The Honor 60 series had just been launched in the Chinese market. After the launch event ended, the company’s CEO, Zhao Ming, accepted an interview in which he talked about the brand’s emphasis on good optimization.

According to MyDrivers report, the senior official said in the interview that only a few smartphone brands have been able to utilize the full potential of existing mobile chipsets. He further added that back in June, the company had launched its Honor 50 series, which was quite successful in the company’s home market of China. The executive stated that the company had even tested various on the smartphone that featured the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC and found that the phone managed to rival and even beat some devices that featured the high end flagship Snapdragon 888 chip.

For those unaware, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 700 series of chips are aimed towards mid range handsets while the Snapdragon 800 series are targeted towards top end premium phones. So, these results did not imply that the 778G was faster than the 888, rather that the company’s optimizations were better than the competition. Zhao Ming said that the overall performance offered from the chipset and its energy efficiency optimizations was poor in some Snapdragon 888 phones from other brands.

In other words, the official said Honor will work with mobile chipmakers to offer various solutions to further improve their SoC offerings. He stated that Honor will jointly work with chipmakers to offer better optimizations that is geared as per the consumer’s needs. This includes any issue in design or the inability to solve customer’s problems that are based around application scenarios. Ming believes that the Honor 50 series’ in depth optimization that offers a great user experience is the reason why the device saw success in China.

The post Honor 50 series’ user experience with Snapdragon 778G rivals Snapdragon 888 phones: Exec appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Honor 50 series has been doing rounds on the internet for months due to one reason – Honor had confirmed that the smartphones will be the first in quite some time to ship with Google’s apps and services, in accordance with Google’s licensing and governance models. Until now, both Huawei and Honor have been dependent on HMS (Huawei Mobile Services) following the Huawei ban, which is in no way a substitute for Google services outside of China.

And now, the Shenzhen-based company took to Twitter to announce that they have succeeded in confirming cooperation with a number of supplier partners in the early stage, thus hinting at its imminent launch.

Further, the tweet emphasized that the Honor 50 series will be equipped with Google Mobile Services (GMS), which will “provide a more comprehensive application environment and extraordinary mobile experience to our customers.”

Of course, most of the apps that are used outside of China still continue to depend on GMS for plenty of their functionality. Take WhatsApp for example which uploads backups to Google Drive. Consumers know of how essential the services are and have thus been hesitant from purchasing Honor devices, despite them being quite compelling in every other way.

But with Honor 50 now coming with the Google Play Store and every other essential Google service once again, it’s clear that they’re set to make a comeback.

Turning to the devices themselves, the Honor 50 and 50 Pro both have an especially eye-catching camera module with two distinct circles, both housing their own set of cameras. Both have four cameras at the rear including a 100-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle, a 2-megapixel macro, and a 2-megapixel depth camera. On the front, the Honor 50 Pro has a pair of selfie cameras, combining a 32-megapixel camera with a 12-megapixel ultrawide. The non-Pro variant has a single 32-megapixel camera.

Honor unveiled the Honor 50 series back in June and the series came with the vanilla Honor 50 and the Honor 50 Pro.  The two models were made available in four different color schemes – snow crystal, summer amber, black jade green, and bright black. Looks like Honor is now set to release a new color option for the series.

The Huawei spin-off company shared a promotional video on Weibo pointing to the unveiling of a new color option for the Honor 50 series on Monday, August 30, 2021. The teaser suggests that the new color scheme will reflect the artistic outline of the present color options and will be fashion-themed.

We’ll have to wait till Monday to find out what Honor is cooking. Whatever it is, we expect the new model to retain the configuration of the current models including the Snapdragon 778G chipset, a 6.57-inch OLED curved screen that supports a 120Hz screen refresh rate, and 300Hz touch sampling rate. The Honor 50 series also packs a 4000mAh battery that supports a 66W fast charge while the Honor 50 Pro supports a 100W super fast charge.

