Max Parker of Trusted Reviews, along with GSMArena, praised the 5G connectivity available for a lower price compared to flagship devices, while critiquing the fact that there are flagship devices without 5G available for similar or lower prices.[14][9] Britta O'Boyle of Pocket Lint positively described the phone's screen, power, and 5G, recommending it for consumers considering purchasing a 5G device.[7]TechRadar, in its hands-on review, also praised the phone's display and battery, while critiquing the weight of the device and the UI of the camera application.[15] It also called the device one of the five best smartphones announced at the IFA 2019.[16]
Interestingly, the Galaxy A90 uses glass for its back instead of plastic like its cheaper sibling, the Galaxy A70. The glass panel features geometric patterns giving it a more distinct look and the available colors are Black and White.
