The holiday season is upon us, and Amazon UK is offering some amazing discounts on a wide range of products.

Whether you’re shopping for gifts for loved ones or treating yourself, now is the perfect time to take advantage of these fantastic savings.

Honor 70

With the Honor 80 series absent from the UK market, the Honor 70 is the best mid-range offering from the brand in the UK. It has a 6.7″ FHD+ OLED display (120Hz, HDR10+) and a Snapdragon 778G+. The camera setup is especially impressive, with a 54MP primary camera along with a 50MP 122° camera. The front camera produces crisp shots with its 32MP sensor, and the device can easily last throughout the day with its 4,800mAh battery.

The Honor 70 is currently available for £380 on Amazon UK, which is a £100 discount over its usual price.

Honor Magic4 Pro

The Magic4 Pro is Honor’s current flagship smartphone in the UK. It features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and a 6.81-inch, 1312 x 2848p LTPO 2.0 OLED panel with a maximum 120Hz refresh rate. It has a flagship-grade camera system with a 50MP primary lens, a 50MP ultrawide lens, a 64MP Periscope Telephoto Camera WITH 3.5X Optical zoom, and EIS+OIS stabilization. The front of the device uses a 12MP wide camera along with a 3D depth camera, enabling facial recognition features. There is also a self-developed Honor Image Engine chip packed inside this device for a better imaging experience. Other highlights include a 4,600mAh battery that supports 100W fast charging and IP68 water and dust proofing.

The Honor Magic4 Pro is available for £700 on Amazon UK, which is £170 less than its usual price.

Honor Pad 8

If you are in the market for an affordable tablet, Honor provides a decent option with the Honor Pad 8. This 12-inch slate has a 2,000 x 1,200-pixel IPS LCD panel and a Snapdragon 680 chipset under the hood. It is certified with Widevine L1, meaning that Netflix and YouTube can play at 1080p.

Huawei’s offshoot Honor has shared details of the research and development process of the Magic4 Pro. The Honor Magic4 Pro is Honor’s latest flagship offering that is now available globally. Honor provided details of its R&D process to coincide with its global release.

Honor shared details about its new Manufacturing Industrial Park while homing on the company’s R&D department’s efforts. As per the details, Honor said that more than 200 reliability tests were carried out. These tests included button durability tests, drop tests, and extreme weather simulations. The plant is highly automated, thereby substantially minimizing human errors. The alert accuracy ratings of most of the processes are about 95%, which is very robust.

The Honor Magic4 Pro has a dual-sound emitting unit that delivered great results during sound tests. At the heart of the unit is a piezoelectric ceramics core that enables directional sound on display. The Magic4 Pro also features the implementation of Fusional Computational Photography, using the multi-camera fusion. The camera fusion test across the full focal range was done also at Honor’s Park.

The Honor Magic4 Pro seems to have gone through a rigorous process throughout its development trajectory. The Honor Magic4 Pro is priced at £949 ($1,197) in the United Kingdom. Availability in other markets will follow subsequently.

The post Honor details the rigorous Magic4 Pro Research & Development process appeared first on Gizmochina.

For reasons known to all, HUAWEI is having a hard time manufacturing and marketing its flagship phones. As a result, HONOR broke away from HUAWEI and became an independent brand. This Magic4 Pro is also the first HONOR phone we have reviewed since HONOR became independent. How far can the reborn HONOR Magic4 Pro go, let’s take a look.

The design of Magic4 Pro is familiar to us. As with its predecessor, the camera module is centered in a circle, a design HONOR calls “Eye of Muse”. This symmetrical design is very different from other phones, so you can tell at a glance that you are using a HONOR flagship and not another brand of phone. The Magic 4 Pro we got is cyan, and the glass back panel looks great in the light, just like ceramic. Of course, to keep it beautiful, you have to wipe it very often. The top and bottom bezels are flat, the SIM card slot is at the bottom and supports 2 SIM cards. There is IR emitter, NFC, stereo speakers, ultrasonic fingerprint recognition, IP68, but no headphone jack. However, the Google Mobile Services you care about is available on this HONOR device. It has all the features it should have, and the design is very special, I think Magic4 Pro is doing what a flagship phone should do.