In addition, the Honor 50 and 50 Pro models are equipped with four rear cameras, including a 100-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. On the front side, there’s a 32-megapixel snapper for taking selfies. The phone runs Magic UI 4.2 based on Android 11.

Honor is back in the segment of the premium smartphones with an amazing upper-midrange phone: Honor 50 Pro. It will soon be launched even in the global market with Google Mobile Services as the brand is now fully separated from Huawei and under another company. Another brand that recently came up with an upper-midrange phone which is coming soon in the global market is Realme: it announced the amazing Realme GT Master Edition with customized design. Should you prefer the Honor 50 Pro or wait for the arrival of the Realme GT Master Edition? This comparison will hopefully give you an answer to this question.

Honor 50 Pro vs Realme GT Master Edition

Design

Both these phones hitten the market with an astonishing design. The Honor 50 Pro has an amazing glass back with a matte but brilliant finish made with a process similar to OPPO’s Reno Glow. It also sports a curved edge to edge display. The Realme GT Master Edition does not have a curved display but it comes with a customized design realized by the known Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. The design of the Realme GT Master Edition is made of eco leather (not in every color variant) and it reminds of a suitcase. The Realme GT Master Edition is also a more compact phone than Honor 50 Pro, so it is better for one-handed use.

Display

On the paper, the display of the Honor 50 Pro is superior to the one of its opponent. First of all, it is wider with a diagonal of 6.72 inches. Further, it is an OLED panel that is able to show up to one billion colors, while Realme GT Master Edition stops at 16 million colors. The handset also offers a high refresh rate of 120 Hz. The Realme GT Master Edition has an AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate as well, but the color reproduction is more realistic on the Honor 50 Pro. The phones come with an under-display fingerprint reader for authentication. Note that the Honor 50 Pro has a dual punch hole, while its rival has just a single hole in the display.

Specs & Software

We decided to compare the Honor 50 Pro to the Realme GT Master Edition because they are powered by the same chipset: the Snapdragon 778G by Qualcomm. Alongside the Snapdragon 780G (which is not in production anymore), the Snapdragon 778G is the most powerful Qualcomm’s midrange processor. If you want something better, you have to move to the Snapdragon 800 series including flagship SoCs. The Honor 50 Pro wins the hardware comparison because it offers more RAM in its best configuration: up to 12 GB. The phones run Android 11 with Realme UI and Magic UI to customize it, respectively.

Camera

The most advanced camera phone of this comparison is the Honor 50 Pro. First of all, it has a better main sensor for the rear camera, with a resolution of 108 MP and an f/1.9 focal aperture. Further, the Honor 50 Pro has a better front camera setup including a 32 MP main sensor and a 12 MP additional camera for ultrawide selfies. Not only it is a better front camera setup than Realme GT Master Edition, but it is one of the best selfie phones in the current market.

Battery

If you need more battery life, choose the Realme GT Master Edition because it features a bigger battery. With a capacity of 4300 mAh, you will get more juice to reach the end of the day without going out of charge. On the other hand, if you need the fastest charging technology, you should go for the Honor 50 Pro. With a power of 100W, it can fully charge its 4000 mAh battery in just 25 minutes.

Price

The Honor 50 Pro has a starting price of €590/$700 in the Asian market, while Realme GT Master Edition begins at just €320/$380. If we exclude the battery life, the Honor 50 Pro is a superior phone, but you can save a lot of money by choosing the Realme GT Master Edition without facing a lot of compromises.

The post Honor 50 Pro vs Realme GT Master Edition: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor is coming back to the global market with the Honor 50 series: a lineup of devices ranging from the budget segment to the upper-midange one which includes three variants. The Honor 50 Pro is the most advanced one but, despite it is a Pro variant, it is not a flagship. As mentioned above it is an upper-midrange phone with 5G support, and that is exactly the reason why we decided to compare it to the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G. While waiting for the global launch of the new premium phone, you can now discover the differences between Honor 50 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G.

