Honor is making a comeback to the Indian smartphone market. The company is rumoured to re-enter the world’s second-largest smartphone market with the Honor 90 series. The Honor 90 is a mid-range smartphone, which has been launched in various international markets. Honor has not confirmed any details about the launch date or timeline of its upcoming smartphone in India. However, a new leak claims that the Honor 90 is set to launch in India in the coming weeks.
YouTuber Technical Guruji, in his video, claims that the Honor 90 India launch event will be held in September. The YouTuber did not confirm the exact launch date of the device. There has been a lot of buzz around Honor getting a new India CEO in the form of Madhav Sheth, who was previously the Realme India VP. While we wait for some official details, here’s a look at the Honor 90 specifications, price and features.
Honor 90 India Launch: What We Know So Far
The Honor 90 will be a premium mid-range smartphone launching soon in India. The device is tipped to launch in India in September. YouTuber Technical Guruji did not reveal the exact launch date. Meanwhile, the tipster uploaded an unboxing video, which highlights the phone’s design and specifications.
Based on the details revealed, it looks like the phone will launch in India with the same hardware found in the global model. In that case, the Honor 90 will have a quad-curved design with two circular cutouts on the back for the triple-camera setup. The phone has a curved AMOLED display with a hole-punch cutout at the top centre.
