail of quad cameras, eye-catching design and an 18:9 ratio display at a surprisingly affordable price. Which is quite an achievement in the highly competitive Indian phone market.

Huawei certainly has a winner on its hands with the Honor 9 Lite. Yes, there are some shortcomings such as poor camera performance in low-lit conditions, app optimisations among others, but show me a phone that does not have any flaws. The starting price of Rs 10,999 (for the 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage) for a handset that looks this lovely is itself enough for a lot of consumers to pick up this phone. It will certainly give some tough competition to its own sibling, the Honor 7X.

Honor 9 Lite is a good buy if you want a stylish phone that offers a decent overall performance and a good camera. However, battery is a crucial factor for me when it comes to narrowing down on a phone. While Honor 9 Lite seems like a good deal at Rs 10,999, remember this price is for the 3GB RAM variant and you only get 32GB space, which is low when compared to devices in this price-bracket. You can also look at options like Xiaomi Redmi Note 4, M1 A1, or Moto G5s Plus.

As the year drew to a close, a British anthology series premiered another season of exploring and contemplating the many facets of technology and how they impact our lives. I was reeling off a binge-watch of the season when the Honor 9 Lite dropped (cautiously) in my hands. The name of the series, Black Mirror, essentially means, “the reflection of an unlit computer screen”, and when I noticed the all-glass design of the phone, the whole essence of the phrase became more apparent. Honor’s latest offering is all-glass-everywhere, perfected in a way that when the tall screen turned off, I was left rethinking my life as I saw myself.

The Honor 7X and the Honor 9i were good smartphones but both suffered a bit when it came to their cameras and battery performance. It will be interesting to see how the battery in the 9 Lite holds up considering it has a lower capacity than the other two. As for the cameras, having four sensors works as a great marketing point, but doesn’t necessarily mean better quality photos. Still, we’re hopeful that Honor has improved upon its past offerings, and perhaps, the overall experience will be better this time around. Stay tuned to Gadgets 360 for our full review of the Honor 9 Lite, coming up soon.

Comment

Model: As a pioneer of dual-camera technology, Huawei Honor has pushed creative boundaries even further with dual cameras on both the front and rear in their latest Honor 9 Lite and equipped it with a FullView FHD+ display screen to let users see what they are capturing in its full glory. FullView display typically refers to a device with a higher screen-to-device ratio design. The Honor 9 Lite packs an 18:9 Full HD+ screen with no physical front buttons, which makes it a FullView display smartphone. These factors combine to shrink the bezels, resulting in a 75.5 % screen-to-bezel ratio. With a 5.65-inch screen, the Honor 9 Lite isn't too big or too small. This phone can give a generous amount of screen while also being manageable, even for smaller hands. The frame is softly curved and feels solid. The phone's corners are rounded too, which results in a comfortable in-hand feel. For the price, it's sufficiently premium. The smartphone is fairly light too at a weight of 149 g. The glass back, however, is the biggest giveaway that this is actually a fairly budget smartphone. It is an absolute fingerprint magnet, thus it will look grubby almost as soon as user start using it.

The Honor 9 Lite isn’t a flagship phone. It has 32 GB of storage in contrast to the 64 GB or 128 GB found in today's top-enders although a user can choose to add storage through the microSD slot. Its camera has no image stabilization, and it's powered by a mid-range Kirin 659 chipset with 3 GB of RAM. However, this budget smartphone seems to have a lot going for it on paper, packing an 18:9 Full HD+ screen, an aluminium frame, a glass back and Android 8. Honor has managed to follow the Honor 9 and Honor 7X and equip the Honor 9 Lite with a dual camera setup. Both the front and rear of the device play host to one 13 MP and one 2 MP sensor. Just as with the Honor 7X, the smaller secondary sensor is there purely to provide depth information for the included wide aperture and portrait modes. In wide aperture mode, a user can adjust the aggressiveness of the effect on the phone in the editing phase, from an aperture of f/16 (minimal background blur) right up to f/0.95 (blur city). The Honor 9 Lite comes with a 3,000 mAh battery, which is typical for a phone of this size. In general use, Honor claims that users will get a whole day of use out of the phone. In terms of charging, the Honor 9 Lite is a pretty barebones effort. There’s no USB-C, no fast charging, and no wireless charging despite having the glass back. The Honor 9 Lite is a great lower mid-range device but it faces stiff competition from the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

Honor:

In 2014 Huawei created the sub brand Honor and offers certain smartphone series under this name. Occasionally the products are also called Huawei Honor.

The market share of Honor products is manageable, but there are several reviews on Honor smartphones with average ratings (as of 2016).