Honor 50 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G

Design

The design is one of the strongest points of the Honor 50 Pro. It is a very elegant and original phone. It is pretty thin and lightweight, and it comes with a great curved display at the sides and two round camera modules, as well as an amazing finish for the rear cover. The Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G is one of the thinnest and most lightweight phones of 2021: it weighs less than 160 grams and it is just 6.8 mm thick! It is even more compact, but the Honor 50 Pro remains a more beautiful device due to its curved screen and great finish. The Honor 50 Pro wins the design comparison, but if you want a more compact device which fits better in a pocket, choose the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G.

Display

With Honor 50 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G, you can get two of the best displays you can find in the midrange segment. Both are able to show up to one billino colors, and currently it is almost impossible to find such a feature on midrange phones. Further, they are both OLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution. I personally prefer the Honor 50 Pro because it has a higher refresh rate (120 Hz) and an in-display fingerprint reader, as well as a wider diagonal. Unfortunately, despite having an OLED panel, Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Specs & Software

The Snapdragon 780G mobile platform found on the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G and the Snapdragon 778G found on the Honor 50 Pro are quite similar processors, but as you probably understood by reading the processor names, the Snapdragon 780G is slightly better. Further, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G has a faster UFS 2.2 internal storage. It runs MIUI 12 out of the box, while Honor 50 Pro runs Magic UI 4.2. In the global market, the Honor handset will come with Google Mobile Services since Honor is not a Huawei company anymore.

Camera

The rear camera of the Honor 50 Pro is way better than the one found of the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G because it has a superior main sensor: we are talking about a 108 MP camera which is able to record 4K videos at 30 fps. Even the front camera department is a lot better of the Honor 50 Pro as it is one of the best selfie phones out there. It has a dual front camera with a 32 MP main sensor and a 12 MP ultrawide lens.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G wins the battery life comparison simply because it has a bigger battery with a capacity of 4250 mAh. With the Honor mid-ranger you get a smaller unit despite the bigger dimensions, but it has one of the fastest charging technologies out there with a power of 100W (Mi 11 Lite has just 33W).

Price

You can currently find the Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G for less than €350/$413 globally, while we still do not know the global price of the Honor 50 Pro as it is yet to be launched (it costs about €350 in China). Overall, the latest Honor premium phone offers more value due to its better cameras, faster charging, and amazing design, but Xiaomi Mi 11 LIte 5G has a bigger battery, a more compact body… and a micro SD slot.

Honor is finally back and it is back with a premium smartphone series. The most advanced variant of the new lineup is the Honor 50 Pro, even though it does not have flagship-class specifications. It is a premium phone, but with a very interesting price tag. That is what led us to compare it with the vanilla OnePlus 9, a flagship killer with a very advantageous price (and even better street prices) offering everything a typical user would expect. Let’s discover together the differences between their specifications.

Honor 50 Pro vs OnePlus 9

Design

The most stunning design belongs to the Honor 50 Pro. Its matte and brilliant finish at the same time makes it unique, as well as its circular camera modules. It also comes with a curved edge-to-edge display making it even more elegant. The OnePlus 9 still remains a phone with a very interesting design which includes a glass back and a more compact body. With the OnePlus 9, you also get the IP68 certification making it waterproof and dustproof, but only in the variant sold by the T-Mobile carrier in the U.S.

Display

The Honor 50 Pro has a superior display to the OnePlus 9. Both the phones come with OLED panels, but the Honor 50 Pro is able to show up to one billion colors, while the OnePlus 9 is not. The handsets also have a refresh rate of 120 Hz and the Full HD+ resolution, as well as an in-display fingerprint reader. The Honor 50 Pro has a wider panel with a diagonal of 6.72 inches, so it is better for those who seek productivity and gamers. The OnePlus 9 is more compact with its 6.55-inch screen. Not everyone may like the dual punch hole of the Honor 50 Pro, but it is not a big compromise.

