Alongside the standard and Pro models, Honor also unveiled the 300 Ultra smartphone today. As the most expensive model in the series, the 300 Ultra offers a luxurious design, capable cameras, and top-tier performance. Let’s take a closer look at its features here.
Honor 300 Ultra Specifications
The Honor 300 Ultra stands apart from the standard and Pro models with its sophisticated design. It features a 7-layer plain leather back embossed with a subtle pattern, giving it a more premium look.
The phone maintains a comfortable thickness of 8.2mm and weighs 198g for the plain leather version, or slightly heavier at 199g for the glass version. It is available in Ink Rock Black and Camellia White.
Like the Pro model, the 300 Ultra has a triple camera on the back. The main is a 50MP Sony IMX906 sensor, accompanied by a 12MP ultra-wide-angle, and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with optical image stabilization.
Honor claims the 300 Ultra is its “strongest telephoto portrait camera.” It offers 3.8X optical zoom and an impressive 100X digital zoom, along with the series’ signature “SLR-level elegant portrait” function and AI light control engine, ensuring stunning portrait shots in any lighting condition.
Like its siblings, the Ultra runs on MagicOS 9.0 and comes with AI features like focus stacking, background blurring, and image expansion. It also supports 2K high-definition Live Photos that allow users to capture fleeting moments in motion. The front camera matches the other models with a 50MP sensor.
The front is home to a 6.78-inch 2700×1224 OLED quad-curved display, similar to the Pro model, with a 120Hz refresh rate. It also includes 3840Hz PWM dimming, a 4000nit peak brightness, and support for 1.07 billion colors.
Additionally, the phone comes with a range of eye-care features, including natural light protection, AI sleep assistance, and motion sickness relief technology.
The phone gets its raw power from a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip. While the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 features a setup with one high-performance Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.3GHz, three Cortex-A720 cores running at 3.2GHz, two Cortex-A720 cores at 3.0GHz, and two efficiency-focused Cortex-A520 cores at 2.3GHz, the version in the 300 Ultra has a slightly different configuration.
In it, the chip includes one Cortex-X4 core clocked at 3.0GHz for peak performance, five Cortex-A720 cores running at 2.95GHz to handle demanding tasks efficiently, and two Cortex-A520 cores clocked at 2.0GHz for less intensive operations. It appears like a bit downclocked version of the standard 8 Gen 3.
Nevertheless, the company has paired it with a 36842mm² stainless steel bionic VC heat dissipation system to keep thermals under control.
Fueling the phone is the same 5300mAh battery as other models, with support for 100W charging. Honor claims the phone can go from 0 to 59% battery in just 15 minutes and can fully charge in 35 minutes. Additionally, the phone supports 80W wireless fast charging.
Rounding out the package, the Honor 300 Ultra features master-level stereo dual speakers, a linear vibration motor, and IP55 dust and water resistance for peace of mind.
Connectivity options include NFC, Wi-Fi 7, infrared remote control, Beidou satellite SMS capabilities, and the ability to connect directly to Gaode maps via satellite without a network connection – perfect for off-the-grid adventures.
Pricing and Availability
The Honor 300 Ultra starts at a premium price point of 4199 yuan ($610) for the 12GB RAM and 512GB storage option. The top-tier model with 16GB RAM and 1TB of storage will set you back 4699 yuan ($680).
