The HONOR 90 5G is one of the HONOR’s most successful releases in the Philippines to date. Rightfully so, as it offered incredible value for the money, and that’s on top of the sleek and fancy design.
It arrived in the Philippines in three colors, however, there’s one particular variant that people have been clamoring for. Now, the wait is finally over, as the company’s local arm has finally launched the HONOR 90 5G Peacock Blue limited edition.

We were given a chance to get a hold of this coveted model, and today, we want to share with you the unboxing experience and a quick hands-on look at the unique design on the back. And yes, it’s more than just the color.
Enough talking and let’s start digging in.

As a standard to all HONOR devices, the HONOR 90 Peacock Blue comes in a clean, all-white box with the unit’s branding printed in a reflective font.
Opening the top cover you’re greeted with the device itself, wrapped in a matte film so the smartphone is protected and can be easily lifted up. Simply slide it out and you now have this sleek smartphone in your hands.

Lift the hard plastic partition and you’ll see a packet that houses the quick start guide, SIM ejector tool, and of course, a free clear case to keep the device’s fancy design protected at all times. It also adds grip if the device is too thin for comfort.

Digging further we finally see the two special cutouts that hold the USB cable and the wall adapter perfectly. The USB cable is long enough, sturdy, and has orange accents on both ends that match the one on the adapter, so you can instantly tell it’s the one for the HONOR 90 5G in a pool of cables that you may have on your tech bag.

Meanwhile, the wall adapter that it ships with supports 66W HONOR SuperCharge. That’s flagship-level speeds in a midrange device and one of the reasons why the HONOR 90 5G is one of the brand’s best-sellers.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the device. It still has that premium 6.7-inch curved display with a high-end 120Hz AMOLED panel.
It’s also equipped with the ultra-sharp 200-megapixel main camera on the back, joined by a 12-megapixel ultra-wide and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. There are two glasses that hold the whole camera system together, which are both caged in a shiny metallic ring.

Obviously, the main highlight here is the paint job. It has a light blue tone with shimmering glitters across the whole rear panel.
But what makes it more special than the other colors is the unique reflective accent that looks like it’s been lightly touched by a paintbrush.

The said accent changes in colors as it reflects to light. And if you appreciate the design closely, it really does look like a peacock’s feather.
This is, without a doubt, HONOR’s most creative colorway in the market today. It made the device even fancier than it already is for the price.

As for the rest of the specs, the device is still powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 processor with a whopping 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, under-display fingerprint scanner, and a 5,000mAh battery. You can learn more about it in our full review.