Specs & Software

The OnePlus 9 wins the hardware comparison first of all because it is powered by a stronger chipset. We are talking about the Snapdragon 888 mobile platform, which is Qualcomm’s best chipset seen on a phone as of now. The SoC is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Unfortunately, the Honor 50 Pro is fueled by a midrange-class mobile platform: the Snapdragon 778G paired with just 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage. The phones run Android 11 out of the box and the Honor 50 Pro is the first device after the separation from Huawei to include the Google Mobile Services for the global market.

Camera

Do you need the best rear camera? Then you should go for the OnePlus 9 without thinking twice. It has a triple camera setup composed of a 48 MP main sensor with omnidirectional autofocus (it supports 8K video recording), a great 50 MP ultrawide sensor, and a 2 MP monochromatic camera. Honor 50 Pro has a very nice 108 MP main camera, but it can not compete with the OnePlus 9. On the other hand, it offers a better front camera department which consists of a dual camera with 12 and 32 MP resolutions, including an ultrawide sensor.

Battery

Thanks to its bigger 4500 mAh battery, the OnePlus 9 is able to provide a longer battery life. It also comes with a smaller display and a chipset built with a better production process, so it consumes less energy. Last but not least, besides wired fast charging, it features wireless charging. The Honor 50 Pro has a way smaller battery and it is definitely not a battery phone due to just 4000 mAh. It lacks wireless charging, but it has a faster charging technology with a high power of 100W.

Price

Honor 50 Pro is priced at less than €595/$700 in Asia but it is still not available in the global market, so we do not know how much it will cost there. You can actually find the OnePlus 9 for less than €700/$825 globally. The OnePlus 9 wins the comparison due to a bigger battery, better chipset, and rear camera, but the Honor 50 Pro has a more beautiful design, a better display, faster charging, and better front cameras. We can not give a verdict regarding the value for money for global customers as we still do not know the global price of the Honor 50 Pro.

Honor recently launched the first phones after the separation from Huawei. The Honor 50 series is currently composed of three models: Honor 50, Honor 50 Pro, and Honor 50 SE. They are the first after the ban which will come in the global market with Google Mobile Services and Play Store out of the box since Honor is no longer under Huawei. Despite there is a Pro version in the trio, all of these devices are mid-rangers. That is why there is a lot of confusion around their specifications. This comparison between the new devices will hopefully make things clear.

Honor 50 vs Honor 50 SE vs Honor 50 Pro

Design

The Honor 50 Pro (on the left) is the handset with the highest screen-to-body ratio and the most beautiful one. It has an amazing finish for the rear side which you can rarely find on midrange phones. The pill-shaped dual punch hole is not the max in terms of beauty, but for the rest, the Pro variant is definitely more attractive. With the vanilla Honor 50, you can get a more compact design, as well as a thinner and lighter body. That is why it remains very interesting.

Display

The best displays belong to the vanilla Honor 50 and its Pro variant. We are talking about OLED panels which can show up to one billion colors with a 120 Hz refresh rate and a Full HD+ resolution. The only important difference between these two panels is the diagonal: the vanilla version is 6.57 inches, while the Pro version is 6.72 inches. The Honor 50 SE has an even wider 6.78-inch display, but it is an IPS panel that is way inferior compared to its two internal rivals.

Hardware/Software

The Honor 50 and the Honor 50 Pro come with the same hardware department including a Snapdragon 778G mobile platform, up to 256 GB of internal storage, and up to 8 GB of RAM. It is an upper-midrange hardware department which is great for every scenario, but it is still far from flagships. Honor 50 SE is an upper-midrange phone too, but its Dimensity 900 chipset is slightly inferior to the Snapdragon 778G. The memory configurations are the same. The phones run Android 11 customized by Magic UI with Google Mobile Services out of the box for the global market.

Camera

Honor 50, 50 Pro, and 50 SE all come with a 108 MP main camera paired with an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP macro camera. With the Honor 50 and 50 Pro, you also get an additional 2 MP depth sensor which is not present on the SE variant. They are midrange camera phones. The Honor 50 Pro has a better front camera department including a 32 MP main camera and an ultrawide sensor with a 12 MP resolution: the front department is the reason why it wins the camera comparison.

