Lots of Honor fans are looking forward to the global launch of the Honor 50. Initially thought to be launching first in Europe later this month, the phone has gotten a surprise launch in Malaysia first.

The Honor 50 is the first Honor phone to launch with Google Mobile Services since the company was acquired from Huawei last year. Fans of the Honor brand who had to hold on to their old phones or switch to another brand when Honor was still owned by Huawei can now pick up the new phone without worrying about not having Google services pre-installed.

With a starting price of RM1699, the Honor 50 has a 6.57-inch FHD+ curved OLED display with a centered punch hole for a 32MP front-facing camera. The screen has a 120Hz refresh rate and is capable of displaying up to 1.07 billion colors.

There is a Snapdragon 778G processor powering it and it is paired with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of non-expandable storage. The Honor 50 has four rear cameras spread between its two circular camera housing. The primary sensor is a 108MP f/1.9 camera that sits at the top and below it is an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera.

Honor 50’s price tag leaks ahead of launch in Europe and it isn’t cheap

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 11:32:04 +0000

Last week, we reported that the Honor 50 will be heading to Europe this month. Honor itself has confirmed the launch date and has already put up listings of the phone, excluding the price tag, in some regions. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait until the launch date to know how much the device will cost.

The Honor 50 starts at ¥2699 (~€362) in China and for that price you get a phone with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The listing on the Honor Germany website revealed that the base configuration of the phone sold in Europe will have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Unfortunately, it won’t cost less just because it has a smaller RAM.

As reported by Winfuture.de, the Honor 50 will be priced at €499 which is about ¥3718 when converted to Chinese Yuan. Honor will also offer the phone in a second configuration that has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and this version will sell for €599. In China, it is priced at ¥2999 (~€402).

While it isn’t expected that the Honor 50 will sell for the same price as it goes for in Honor’s home country, the difference is quite significant. Honor will also face stiff competition from other brands such as Motorola whose Edge 20 smartphone is powered by the same Snapdragon 778G chipset. The Edge 20 Pro is priced at €499 for the 8+128GB version and it has an edge (no pun intended) over the Honor 50. Its refresh rate is not only higher at 144Hz compared to the 120Hz of the Honor 50 but it also packs better cameras. Although the Honor 50 has the advantage of packing a bigger battery capacity and supporting a faster charging technology.

Another competing device priced lower is the Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE which is priced at €369 for the 6+128GB version and €399 for the 8+128GB version.

The Honor 50 has a 6.57-inch FHD+ 120Hz display with a centered punch hole that houses a 32MP camera. On the back is a 108MP primary sensor along with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera and two 2MP sensors for macro and depth. It has an in-display fingerprint scanner, a 4300mAh battery, and charges at 66W.

When it launches on October 26, long-standing Honor fans who have been longing for an Honor smartphone with Google Mobile Services may overlook its high price tag and choose it over other devices.
