Honor 50 Lite will have the same design as the Honor X20

Habeeb Onawole — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 13:50:46 +0000

Honor will be announcing new phones for the global market come October 27. The new devices are the Honor 50 and the Honor 50 Lite, and while the former is the same as the China version, the Honor 50 Lite is a new device in the Honor 50 series. It turns out it actually isn’t a new Honor phone per se.

According to the leaker @RODENT950, the Honor 50 Lite is a rebadged Huawei Nova 8i but the design is actually that of the Honor X20. While that may sound a bit confusing, it isn’t.

The Huawei Nova 8i and the Honor X20 are actually very similar. They have the same display size and type, front cameras, battery capacity, and fast charging technology. However, there are some differences which are actually on the back of the phones. The two phones have a similar rear design but the Nova 8i has four cameras while the Honor X20 has three. Because the latter has fewer sensors, its LED flash is housed along with the three cameras which isn’t the case on the Nova 8i whose LED flash sits outside the camera housing.

Since we know the design of the Honor 50 Lite is the same as the Honor X20, then we know it will have three rear cameras. We also know that the Honor 50 Lite will be a 4G phone which is where its similarity with the Nova 8i comes in. Unlike the Honor X20 which has a Dimensity 900 5G chipset, the Nova 8i has a Snapdragon 662 processor which we can expect will also power the Huawei 50 Lite. In fewer words, the Honor 50 Lite is a Honor X20 with a Snapdragon 662 chipset.

Based on these details, the Honor 50 Lite should launch with a 6.67-inch LCD FHD+ display with a pill-shaped cut-out for a 16MP front-facing camera. On the back will be a 64MP + 2MP + 2MP triple camera configuration and under the hood should be a 4300mAh battery with support for 66W fast charging. It should also have a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a USB-C port, and an audio jack. Just like the Honor 50, it should run Magic UI based on Android 11 with Google Mobile Services.

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.

Honor Magic 3 Launch Event: Where to Watch?

Honor Magic 3 launch event will take place in China and globally (online) at 7.30 PM CST / 5 PM IST / 12.30 PM BST.

Honor X20 launch date confirmed, key specs and design revealed

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Wed, 04 Aug 2021 04:20:03 +0000

It is already known that Honor will be announcing the Honor Magic 3 series of flagship phones and Honor V7 Pro tablet on Aug. 12 in China. Today, the company confirmed that it will be also announcing the Honor X20 smartphone through the same event.

Shown below is the launch date poster of the Honor X20. As can be seen, the display of the X20 features a pill-shaped cutout, which indicates that it will be sporting a dual selfie camera system.

The rear side of the X20 features a round-shaped camera housing. A closer look reveals that it houses a 64-megapixel triple camera unit and an LED flash. For security, it features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. The poster also confirms the two color variants of the device.

The poster also confirms that the Honor X20’s screen will carry support for a 120Hz refresh rate and 66W fast charging. It will be driven by a 6nm chipset. Past reports have revealed that the Honor X20 will be equipped with the Dimensity 900 chipset, which powers other devices such as Honor 50 SE and OPPO Reno6 5G. The other specs of the X20 are under wraps. Probably, the handset will be priced around 2,000 Yuan (~$309).

The Honor X20 will be positioned higher than the X20 SE that debuted in June in China. With a starting price of 1,799 Yuan (~$278), the X20 SE features a 6.6-inch IPS LCD FHD+ display with a centrally aligned punch-hole, a 16-megapixel front camera, a 64-megapixel + 2-megapixel (macro) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera unit, Dimensity 700 chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of built-in storage, Magic UI 4.0 based on Android 11, and a 4,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charge support.

Leaked Honor X20 photos show Huawei’s influence is still strong

Habeeb Onawole — Mon, 02 Aug 2021 12:09:33 +0000

The Honor X20 SE will be getting a more powerful version which will launch as the Honor X20. The phone’s arrival seems to be around the corner as live photos have surfaced on the internet, and they show that Huawei’s influence is still strong.

As seen in the images below, courtesy of the trusted leaker @RODENT950, the Honor X20 will have a flat display with a pill-shaped punch hole for two front-facing cameras.

The back of the phone is where the Honor phone really gives off a Huawei vibe, no thanks to its camera housing which reminds us of the Huawei Mate 30. There are three cameras in the circular housing along with an LED flash.

The backplate is curved to provide a more comfortable grip. A fingerprint scanner is not visible which may mean that there is one under the display or under the power button. The phone has a blue coat of paint but of slightly different shades. There should be other color variants when it launches.

The specs of the Honor X20 are still unknown but a recent leak said the phone will be powered by a Dimensity 900 processor. We expect more details will surface as the launch date draws closer.

Leak reveals the Honor X20 will be powered by a different MediaTek chipset

Habeeb Onawole — Sun, 01 Aug 2021 19:34:38 +0000

Back in May, a leaker revealed that Honor has restructured its product line, stating that the Honor X series will be a mid-range line. Last month, Honor announced the Honor X20 SE, and it launched as a Dimensity 700-powered phone with a starting price under $300. A more powerful model called the Honor X20 is expected to launch in the future and a new leak has surfaced regarding the chipset that will power the phone.

A report from April had stated that the Honor X20 will have a Dimensity 1200 processor but it has been almost four months now and the phone is yet to launch. According to a fresh leak out of China, the Honor X20 will not be powered by the Dimensity 1200 chipset.

The source, who goes by @熊猫很禿然 (Bald Panda), disclosed via a Weibo post that the Honor X20 is powered by the Dimensity 900 chipset. Considering that the source has a good track record regarding Honor and Huawei-related leaks, we have little doubt about it being wrong.

