It has been a long wait for global fans of Honor who have been expecting the Chinese manufacturer to announce its new phones with Google Mobile Services. Now, that wait will come to an end next month as the Honor 50 series makes its way to Europe.

Honor will announce the Honor 50 series on October 27 and it has already sent out invites for the launch event according to the German blog, Winfuture.de. The Honor 50 5G is already listed on the Honor Germany website and the listing reveals the premium mid-range phone will be available in two configurations – 6+128GB and 8+256GB. Buyers will be able to purchase the phone in Midnight Black, Frost Crystal, Emerald Green, and the recently announced HONOR Code colorway. Unfortunately, the prices were not included.

Alongside the Honor 50 5G, Honor is also expected to launch a second phone called the Honor 50 Lite that will have a 64MP primary camera and 4G LTE instead of 5G. In China, the Honor 50 series has three models – the Honor 50 5G, Honor 50 Pro 5G, and the Honor 50 SE which also has 5G.

The Honor 50 was launched in China in June. The phone has a 6.57-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a centered punch hole for a 32MP front-facing camera. The primary rear camera is a 108MP sensor and it sits above an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor.

The phone is powered by the Snapdragon 778G and the Chinese version comes in 8GB RAM and 12GB RAM variants with 128GB or 256GB of storage. The phone also packs a 4300mAh battery, has support for 66W fast charging, and runs Magic UI 4.2 based on Android 11. When it launches in Europe, it should still run Android 11 but come with Google Mobile Services.

Honor 50 series models were assembled by BYD Electronics

Honor yesterday unveiled the Honor 50 series made up of the Honor 50, Honor 50 Pro, and the more affordable Honor 50 SE. Now, the Honor 50 series is the first flagship developed after Honor became an independent company from Huawei. What this means is that the product design and product weren’t handled by Huawei.

Chinese electronics manufacturer BYD Electronic has released a document that reveals that the Honor 50 series was completely assembled by it. This happens to be the first smartphone model BYD will be assembling. The company was responsible for the entire processing and production of the Honor 50 mobile phones, including SMT, assembly, testing, and packaging.

This isn’t the first phone BYD would be manufacturing, though, and also not the first Honor model. The company was responsible for the manufacture of the Honor 7, Honor 8, Honor 9, Honor X10, Honor V30, V40, and a few others.

Recall that the Honor 50 and Honor 50 Pro are powered by a Snapdragon 778 processor while the Honor 20 SE packs a Dimensity 900 SoC. The models pack a unique circular camera module with a 100MP main sensor on the three models. Their screen sizes and design differs, though. The Honor 50 features a 6.57-inch curved screen with a centralized single punch-hole on top of the display while the Honor 50 Pro sports a 6.72-inch curved screen with a dual punch-hole located at the top left corner of the screen. The Honor 50 SE, on the other hand, sports a 6.78-inch flat screen with a single punch-hole design.

The three models also score another first as they are Honor’s first model to ship with GMS after severing ties with Huawei. We expect the company to announce the global rollout schedule soon.