HONOR Magic4 Pro Review: Display

Magic4 Pro uses a 6.8-inch Quad-Curved Display. Although the resolution does not reach WQHD+, it is sharper than the FHD+ of other phones. While it is not a screen supplied by Samsung, its performance is comparable to Samsung’s panel. Some aspects are even better than what Samsung has done. You may not have noticed that very few phones that support LTPO 2.0 this year have the option of DC dimming. Most phones with low-frequency PWM dimming at low brightness will make people with sensitive eyes feel uncomfortable. But Magic4 Pro‘s screen supports 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which will not make the display worse like DC dimming, but also more eye protection than low-frequency PWM dimming. The side view color cast is also better controlled than the E5 screen with Micro-Lens technology, and the Magic4 Pro has a MEMC chip that can interpolate frames for video, but not for gaming. If I had to pick a downside, I’d like to see the Magic4 Pro with a smaller curved screen, because the larger the curved area, the more serious the problem of black and green edges will be.

HONOR Magic4 Pro Review: Performance & Gaming

Maybe the product is planned earlier, Magic4 Pro’s processor is Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. Because they were all using Kirin processors before, how good is HONOR’s tuning of Snapdragon’s flagship processor, let’s take a look. From the results of each benchmark, they are at least doing the same level as the 8 Gen 1 of other brands, no one data is particularly low.

What about gaming, PUBG is a piece of cake for flagship phones, Genshin’s performance is interesting. Looking at this frame rate curve, the first half of the game is very good, almost perfect. But the second half of the game is locked at 30fps most of the time, and the lowest frame rate is 15fps, which means HONOR is capable of playing to the full strength of 8 Gen 1, but there is still room for improvement. Hopefully, the performance and temperature will be balanced in subsequent updates.

HONOR Magic4 Pro Review: Camera

When we see the huge camera module, we know that the Magic4 Pro’s forte is taking pictures. Indeed, it has a luxurious camera setup. But two of the five lenses are secondary lenses, and only one main camera, the ultra-wide camera and the 3.5x telephoto camera, it can really take pictures on its own.

What impresses me most about the Magic4 Pro’s camera is its powerful image algorithm. The scene you see in the preview screen may not be pretty enough, but once you press the shutter and then quickly go to the album, you can see the magic happen. A bland photo is transformed into a stunning photo. I finally understand why the Magic4 Pro got that name. Whether it’s the ultra-wide-angle camera or the main camera, this magical algorithm gives the photo a huge improvement. This amazing algorithm will also appear on telephoto cameras. This 3.5x telephoto camera is surprisingly powerful. Even if you zoom in to 5 times or 10 times, you can still get a good picture through the algorithm.
Even at 16x zoom, you will still be able to recognize the phone number written on the elevator. You can also get good pictures even at night when the light is low. Well, this algorithm for optimizing photos only works well for more regular graphics, if there is not enough light plus the subject is irregular, then the algorithm will not work as well. The main camera is without OIS, and you may wonder how badly it will perform at night. In fact, it performed well at night, with almost no problems with shaky hands. Overall, I am very satisfied with the Magic4 Pro’s camera performance, especially its 3.5x telephoto camera, which is comparable to a 5x or 10x optical telephoto camera through its algorithm. I think this is the most correct direction for mobile photography.

1 of 27

The recording has also improved a lot with support for switching lenses in 4k 30fps recording. Stability and dynamic range are good. But what surprised me more is the front camera, because it uses an ultra-wide-angle lens, so you are able to take selfies with different focal lengths. And because of the 3D TOF lens, the background bokeh effect is good. This super wide-angle camera is more suitable for video recording, and supports EIS and 4k 30fps with excellent dynamic range. I’m sure magic4 pro is definitely an excellent vlog machine.

HONOR Magic4 Pro Review: Charging

Magic4 Pro supports 100w wired charging. The charger also supports up to 100w output power. It also supports 50w wireless charging. Wired charging takes 15 minutes to charge up to 60% and takes 30 minutes to fill. The Magic4 Pro’s battery capacity is 4600mAh, which is not huge, but it is enough. Although it is a little difficult to go a full day without charging, other 8 Gen 1 phones are at about the same level, so don’t expect the Magic4 Pro’s battery life to be as impressive.