Battery

With the vanilla Honor 50, you can get a bigger battery with a 4300 mAh capacity and a longer battery life, while Honor 50 Pro supports faster charging with a power of 100W.

Honor 50 vs Honor 50 SE vs Honor 50 Pro: Price

For now, the Honor 50 series is only available in Asia. The vanilla version starts at about $555/€470, Honor 50 SE begins at $369/€310, and Honor 50 Pro costs $689/€580 in its base variant. There are only marginal differences between Honor 50 and 50 Pro: despite the latter has faster charging and better front cameras, I would go for the vanilla version due to its bigger battery. Which one would you pick?

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.

The post Honor 50 series models were assembled by BYD Electronics appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor today (June 16) held a launch conference where it unveiled a number of products which include the Honor 50, Honor 50 Pro, Honor 50 SE, and the Honor Earbuds 2 SE. No doubt, the Honor 50 and 50 Pro are the star products among the lot. Apart from packing premium designs, the two models are designed specifically for high performance.

The Honor 50 features a 6.57-inch OLED curved screen that supports a 120Hz screen refresh rate and 300Hz touch sampling rate. The display utilizes a single punch-hole design located centrally at the top of the screen. On the other hand, the Honor 50 Pro sports a 6.72-inch display but it has a dual punch-hole design on the top left corner of the screen. Other aspects are the same as the Honor 50.

The back design of the Honor 50 series is inspired by Rollei’s double-reflex cameras. The lens module adopts a dual-lens layout and uses a Cartier-like ring design around the main lens. In terms of performance, the camera focuses on one-stop Vlog video shooting, and the mobile phone supports six multi-lens video shooting modes including “fast-slow motion resuming” and “single and double lens resuming”.

The Honor 50 Pro dual front camera setup consists of a 12-megapixel video lens and a 32-megapixel selfie lens. The selfie camera setup supports 100° ultra-wide-angle video shooting and Selfie super night scene functions. The Honor 50 features a 32-megapixel selfie lens. At the rear aspect, both models pack a similar camera configuration.

Honor is all set to announce the Honor 50 series of smartphones in China on June 16. Reports have revealed that the series will offer three devices such as the Honor 50 SE, Honor 50, and Honor 50 Pro. GSMArena has shared high-resolution renders of the Honor 50 and Honor 50 Pro to showcase the rear appearance of both smartphones.

The Honor 50 has a gradient blue-colored back features a 50-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture. The black model that has a 108-megapixel camera is the Honor 50 Pro with an f/1.8 aperture.

Both phones have two cameras in the second ring. Unfortunately, there is no word on their configurations. In the previous month, live images of an alleged Honor 50 series phone had appeared online. It featured the main camera in the first ring and its second ring had a periscope zoom lens along with another camera. There is a possibility that those images could be fake, or they may belong to the Honor 50 Pro+ handset.

The publication claims that the Honor 50 lineup will focus on vlogging. Hence, it is expected to offer top-notch videography features. As far as specs are concerned, the rumor mill is yet to share any information about the Honor 50 series.

Probably, the Honor 50 will debut as the world’s first phone powered by the Snapdragon 778G mobile platform. Recently, two Honor phones with model numbers NTH-AN00, JLH-AN00, and RNA-AN00/RNA-TN00 were recently seen at the 3C certification site of China. The RNA model was seen with a 100W charger, whereas the other two models were spotted with a 66W charger. These handsets may belong to the Honor 50 series.

The Honor 50 series will launch on June 16 in China. Prior to this announcement, we have heard that there will be two devices – the Honor 50 and the Honor 50 Pro. It turns out there is a third model called the Honor 50 SE.

Unfortunately, the specs of the device are not known nor do we have an idea of what it will look like. However, the Honor 50 SE should be a sort of Lite model priced under the Honor 50.

