Honor 90 GT Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Honor 90 GT is not just a gaming device

Since its inception, the GT line of smartphones from the Chinese company Honor has been aimed at an audience of budget-conscious gamers. The phones offered excellent performance, but to maintain a reasonable cost, the developer made significant compromises. However, the hero of today's review came out much more balanced compared to his predecessors.

The appearance of the new product is more than good for the price segment. The design combines thin screen frames, a variety of colors for the rear glass panels (the blue version with a white stripe was especially successful), and a modern dual camera unit. Of course, there were traces of savings in the form of plastic edging, but opponents usually do not differ in anything better. The 6.7-inch AMOLED display is close to its flagship counterparts in terms of picture detail (resolution 2664x1200 pixels), its smoothness (120 Hz refresh rate), and peak brightness (2600 nits). I don’t want to express any complaints about the displayed image at all.

Similar words also apply to technical characteristics, because they are represented by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, 12GB/16GB/24GB of RAM and the Adreno 740 video core. The combination is still one of the most productive today, so it can handle any task. And we are talking not only and not so much about the performance of the Android 13 interface, but about resource-intensive games. Genshin Impact, Undecember, Fortnite - the list of projects that function perfectly with high graphic presets can be continued for a very long time. The size of the permanent memory has been increased to 256/512/1024GB, so the lack of a slot for MicroSD cards will not be a serious problem for the user. You will also be pleased by the fact that the manufacturer did not skimp on the battery. The 5000 mAh battery can withstand up to 8-9 hours of active screen time and has fast charging power of 100W.

The photographic capabilities of the device cannot be criticized either. The main 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 sensor with hybrid stabilization and a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens do not succumb even to complex shooting scenarios. Of course, noise and blur will be present in night shots or photographs with extremely dynamic objects, but the number of artifacts will not be critical. Stereo sound is available, its volume is above average. NFC contactless payments, support for 5G networks, a gyroscope, and an infrared port for controlling household appliances complement the already extensive list of advantages of a technological device recommended for purchase.