To sum up, Magic4 Pro is actually not HONOR’s powerful flagship phone this year, it’s just a sub-flagship. But this sub-flagship phone does what many flagship phones can do. For example, the superb level of photography, the screen also has some bright spots.

And there are no obvious drawbacks, and GMS can be used normally. If you don’t want to buy an expensive flagship phone, then this cheaper HONOR sub-flagship phone might be more suitable for those of you who like to take pictures.

For those unaware, the Chinese smartphone maker was originally planning on releasing the handset on 2nd April 2022. But following the delay, the Magic4 Pro will now be available for purchase on April 2 in the brand’s home market of China. While the finer details regarding the delay is unknown, the company said that the impacts of the global pandemic on the supply chain is the primary reason for the launch being postponed.

For the customers that booked the device offline, the stores should contact them soon.

After leaving Huawei alone, Honor is finally back in the European market with a new flagship series. The Honor Magic 4 lineup is composed of two handsets including a top-tier flagship with no compromises and a more affordable one but with the same hardware department. We are talking about the vanilla version and the Honor Magic4 Pro: two phones which have nothing to envy to the most expensive devices on the shelves. Is really Honor back to the market with two perfect phones? While waiting for testing them, this comparison between their specifications will tell you the differences between the Honor Magic 4 and the Pro variant.

Honor Magic4 Pro vs Honor Magic4

Design

The Honor Magic4 and the Honor Magic4 Pro have exactly the same design. It includes a curved screen on the front side, as well as a glass back with a huge circular camera module just like the latest Huawei Mate Series phones, and very narrow bezels around the displays. There is only one difference when it comes to aesthetics: the punch hole. While the vanilla version has a single punch hole placed in the middle, the Pro variant has a dual punch hole on the upper left corner of the screen because there is an additional sensor for 3D facial recognition. Another important difference that does not regard the design is the IP68 certification making the Pro variant waterproof and dustproof, while the original Honor Magic4 has the IP54 certification for dust resistance and splash resistance.

Display

The Honor Magic4 and the Pro variant have very similar displays, but not exactly the same. The difference lies in the number of pixels of the panels: the Pro version has a resolution of 1312 x 2848 pixels, while the vanilla version has a resolution of 1224 x 2664 pixels. We already mentioned the only other difference between these panels: the punch hole. For the rest, they come with the same specifications: they are OLED panels with a diagonal of 6.81 inches, one billion colors, the LTPO technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, the HDR10+ certification, an in-display fingerprint reader, and a peak brightness up to 1000 nits.

Specs & Software

Even the hardware department of these two devices is the same. They are powered by the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform built at 4 nm and running at a max frequency of 3 GHz: it is the best processor you can currently get in the Android world. The chip is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage in the base variant and 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal storage in the most expensive variant. The performance is very high and they are among the fastest and smoothest phones you can currently purchase. They also run Android 12 out of the box, customized by Magic UI 6 and including Google Mobile Services in the global market.

Camera

The most important difference between the Honor Magic 4 and the Honor Magic4 Pro is the camera setup. Both the phones come with a pair of 50 MP cameras including the main sensor and an ultrawide lens. The vanilla version has an 8 MP periscope sensor with 5x optical zoom, while the Pro comes with an amazing 64 MP periscope sensor with 3.5x optical zoom, definitely better than the sensor found on the vanilla version. Further, the Pro variant adds a TOF 3D camera for depth calculation. Note that the Pro version also comes with a hardware sensor for 3D facial recognition, while the vanilla version does not.

Battery

Despite being more affordable, the Honor Magic4 comes with a bigger battery and it will provide a longer battery life. On the other hand, you can get a faster charging technology with the Pro, thanks to a power of 120W. Further, it provides fast wireless charging with a power of 100W, while the vanilla version does not support wireless charging at all.

