The Honor 50 series is highly anticipated especially for international fans of the Honor brand. Last week, the manufacturer confirmed that the upcoming smartphone series will be powered by the newly announced Snapdragon 778G processor. Now, it has also confirmed that the phones will have Google Mobile Services.
The info was confirmed by the official Honor Germany Twitter account as a reply to a question asking if the Honor 50 series will have Google Mobile Services. This is definitely good news for Honor fans across the globe. Also, considering the original tweet was about the Honor 50 series, it is safe to say that the phones will be announced in Germany.
Ja, das können wir bestätigen. Aber pssst, soll noch eine Überraschung werden 😉

Last year, Huawei sold Honor to Zhixin New Information Technology Co. Ltd, a consortium formed by agents and dealers of the Honor brand and Shenzhen Smart City Development Group Co. Ltd. Following the transfer of the brand to new owners, Honor has been in talks with American companies it was previously banned from conducting business with when it was still owned by Huawei. Some of those companies include Qualcomm and Google – the former for its chipset, and the latter for its mobile services for devices sold outside China.
With the recent announcements, we now know the talks went well and Honor can now do business with these companies and others that it was previously barred from by the U.S. government.
The Honor 50 series is yet to get a launch date but we are sure the launch will happen soon, rather than later.
