Honor 90 launch in India will take place in September as the Chinese smartphone manufacturer makes a return to the country, according to a report. The handset was launched in China earlier this year alongside the flagship-grade Honor 90 Pro. It is equipped with a 200-megapixel rear camera, runs on a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, and packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 66W charging, but the phone could launch with slightly different specifications when it arrives in India.

A recent IANS report (via Siasat Daily) claims that the Honor 90 will be launched in the premium segment in the middle of September. The report does not cite a source for the information or mention a specific launch date for the handset, but the report comes days after a similar timeline for the phone to debut in India was tipped by a YouTube creator. Launched in China in May, pricing for the phone starts at CNY 2,499 (roughly Rs. 28,700) for the base 12GB + 256GB RAM and storage configuration.

According to the report, the Honor 90 will be launched in India at around Rs. 45,000. This is considerably higher than the price of other smartphones that are equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 chipset, and the phone is expected to compete with phones like the Google Pixel 7a, Nothing Phone 2, iQoo Neo 7 Pro, and OnePlus 11R that offer more capable chipsets in the same price range.