Price

You have to spend €900/$985 if you want the Honor Magic4, while the Pro variant costs €1100/$1205. The two handsets differ for the IP certification, the display resolution, the cameras, and the charging technologies. Which one would you pick?

The Chinese giant recently launched the Honor Magic4 and the Honor Magic4 Pro with the latter representing its most advanced flagship to date. But after its comeback, Honor has to face a lot of more Chinese rivals in the old continent. Currently, the best Chinese flagship sold in the European market is the OPPO Find X5 Pro which retails for a very high price. But the Honor Magic4 Pro carries a high price tag as well. So which one is the best Chinese handset out there? You can discover it through this comparison between the specifications of the Honor Magic4 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro.

Honor Magic4 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 Pro

Design

There is not any doubt about the fact that OPPO Find X5 Pro has a better design. It is not only more attractive than Honor Magic4 Pro, but it is definitely one of the most beautiful Android phones in the whole market. It is the only Android flagship released in 2022 with a body made of ceramic, it has a very futuristic design and it comes with a front glass protected by Gorilla Glass Victus. There is also a version made of leather, but it is exclusive for the Chinese market. Last but not least, despite packing a bigger battery, it is a thinner phone. Both the phones are waterproof with the IP68 certification.

Display

The OPPO Find X5 Pro looks to have a better display. It is an AMOLED panel with one billion colors, a diagonal of 6.7 inches, a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3216 pixels, an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz, and the HDR10+ certification. But the Honor Magic4 Pro still provides an amazing screen with the OLED and LTPO technologies, HDR10+, one billion colors, and a wider 6.81-inch diagonal. With the OPPO Find X5 Pro, you should get higher color accuracy and even higher brightness.

Specs & Software

Honor Magic4 Pro and the OPPO Find X5 Pro are powered by the same flagship processor: the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 running at a max frequency of 3 GHz, paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. Given that there are no important differences in the hardware department, the software will play the most important role in terms of performance. Note that the ColorOS 12 is actually a more advanced user interface than Magic UI 6.0, at least in the global market. So you should get something more with the OPPO flagship.

Camera

On the paper, the Honor Magic4 Pro has superior camera hardware. It comes with a pair of 50 MP cameras including an ultrawide one, as well as a 64 MP periscope camera with 3.5x optical zoom and an additional TOF 3D sensor for depth calculation. The OPPO Find X5 Pro has a pair of 50 MP cameras and a 13 MP telephoto sensor, but the photo quality might still be superior in a lot of scenarios thanks to the dedicated MariSilicon X NPU and the advanced proprietary algorithm for the cameras. The Honor Magic4 Pro is more interesting even when it comes to the front camera: it packs a 12 MP selfie snapper with 100° FOV and 4K video recording, as well as an additional TOF sensor for 3D facial recognition.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro packs a bigger 5000 mAh battery and it will guarantee a longer battery life on a single charge. The Honor Magic4 Pro comes with a smaller 4600 mAh but it supports faster 100W wired charging and faster 100W wireless charging.

Price

OPPO Find X5 Pro carries a price of €1300/$1420 in the European market, while Honor Magic 4 Pro starts from €1100/$1200. The Find X5 Pro wins the comparison due to its amazing built quality, bigger battery, better display, but you should not underestimate the camera performance of the Honor flagship.

The post Honor Magic4 Pro vs OPPO Find X5 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Last week, GSMA hosted the MWC (Mobile World Congress) 2022 in Barcelona, Spain. However, unlike previous years, there weren’t many big launches. That’s because companies now prefer to announce their important devices at their own annual conferences.

Anyway, there were some 5 smartphones that caught our attention. We have compiled them in this article. Three of them are from separate brands, while two of them are from the same brand. These OEMs are HONOR, OPPO, realme, and POCO. 

With that being said, let us take a look at these phones one by one.

Best Smartphones at MWC 2022

HONOR Magic4 Pro

Our pick for the star of Mobile World Congress 2022 is none other than HONOR Magic4 Pro. The latest flagship smartphone from HONOR offers almost all the high-end features one can expect.

