Honor 90: A Comprehensive Review
The Honor 90 is the latest flagship from the Chinese tech giant, Honor. It is a lightweight and slim device that comes with a curved display. The device has been making waves in the market, with its unique design and features.
Drop Test Results
The Honor 90 has been put to the test in a drop test. The test was done unintentionally, when the device slipped out of the pocket and fell from a height of 4 feet. Surprisingly, the device survived the fall, although the screen was damaged. The area where it fell was made of concrete, which could have caused more damage if it was any other smartphone with a curved display.
Walnut Test Results
The Honor 90 has also been used to break walnuts. The results of the test vary depending on the type of walnut used. Some walnuts break easily while some don’t. It is important to note that the device is meant to be used as a handset and not as a tool to break walnuts. The curved display of the device is brittle and can be easily damaged.
The Honor 90 is a flagship device that boasts a curved display, making it a desirable choice for users looking for a sleek and stylish device. However, the curved display also makes it more prone to damage if dropped. To test the durability of the Honor 90, a real drop test was conducted.
The results of the test were mixed. On the one hand, the Honor 90 proved to be tough, as it did not break when dropped from a height of about 2 meters. On the other hand, the curved display was still brittle, as evidenced by the accumulation of small crystals at the upper part of the display. This area had the most impact and had turned powder-like, but the glass had not actually broken.
The handset still remained in working condition, despite the crack on the screen. This is a significant result, as it means that the Honor 90 is still usable even after being dropped. This is an important factor to consider when purchasing a smartphone, as it can be a major inconvenience if the device is rendered unusable after a drop.
The Honor 90’s curved display may be slightly stronger than other handsets, but this does not guarantee that it will not be damaged if dropped. The results of the drop test show that the device is tough, but still brittle, and the outcome of a drop depends largely on luck.

Design

The handset is also very slim, with a thickness of 7.8 mm and a weight of 183 grams, making it very lightweight.
