Honor will be holding a launch event in Paris on July 6 to launch the Honor 90 series smartphones for global markets. The brand is expected to debut two devices at this event, the Honor 90 5G and the Honor 90 Pro. Ahead of the launch, the brand teased that the Honor 90 5G will feature an “enhanced display”.

Although the teaser hints at a curved display and rounded edges, it doesn’t provide detailed information about the display itself. Thankfully, the device has already been released in China, granting us access to all the information we need.

What’s special about the Honor 90 5G’s display?

The Honor 90 5G boasts a 6.7-inch OLED display offering an FHD+ resolution of 2664×1200 pixels. Notably, it supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz and reaches a peak brightness of 1,600 nits. The display also impresses with its wide color gamut of 1.07 billion colors. Moreover, a noteworthy feature is the world’s first implementation of 3,840Hz PWM dimming on this device.

For that unaware, PWM dimming offers eye-related benefits due to flicker reduction and eye fatigue reduction. Flickering caused by rapid on-off backlight switching can lead to discomfort or eye strain for certain individuals. However, PWM dimming at higher frequencies minimizes or eliminates flickering, resulting in a more comfortable viewing experience. Additionally, precise control over brightness levels with PWM dimming helps reduce eye fatigue, which can occur from excessively bright or dim screen settings.

other than that, the Honor 90 5G will also feature a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition SoC, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Additionally, the device will boast a 5000mAh battery with 66W fast charging via a USB Type-C 2.0 port.

The post Honor 90 series release schedule leaked, coming at the end of May appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor is gearing up to launch its new 90 series, and recent news reveals some exciting developments regarding the upcoming smartphones. As per China’s 3C certification, the Honor 90 (REA-AN00) and Honor 90 Pro (REP-AN00) will feature powerful charging capabilities of up to 100W. This means users can expect ultra-fast charging speeds to juice up their devices. The devices also went through MIIT certification a few weeks back.

Honor 90 series on 3C certification

DigitalChatStation, a popular tipster, also leaked some information about the Honor 90 Pro, revealing that it will support the new 20V 4.5A (90) turbocharging protocol. This feature will allow users to recharge their phone’s battery at an incredibly fast speed.

The 3C certification has revealed that the Honor 90 Pro will come with an HN-200500C05/C06 model charger capable of outputting a maximum of 100W, while the Honor 90 will be equipped with an HN-110600C00/C01/C02 supported charger that can handle up to 66W.

Both the Honor 90 and 90 Pro are expected to come with a high-resolution screen of 1.5K+. The devices will be powered by the latest 5G Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, ensuring excellent performance.

This is a significant upgrade from the 160MP camera used in the previous model, and it will undoubtedly provide users with exceptional photographic capabilities. However, it remains to be seen how the company will leverage this impressive camera technology.

While Honor has not yet confirmed the launch date for the 90 series, previous leaks suggest that it may happen later this month or early next.

The post Honor 90 and Honor 90 Pro receive 3C certification, reveals 100W charger appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor, the former sub-brand of Huawei, has been spotted on the website of the China Quality Certification (CQC) center with its upcoming smartphone, the Honor 90. The listing has unveiled some details and features of the device, indicating that it is likely to launch in the near future. The gadget will launch alongside the Honor 90 Pro smartphone.

According to the CQC listing, the Honor 90 will have a model number REA-AN00 and will support 5G connectivity and 66W fast charging. The Honor 90 is expected to hit the market in the coming weeks, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. Apart from this, the website does not reveal any further information regarding the device.

On Weibo, a Chinese source has earlier claimed that the next Honor 90 may debut there by the end of May. According to him, the series would incorporate significant camera department enhancements and learn from the faults of its forerunner. According to rumors, the Honor 90 smartphones have optical image stabilization (OIS) to lessen camera shake in videos. Upgrades to video recording and image processing may also be made.

As per previous reports, the Honor 90 Pro is set to feature a SK5HP3 main camera. The Honor 80 Pro, which was launched earlier, featured a 160-megapixel primary camera that was essentially a customized version of Samsung’s 200-megapixel SK5HP3 camera sensor. Therefore, it is highly probable that the Honor 90 Pro will retain the same 160-megapixel primary camera as its predecessor.

