While prepping for the Magic 6 series launch, Honor quietly launched the X50 Pro smartphone in China today. This low-key release could be because Honor is targeting the X50 Pro as an offline-focused device, meaning it’ll be primarily sold in physical stores.

However, rumors have it that the X50 Pro may launch as the Honor X50 GT, which could be targeted for online sales. Honor confirmed the X50 GT’s China launch on January 6th, equipped with the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip, matching the X50 Pro. So a potential rebranding could be on the cards. 

Anyway, the smartphone comes in two shades — Green and Black — and in a single 12/256GB variant for 2,799 Yuan (approximately $425). 

Honor X50 Pro Specifications

TheX50 Pro features a 6.78-inch curved OLED display with 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. This is also a 10-bit screen, supports 1920Hz PWM dimming, and has an in-display fingerprint scanner for biometrics.

The circular camera module on the back houses a 108MP main sensor and a 2MP macro lens. For selfies, there is an 8MP front-facing camera. The phone is also slim at an 8.45mm profile and weighs 192g. 

Reportedly, Honor is using an underclocked version of the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC on the device. There’s also a 5100 mm2 vapor cooling system to keep the phone’s thermals under control. It boots on Magic OS 7.2 based on Android 13. 

Keeping the lights on is a 5800mAh battery with support for 35W charging. Other specifications of the device include support for NFC, Bluetooth 5.2, and a USB Type-C port.
