Haier N90 Overall Review

The Haier N90, announced in Q2 2006, is a feature phone that stands out for its era with a 2.4-inch display, providing a decent screen size for viewing text and images. The phone comes equipped with a 2 MP primary camera, a common specification for mobile phones of that time, allowing for basic photography.

One of the critical features of the N90 is its 720 mAh battery, which, by modern standards, may seem small but was adequate given the phone’s limited power consumption due to its basic functionality. The N90 was designed for users who needed fundamental mobile capabilities such as calling, text messaging, and the occasional snapshot, without the complexities of the smartphones that would follow in the coming years.

The phone’s design likely reflects the style of the mid-2000s, focusing on functionality over the slimness and screen size that would become prominent in later designs. Features such as MP3/MP4 playback capability, along with basic organizational tools like a calendar and alarm, would have made it a useful device for everyday tasks.