The Honor 50 Pro will come with a Snapdragon 778G processor while the Honor 50 is expected to come with a Dimensity 1200 processor. There is a possibility that the SE model will have a MediaTek chipset too. All three phones should run Magic UI 5.0 based on Android 11 out of the box.

The post Honor 50 series will include a third device called the Honor 50 SE appeared first on Gizmochina.

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.

A few weeks ago, an Honor phone with the model number “RNA-AN00” was certified by the agency in charge of issuing the China Compulsory Certificate. The certification page revealed that the device supports 100W fast charging. Now, an image of an Honor-branded charger with an output of 100W has surfaced on the web.

The image was posted on Weibo by the Chinese leaker, Digital Chat Station, and it shows the power adapter will come in white and have a full-sized USB port instead of a USB-C port as we have seen with a lot of high output chargers. Even the Baseus 100W GaN charger has a USB-C port. Nevertheless, the 100W Honor SuperCharge power adapter is portable and fits in the palm.

There are speculations that the charger is for the Honor RNA-AN00 which is believed to be the Honor 50 Pro. Since the device will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 778G processor, there is a chance that Honor is also making use of Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 5 technology.

Regardless of if this charger is bundled with the Honor 50 Pro, we can be sure that it will ship with an Honor phone in the near future, probably the Honor Magic 3 or the foldable Honor Magic planned for later this year.

The Honor 50 series is highly anticipated especially for international fans of the Honor brand.

Now, it has also confirmed that the phones will have Google Mobile Services.

This is definitely good news for Honor fans across the globe. Also, considering the original tweet was about the Honor 50 series, it is safe to say that the phones will be announced in Germany.

Ja, das können wir bestätigen. Aber pssst, soll noch eine Überraschung werden

Last year, Huawei sold Honor to Zhixin New Information Technology Co. Ltd, a consortium formed by agents and dealers of the Honor brand and Shenzhen Smart City Development Group Co. Ltd. Following the transfer of the brand to new owners, Honor has been in talks with American companies it was previously banned from conducting business with when it was still owned by Huawei. Some of those companies include Qualcomm and Google – the former for its chipset, and the latter for its mobile services for devices sold outside China.

With the recent announcements, we now know the talks went well and Honor can now do business with these companies and others that it was previously barred from by the U.S. government.

The Honor 50 series is yet to get a launch date but we are sure the launch will happen soon, rather than later.

The HONOR 50 series is in the news for quite a while now. Ahead of the lineup’s launch, its features have started to emerge on the internet via leaks and certifications. But we are yet to learn more about these smartphones. That said, earlier today, a reliable tipster revealed one of the chipsets powering the HONOR 50 series.

The HONOR 50 series is rumored to include three devices, namely HONOR 50, HONOR 50 Pro, and HONOR 50 Pro+. But some reports say there will not be a Pro+ model. However, the entire specs of this handset have already been exposed by Master Lu, a popular Chinese benchmark platform.

Anyway, talking about the new leak by Digital Chat Station, one of the smartphones in the HONOR 50 series will be powered by an unreleased Qualcomm Snapdragon SM7325 platform. As per him, the chipset will debut first on this lineup. Unfortunately, he did not specifically mention the model that will be housing this SoC.

For those unaware, this is not the first time we are hearing about SM7325. According to Roland Quandt (popular leaker), this SoC will be a toned-down version of the upcoming Qualcomm Snapdragon 775G. 

As per the leakster, this SoC will include a tri-cluster octa-core CPU consisting of a prime core, three performance cores, and four power-efficiency cores clocked at 2.7GHz, 2.4GHz, and 1.8GHz respectively.  This chipset will support up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM but Qualcomm already has test platforms with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.

According to previous reports, two of the HONOR 50 series handsets will bear the model numbers NTH-AN00 and NRA-AN00 respectively. The former will support 66W fast charging, whereas the latter will have 100W fast charging support. 

Lastly, the vanilla HONOR 50 is said to feature a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. On the other hand, the HONOR 50 Pro is tipped to house a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC. But going by the leak, both may come with Qualcomm chipset.

