I bought the HONOR 90 Lite to replace my 5.5 year old Honor 9 Lite which was starting to show signs of age. Previous to this, I was stuck in the extortion Apple bubble. Thanks to the availability of so many affordable, reliable, and high quality android brands, I decided to make the brave transition and have never looked back with any regret.
Having used this Honor 90 Lite for a month, I am very pleased with the upgrade and hugely impressed by the quality / features / price ratio. The vastly improved specifications is a huge leap forward compare to the 9 Lite with only 3gb RAM, 32gb Storage, a 3000mah battery, and a 13 MP main camera. Thanks to the the main stars which are the generous 8gb RAM and the whopping 256gb storage, this phone is extremely snappy and a pleasure to operate. The 100MP main camera takes brilliant photos, while the larger screen and the ultra thin bezel deliver a much improved visual experience.
With the unique Honor app DEVICE CLONE, I was able to transfer all datas ( including all my downloaded APPS) from the old HONOR to the new HONOR effortlessly using a C to C cable ( an adaptor is needed on the old phone as it is a micro USB). The only APP that I had to apply more work is WHATSAPP, as I wanted all my contacts and chat history to be transferred as well.
There are some drawbacks including lack of 3.5 jack, no internal memory card slot, lower screen brightness, and the screen is LCD and not AMOLED. However, I can accept the minor compromise as I don’t feel like paying £100 more for these features found in the Redmi Note 13 5G with similar camera size, memory and storage capacity.
As technology changes so rapidly theses days, the relatively affordable price of this reliable Chinese phone means that I can upgrade to newer technology more often without feeling guilty.