The device sports a glass sandwich housing with a metal frame. It flaunts a 6.81-inch 10-bit curved OLED LTPO display with a resolution of 1312×2848 pixels, up to 120Hz refresh rate, and a pill-shaped cutout for the front-facing cameras. The panel is not only HDR10+ certified but also IMAX Enhanced.

The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It also comes with an independent security chip and an independent display chip for always-on HDR as well as MEMC.

Though the handset houses a large circular module on the rear, there are only three cameras – 50MP wide lens, 50MP ultra-wide lens, and 64MP 3.5x telephoto lens. The remaining two holes are for a flicker sensor and an 8×8 dTOF laser focusing system. On the front, it has a 12MP shooter and a 3D depth sensor.

Other features of the HONOR Magic4 Pro include IP68 certification for dust and water resistance, dual stereo speakers, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, Magic UI 6 based on Android 12, 4,500mAh battery, 100W fast wired charging, 100W fast wireless charging, and 5W wireless reverse charging.

The device is offered in four colors (cyan, gold, black, orange) and starts at €1099 outside mainland China. Its availability will be revealed closer to the release.

OPPO Find X5 Pro

Unlike the HONOR Magic4 Pro, the OPPO Find X5 Pro was not announced at MWC 2022.  The company unveiled it a few days ago but showcased it at the GSMA-hosted conference.

The successor of OPPO Find X3 Pro retains the design language from its predecessor with some tweaks. The Glaze Black version sports a glass back, while the Ceramic White variant flaunts a ceramic rear panel. Both have a metal frame.

The phone sports a 6.7-inch 10-bit LTPO 2.0 curved AMOLED display with a resolution of 3216 × 1440 pixels, up to 120Hz refresh rate, up to 240Hz touch sampling rate, and 525 PPI. It has a punch-hole at the top left corner and Corning Gorilla Glass protection.

The handset is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. There’s also a self-developed MariSilicon X chipset for image processing. As for software, it boots ColorOS 12.1 based on Android 12.

It arrives with a triple rear camera system powered by Hasselblad. The setup includes a 50MP primary sensor with 5-axis OIS, a 50MP ultra-wide unit,  and a 13MP 2x telephoto snapper. On the front, it has a 32MP shooter for selfies and video calls.

Other features include dual stereo speakers, in-screen fingerprint sensor, 5,000mAh battery, 80W fast wired charging, 50W fast wireless charging, and 10W reverse wireless charging.

The OPPO Find X5 Pro is priced at €1,300 for a sole 12GB+256GB memory configuration in Europe. It will go on sale on March 14

realme GT 2 Pro

The realme GT 2 Pro is the only old handset is the list. It made its debut in China in January. However, it was announced for Europe at MWC 2022. The device is the first proper flagship smartphone from realme.

The phone’s back is made of biopolymer to offer a paper-like touch and feel. Whereas, its frame is made of metal. Despite featuring a different body material, it is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC as other premium Android smartphones.

The chipset is coupled with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. As far as software is concerned, the handset ships with realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12.

One of the interesting features of the phone is its 6.7-inch display. This 10-bit flat LTPO 2.0 AMOLED panel has a resolution of 3216 x 1440 pixels and up to 120Hz refresh rate, 1000Hz touch sampling rate as well as 1,,400 nits peak brightness. Protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus, it has a punch-hole at the top left corner and a fingerprint sensor with support for heart rate monitoring underneath it.

Apart from a great display, the handset also comes with an equally impressive 50MP (Sony IMX766 with OIS) + 50MP (150° ultra-wide) + microscope lens triple camera system on the rear and a 32MP Sony IMX615 front-facing camera. Other features include dual stereo speakers, a 5,000mAh battery, and 65W fast wired charging.

The realme GT2 Pro is priced at €749 and €849 for 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB memory variants respectively in Europe. It is already up for sale in select regions.

POCO X4 Pro 5G

The next device is our list is POCO X4 Pro 5G, which is a budget offering. Despite being a rebranded Redmi Note 10 Pro 5G, we considered it to be one of the best smartphones at MWC 2022. Because it only looks unique (subjective) but also costs only €269 and €319 for 6GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB versions respectively (early bird pricing).

