The Honor Watch GS 3 was officially unveiled back on August 12, 2021 along with a bunch of official images and nearly its entire feature list. However, it is only now that the watch appears to be closer than ever to launch, thanks to the appearance of a couple of its real-life images for the very first time.

IT Home reports that public testing of the watch began on December 24th itself and that it is beginning to make its way to offline stores in China.

The leaked real-life images show the watch in a sleek all-black color, looking identical to its official promo photos from August. The strap appears to be made of rubber while the body looks to be of metal. The tipster who leaked the images has further revealed that the watch lacks wireless charging but also carries a very ‘cost-effective’ price.

Other known information about the Honor Watch GS 3 is that it is the company’s very first smartwatch to be equipped with an 8-channel heart rate AI engine. The tech allows for greater accuracy in dynamic heart rate monitoring and reduces the risk of heart rhythm signal instability.

The Honor Watch GS 3 itself has a round dial attached to a metal case. It has two physical buttons and uses quick-release straps. It will be available in three color and design variants – there is Voyager which has a silver case and blue leather straps, Streamer Classic with a golden case and brown leather straps, and Racing Edition with a gray case and black rubber straps.

In August, Honor unveiled the Honor X20 5G mid-range phone in China. Recent reports have revealed that the Chinese manufacturer is working on another X20 model called the Honor X20 Max 5G. A tipster from China has claimed that the X20 Max will be debuting this month.

The tipster claimed that Honor is gearing up for the upcoming Double 11 (Nov. 11) shopping festival in China. Apart from launching the Honor X20 Max, the company may carry out the first sale of the Honor Watch GS 3 this month.

To recollect, Honor announced the Honor Watch GS 3 smartwatch in August. At that time, the company did not confirm its availability. The below-shown screenshot shared by the tipster shows that the X20 Max 5G with KKG-AN70 has been approved by the CMIIT authority of China.

Past reports have revealed that the Honor X20 Max 5G will feature a 7.2-inch LCD panel that delivers an FHD+ resolution. It is unclear whether it supports a higher refresh rate.

The Dimensity 1100 chipset could be present under the hood of the X20 Max 5G. It is likely to house a 6,000mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging. Its back panel may feature a 64-megapixel (main) + 2-megapixel (macro) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera unit. At present, there is no word on the other specs and pricing of the X20 Max.

In related news, a reliable tipster claimed that the company is gearing up to launch the Honor 50 and Honor 50 Lite smartphones in the international markets. While the global Honor 50 could be the same model that debuted in June in China, the Honor 50 Lite could be a rebranded version of the Huawei Nova 8i. The tipster added that the appearance of the Honor 50 Lite will be the same as the Honor X20. Both models will break cover on Oct. 26 in global markets.

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 20:43:46 +0000

Honor has a new smartwatch but you can’t get your hands on it now because it is sort of not official yet. The new smartwatch is called the Honor Watch GS 3 (there wasn’t a GS 2) and Honor only briefly talked about its new heart rate sensor at its launch event today.

The highlight of the Honor Watch GS 3 is its 8-channel PPG sensor which also uses an AI algorithm and AI Engine to accurately measure heart rate. As shown in the image below, the heart rate module includes an 8-channel PPG module, a heart rate AI Engine, a frequency tracking algorithm, and an AI heart rate algorithm. Honor says they all work together to capture your heart rate data faster and more accurately.

There is no comparison, so we can’t say how well this compares to other heart rate sensors. We hope more details will be revealed in the near future.

The Honor Watch GS 3 itself has a round dial attached to a metal case. It has two physical buttons and uses quick-release straps.

We do not know when the watch will be properly launched but we still expect it to arrive this year.

Honor Magic 3 Global Launch Event: What to Expect & Where To Watch

Joel Joseph — Thu, 12 Aug 2021 07:46:40 +0000

Honor’s second major launch event after going independent will be live-streamed later today, and we can expect a bunch of products at the event including the new Magic 3 smartphone lineup, Honor X20 phone, Honor Magic 3S watch, and the Honor Tab V7 Pro.

Here’s what to expect from each of the products scheduled to be announced today.

Honor Magic 3 Series: Expected Design, Specs, Price

Honor Magic 3 is expected to come in three variants, a vanilla Honor Magic 3, Honor Magic 3 Pro, and Honor Magic 3 Pro+. There are also rumors about other variants like the Honor Magic 3 SE and Honor Magic 3 Pro Porsche Edition models, but the details are very scarce.

The Honor Magic 3 series will come with a 3D curved waterfall display, similar to what we have seen on Huawei flagships in the past. The screen size hasn’t been confirmed, but it’s expected to be a 6.76-inch display panel with 2772 x 1344 resolution. There will be a dual selfie punch-hole camera setup on the front, with the second camera featuring a structured light 3D face scanning solution.