The series was previously listed on MIIT as well. The MIIT website has listed the model numbers of the devices as REA-AN00 for the Honor 90 and REP-AN00 for the Honor 90 Pro.

The month of May will be as busy as April if not more in terms of smartphone launches. Only 3 events are officially confirmed so far. But there are multiple other expected conferences, the dates for which should be revealed in the coming days.

We are looking forward to new product releases from a whopping 12 brands. Apple and Samsung are the only major companies that might not debut new phones. Though the latter may introduce certain already announced handsets in newer markets.

These forthcoming devices will be spread across different price segments. Most of the phones on the list are being launched ahead of the 618 shopping festival in China, which annually occurs during mid to late June.

That does not mean there won’t be any global releases. In fact, we will be witnessing the debut of some of the most anticipated smartphones of 2023.

With that out of the way, let’s go through all the handouts that are about to launch in May.

Upcoming Smartphones in May 2023

The Poco F5 series will be unveiled on May 9 at 8 PM GMT+8. The lineup will include two devices, namely Poco F5 and Poco F5 Pro.

The standard and pro variants will be rebranded Redmi Note 12 Turbo and Redmi K60, respectively. They will be even sold in original Redmi colors instead of the usual Poco color schemes.

Just like the last Poco F Pro model (Poco F2 Pro), the Poco F5 Pro will not be sold in India. The vanilla F5 will come with 256GB as standard and is tipped to cost below ₹30,000 in India and $500 in other regions.

Honor is gearing up to launch its latest offering, the Honor 90 series, which has recently passed the network access certification of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT). Reports suggest that the high-end version of the Honor 90 series will come equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip.

Although the detailed specifications and photos of the Honor 90 series have not surfaced yet, the MIIT website has listed the model numbers of the devices as REA-AN00 for the Honor 90 and REP-AN00 for the Honor 90 Pro. Rumors indicate that the Honor 90 lineup could be announced in May and be made available for purchase in time for China’s 618 online shopping festival.

According to Digital Chat Station, a reliable tipster, the Honor 90 Pro will retain some of the core specifications of its predecessor, the Honor 80 Pro, including the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. The tipster also claims that the Honor 90 Pro will feature a 1.5K resolution and a high-frequency dimming curved screen. Since Honor 80 Pro comes with a 6.78-inch 120Hz OLED display it is expected the 90 Pro will also retain the same. The smartphone is also expected to come with two front-facing cameras in a dual cutout design.

It’s worth noting that Honor will still use the Samsung ISOCELL HP3 sensor in the Honor 90 series, which is theoretically capable of outputting 200MP images. This is a significant improvement over the Honor 80 Pro, which uses a 160MP main camera. It remains to be seen how the Honor 90 series will fare against other flagship smartphones in the market. However, according to DCS, the smartphone is going to be less powerful than OPPO Reno 10 Pro+.

Honor is reportedly working on the Honor 90 series of smartphones. Some reports have claimed that the Honor 90 lineup will be announced in May and made available for purchase just in time for China’s 618 (June 18) online shopping festival. Today, tipster Digital Chat Station shared key details of what appears to be the Honor 90 Pro.

According to the tipster, the topmost model in the Honor 90 series, which appears to be the Honor 90 Pro, will have the same core specifications as the predecessor model, the Honor 80 Pro. The 80 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset. The same chip is likely to power the Honor 90 Pro.

The leak further states that the alleged Honor 90 Pro’s screen will support a 1.5K resolution and high-frequency dimming. As far as the display design is concerned, it will have curved edges and a cutout for housing dual front-facing cameras. It appears that the smartphone may retain the Honor 80 Pro’s 6.78-inch OLED that offers an FHD+ resolution of 1224 x 2700 pixels and a 120Hz refresh rate.

DCS also said that the Honor 90 Pro will have a SK5HP3 main camera, which will capture slightly enhanced photos than before. To recall, the Honor 80 Pro came equipped with a 160-megapixel primary camera. It is nothing but a custom version of the 200-megapixel Samsung SK5HP3 camera sensor. It is likely that the Honor 90 Pro will continue to feature the same 160-megapixel primary camera.

The other details of the Honor 90 Pro are yet to be revealed. The tipster claimed that it will be inferior to the OPPO Reno 10 Pro+, which is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 SoC.