Talking about highlights, it flaunts a glass sandwich design (flat plastic frame) and is built around a 6.67-centered punch-hole FHD+ (2400 x 1080 pixels) AMOLED display with up to 120Hz refresh rate, 395 PPI, and 1,200 nits peak brightness. It is run by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC paired with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

For photography and videography, there’s a 108MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple rear camera system and a 16MP front-facing camera. Other features include dual stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a hybrid MicroSD card slot, an IR blaster, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and an IP53 rating.

Last but not least, it boots MIUI 13 for POCO based on Android 11 and gets its juice from a 5,000mAh battery, which has support for 67W fast charging.

POCO M4 Pro

The final phone is our list is POCO M4 Pro. It is even more affordable (early bird pricing) than the POCO X4 Pro 5G as it is priced at only €199 (6GB + 128GB) and €249 (8GB + 128GB). It is a rebadged variant of the Redmi Note 11S, which we consider better than the Redmi Note 11 Pro in terms of value.

The handset’s body is entirely made of plastic but still sports a 6.43-inch centered punch-hole AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), 409 PPI, up to 90Hz refresh rate, and 1,000 nits peak brightness level. It is powered by MediaTek Helio G96 SoC coupled with LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 2.2 storage.

It arrives with a 64MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide) + 2MP (macro) triple rear camera setup and a 16MP front-facing camera. It runs MIUI 13 based on Android 11 and is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging.

Other features include an IP53 rating, dual stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a dedicated MicroSD card slot, and an IR blaster.

The company is yet to officially reveal the devices that will be announced at this conference. However, rumors say that the firm will debut the HONOR Magic4 series. Ahead of that, alleged spec sheets of this upcoming lineup of premium smartphones have emerged.

Tipster @RODENT950 has shared three images on Twitter containing the primary specifications of the forthcoming HONOR Magic4, HONOR Magic4 Pro, and HONOR Magic4 Pro+. Though the specs listed in the pictures appear to be true, he asks the public to consider them with a pinch of salt.

According to the images, all three phones will have a metal frame design. However, the Pro+ will feature a ceramic back instead of glass as well as leather finishes on vanilla and Pro.

They will boot Magic UI 6.0 based on Android 12 and get their energy from a 4,800mAh battery. The vanilla and Pro will be limited to 66W wired fast charging, while the Pro+ will max at 100W. Additionally, the two Pro models will also have support for 50W fast wireless charging.

Similarly, the Pro and vanilla have regular dual stereo speakers, while the Pro+ will flaunt symmetrical dual stereo speakers

Though all of them will have an in-screen fingerprint sensor, the Pro+ will use an ultrasonic solution rather than optical like the cheaper models.

Talking about chipsets, the HONOR Magic4 will come equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC and a hexagonal graphene sheet to control thermals. On the other hand, the HONOR Magic4 Pro and the HONOR Magic4 Pro+ will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen1 chip paired with a hexagonal graphene sheet as well as an ultra-thin VC liquid cooling system.

All of them will flaunt OLED displays from BOE with a diamond-like pixel arrangement but they will differ in size and features. Anyway, they do have certain aspects in common like 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth, 1.07 billion colors, HDR10+ certification, and DCI-P3 color gamut support.

The vanilla model will sport a 6.55-inch panel with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels, a 300Hz touch sampling rate, micro curves on two sides, and a single centered punch hole. Whereas, the screens on Pro and Pro+ versions will have a 360Hz touch sampling rate, micro curves on four sides, and dual centered punch holes. The display on the Pro will measure 6.67 inches with a resolution of 2772 x 1344 pixels as opposed to a 6.78-inch panel with a resolution of 3200 x 1440 pixels on the Pro+.

Talking about cameras, the trio will arrive with a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide unit with support for macro. The vanilla variant will have a 16MP telephoto snapper with up to 10x digital zoom support and a 16MP selfie shooter.

In contrast, the Pro models sport an OIS-equipped 50MP telescope camera with 100x digital zoom support, a 50MP monochrome camera, 8×8 dToF laser focusing system, and a dual 13MP + 3D depth-sensing selfie camera.