The high-end Pro+ may feature Visionox’s in-screen camera solution. So, the top-end Magic 3 Pro+ model may feature a true full-screen display unlike the other two with punch-hole selfie shooters.

At the back, the phone is expected to feature a large circular camera housing. The device is likely to come in at least two colors – Blue and Golden. Renders also reveal a white-colored model, but the color variants will likely differ across the entire Magic 3 range.

Honor Magic 3 Special Edition?

Earlier today, live images of what looked like the Porsche edition of the Magic 3 were leaked online. The model in the pictures had a striking resemblance to the Huawei Mate 40 Porsche edition, however, it was without the Porsche branding at the back. So it’s possible that Honor may release this model as a special edition without the Porsche partnership.

We also know that the Magic 3 Pro will arrive with Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ SoC. A recent AnTuTu listing also revealed a 12GB + 256GB UFS 3.1 storage variant, but expect a couple of other lower-end variants for the Pro as well as vanilla models.

The Magic 3 vanilla variant could feature a quad-camera setup, while the Pro and Pro+ models could come with a penta-camera setup at the back. The vanilla Magic 3 could skip the Persicope camera while the one on the Pro models could offer up to 100X zoom.

The Honor Magic 3 will also feature the IMAX Enhanced audio and video experience. IMAX Enhanced brings the IMAX capabilities to consumers via TVs and projectors previously. It supports 4K HDR videos with DTS audio on HDR10+ displays. Honor says the Magic 3 will be the first smartphone to have the IMAX Enhanced feature, offering an expanded aspect ratio and immersive sound.

A tipster on Weibo also said that Magic 3 phones will arrive with Magic UI 5.0, a new version of the company’s OS. Interestingly, the latest Magic UI 5.0 could be based on HUAWEI’s HarmonyOS.

While the battery capacity of the vanilla variant hasn’t been leaked, it’s being said that the Pro+ (and possibly the Pro too) could feature a 4400mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. The Magic 3 may have a slightly slower 66W wired charging solution.

According to an old rumor, the Magic 3 will be priced around 4,000 Yuan (~$617), whereas the Magic 3 Pro will cost around 5,000 Yuan (~$771).

Honor X20 5G: Expected Specs & Price

While the Honor Magic 3 series is the flagship lineup from the brand, there’ll be another smartphone meeting us later today, the Honor X20.

A recent store listing revealed the entire specs of the Honor X20 5G. The phone will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 900 chipset and has a 6.67-inch LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. There will be two variants of the RAM and internal storage for the device. It has 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB internal storage, which is expandable via a microSD slot.

The Honor X20 will feature a quad-camera setup consisting of a 64MP primary camera, a 2MP depth sensor, a 2MP macro, and a 16MP front camera. There’ll be a dual selfie camera setup on the front with a 16MP primary lens. As for the battery, the phone should come with a 4,300mAh battery with 66W fast charging.

As for colors, it should be available in Blue, Silver, and Black.

A recently leaked image of the box revealed that the Honor X20 5G will be priced at 1,699 yuan which roughly converts to $262.

Honor Watch GS 3

Not much is known about the Honor Watch GS 3 but today’s teaser confirms that the watch will feature a round dial and will have an 8-channel Heart Rate (HR) sensor for more accurate HR scanning.

We can expect the watch to feature an AMOLED panel like the GS Pro and even feature a blood oxygen sensor along with other traditional features found in modern-day watches.

Details are scarce about the Watch GS 3, so we’ll have to wait for the official launch for more information.

Honor V7 Pro tablet: Expected Specs, Price, Design

Honor V7 Pro tablet is also confirmed to launch at the event today. The tablet will likely be called the HONOR Tab V7 Pro in the global markets.

According to an extensive leak about the tablet, the HONOR V7 Pro will sport an 11-inch 2560 x 1600 pixels LCD panel with 267 PPI, 120Hz refresh rate, and 16:10 aspect ratio. The tablet is expected to measure 252.1mmx163.6mmx7.2mm and weigh 485g.

It will be powered by a MediaTek Kompanio 1300T SoC customized for tablets. Expect storage variants like 6GB + 64GB, 6GB + 128GB, 8GB + 128GB, and 8GB + 256GB. As for software, it will run Magic UI 5.0, and it could be based on HarmonyOS.

The V7 Pro tablet should feature a dual-camera setup on the rear, featuring a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP macro shooter. There will likely be a 7,250mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging. You should get both LTE as well as WiFi-only variants. Finally, the HONOR V7 Pro tablet is said to feature a USB Type C port and will have support for both stylus and a floating keyboard accessory.
