Honor, the smartphone maker which went independent earlier this year, has confirmed that its upcoming device, the Honor 50 series, will be officially launched in China on 16th June.
Earlier, the company had confirmed that the Honor 50 will come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC. We expect the Pro variant of the smartphone to pack the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset.
The smartphone brand has also received permission to start using Google Mobile Services on its devices and a recent tweet by Honor Germany confirmed that the Honor 50 series will have support for GMS, paving way for the global debut of the device.
Based on the leaks so far, it appears that the phone features a large pill-shaped camera module in the top-left corner that holds two large circles. The top circle packs a single camera sensor — the primary one while the bottom circle has a periscope zoom lens and a third camera sensor.
As per the leaks, the smartphone will be made available in three color options — Yellow, Blue, and Purple. There could be a few more colors but we will know about it when the phones go official. The Honor branding on the back is also much smaller than its predecessors.
Soon after splitting from Huawei, Honor started talks with other companies and suppliers as it could source components from companies that were banned to do so when Honor was a part of Huawei. The company has received a nod to do business with Qualcomm, Intel, AMD, Google, and more, which is still not possible for Huawei due to the U.S. sanctions.