The HONOR 50 series is expected to launch soon. Ahead of its release, the features of these phones have begun to pop on the internet. Their design as well as some specs leaked in the past few days. Now, these handsets have started receiving essential certifications as well.

According to popular leakster Digital Chat Station, two HONOR 5G smartphones have been certified by China’s 3C. As per the listings, these phones bear the model numbers NTH-AN00 and NRA-AN00 respectively.

Interestingly, the tipster does not call these devices the HONOR 50 series. But for some reason, other publications believe them to be HONOR 50 and HONOR 50 Pro respectively.

Anyway, the listings say that NTH-AN00 (possible HONOR 50) will ship with an HW-110600C00 66W charger. This is the same power adapter that comes bundled with the HONOR V40 series. In other words, the HONOR 50 will support 66W fast charging.

On the other hand, NRA-AN00 (possible HONOR 50 Pro) will come with an all-new HN-200500C00 100W charger. Hence, the HONOR 50 Pro could be the first smartphone from the brand to support 100W fast charging. 

As per another tipster, the 100W charging on the HONOR 50 Pro could be based on Qualcomm Quick Charge 5. However, there’s no concrete proof for this claim.

That said, according to previous reports, the HONOR 50 series will sport two circular modules for rear cameras. The vanilla HONOR 50 is expected to feature a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC, whereas the HONOR 50 Pro is said to powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC.

Last but not least, some alleged specs of mysterious HONOR 50 Pro+ have leaked too.

The HONOR 50 series in the news for quite a while now. This new smartphone lineup from the former HUAWEI sub-brand is said to feature a new design. This design even got leaked in April. Now, weeks later, yet another render of the HONOR 50 series appears with more details.

A report from April exposed the design of the upcoming HONOR 50 series. The lineup is expected to include two giant circular modules for its rear cameras. This camera layout will be similar to the one present on the HONOR V40 series and the HUAWEI nova 8 series.

Now, a new render shared by ZEALER on Weibo sheds more light on the design of the HONOR 50 series. The lineup is said to include three handsets, namely HONOR 50, HONOR 50 Pro, and HONOR 50 Pro+. But unfortunately, the exact phone in the render is a mystery.

Anyway, as per the render, this device will feature three cameras. The large primary sensor will be housed inside the top circle, whereas a secondary periscope zoom camera and a tertiary sensor will be nested inside the bottom circle.

Lastly, according to the Weibo account that posted this render, this color variant of the phone will be called ‘Jifeng Blue’ (translated).

As per previous reports, the vanilla HONOR 50 will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. On the other hand, the HONOR 50 Pro will feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset. Additionally, alleged specs of HONOR 50 Pro+ leaked late last month.

The leaked specifications of the HONOR 50 Pro+ suggest a quad-camera setup. Hence, the handset in this new render could be either the HONOR 50 or the HONOR 50 Pro.

Last but not least, there’s no concrete launch timeline for the HONOR 50 series yet.

We reported earlier this week that Honor will announce the Honor 50 series in May. A new leak has now released more details of the Honor 50 and a higher-end model that will launch as the Honor 50 Pro.

The Honor 50 will arrive next month but a tweet by Teme (特米) (@RODENT950) says that the Honor 50 Pro will follow in July. We are not sure if these are the only two models Honor has planned or if there will be more. The tweet also revealed the chipset that will power the two phones.

The Honor 50 will have MediaTek’s Dimensity 1200 processor inside it. We have seen a couple of big brands announce phones/plan to announce phones with this chipset. The Realme GT Neo is already available for purchase, Redmi’s gaming phone will be powered by it, and a leak has revealed that the OPPO Reno6 5G will also have a Dimensity 1200 processor.

For the Honor 50 Pro, Teme says the phone will have a Snapdragon chipset but didn’t say which one. Will it be a Snapdragon 700 series chipset or a Snapdragon 800 series chipset? Time will tell.

There is no news yet on a planned global release and if it will have Google Mobile Services if it does launch outside China.