While the Dimensity 900 is a less powerful processor than the Dimensity 1200, it is a 6nm chipset too. Announced back in May, the processor has two Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. It also has a Mali G68 MC4 GPU.

Honor already has a Dimensity 900-powered phone in form of the Honor 50 SE. We can expect both phones to differ with respect to design, camera, and maybe even battery capacity and fast charging technology.

There is no info on when the Honor X20 will launch but we won’t rule out this quarter.

Honor 50 SE spotted with Dimensity 900 before launch

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 08:41:00 +0000

The Honor 50 SE that has a model number of JLH-AN00 has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking site today. Moreover, another unknown Honor phone with model number NTH-AN00 has also appeared on Geekbench (via). Both phones have were spotted at China’s 3C and TENAA certification sites in the recent past.

The TENAA listings of phones have not revealed any information on their specs. However, their 3C listings have revealed that they carry support for 5G connectivity, and they may debut a 66W charger. The Geekbench listing of both phones has revealed that they are equipped with 8 GB of RAM and Android 11 OS.

1 of 2

MediaTek’s MT6877V/ZA chip that fuels the JLH-AN00 phone is the Dimensity 900 chip, but there is no word on the chip that powers the NTH-AN00. A recent leak by tipster Ishan Agarwal revealed that the Honor 50 SE is driven by the Dimensity 900 chipset. Hence, it can be said that the NTH-AN00 smartphone is the Honor 50 SE. It is unclear whether JLH-AN00 is the Honor 50 phone or the rumored Honor X20, which is expected to debut a few weeks after the Honor 50 series.

The Honor 50 SE is speculated to arrive with a 6.78-inch FHD+ LCD screen, a 4,000mAh battery, a 16-megapixel front camera, and 100-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple rear cameras. The Honor 50 series that includes the Honor 50, 50 SE, and 50 Pro will be made official tomorrow through a launch event in China.

Honor X20 live shot leaked, reveals 64MP triple cameras

Anvinraj Valiyathara — Thu, 03 Jun 2021 09:02:30 +0000

Honor announced the Honor X10 smartphone in May last year and followed it up with Honor X10 Max in July. According to popular tipster Digital Chat Station, the Honor will be launching the Honor X20 lineup after the Honor X50, which is all set to launch on June 16. The tipster also shared a real-life image of the X20.

The Honor X20’s live shot shows that it has an attractive gradient-colored back panel. The upper-left corner of the phone’s back has a triple camera system headlined by a 64-megapixel lens. The right edge of the device has a volume rocker.

The predecessor Honor X10 featured a notch-less display and a pop-up selfie camera. There is no word on the front design of the phone. Hence, it remains to be seen whether the successor model continues to feature a notch-less display and a pop-up camera like the predecessor model.

Live shot of the Honor X20

Rumors have it that the Honor X20 could be featuring a 6.67-inch IPS LCD screen that supports a full HD+ resolution. It is likely to carry support for a high refresh rate. A recent leak claimed that it could be equipped with the Dimensity 1200 chipset.

The handset is likely to feature a 4,200mAh battery that supports 66W fast charging. Its other details are yet to appear. Probably, the Honor X20 series which may comprise of handsets like Honor X20, X20 SE, and X20 Pro may debut in July.

HONOR X20 tipped to feature MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC

Sudarshan Ravichandran — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 08:06:07 +0000

HONOR X series of smartphones used to compete with the Redmi Note series. But unfortunately, with the Huawei ban, last year’s HONOR X10 did not make it to the global markets. Now, as we are approaching the anniversary of its launch, details about its successor HONOR X20 have started popping up.

HONOR X10

According to a leakster (@馬然熊猫) on Weibo, the upcoming HONOR X20 will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 SoC. This piece of information comes from the same person who recently tipped the key specs of the vivo X70 series and the alleged vivo NEX 5.

Unfortunately, he did not say anything else about this forthcoming handset. According to a previous report, the HONOR X20 will be a mid-range phone like its predecessors.

For those unaware, last year, HONOR made changes to the X series branding. The number in the name is now preceded by X. Also, the HONOR X10, which is still being sold in China is the first device in the series with 5G connectivity.

The highlights of this handset include a pop-up selfie camera like its forerunner HONOR 9X, HiSilcion Kirin 820 SoC, 9 5G bands, and a 40MP Sony IMX600y RYYB sensor.

If the upcoming HONOR X20 is indeed powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 chipset, then it could be one of the cheapest phones with this SoC. It will likely compete with the recently launched realme GT Neo and the upcoming Redmi gaming smartphone.

Honor Magic 3 to come with Snapdragon 888; Magic X likely to be the foldable phone

Habeeb Onawole — Wed, 17 Mar 2021 13:14:21 +0000

It is no longer news that Honor is planning to release a new phone for its Magic series this year. Earlier reports have revealed that this new model will be a foldable smartphone. More details have now surfaced, revealing that we will be getting not one but two models in the Magic series and they will arrive as the Magic 3 and Magic X.

According to a tweet posted earlier today by RODENT950, Honor’s upcoming flagship phones include the Honor 40 series, the Magic 3, and the Magic X. We already know the Honor 40 series is expected to come later this summer. However, this is the first time we are knowing the official names of the new Magic series phones.

In a separate tweet, the leaker revealed that the Magic 3 will have a Snapdragon 888 processor, a classic Magic design, and a single punch hole. He also says the phone will be announced in July of this year.

Seeing as the Magic 3 will have what we believe is a regular candybar design, it is safe to assume that the Magic X will be the foldable phone. Unfortunately, the leaker didn’t reveal which processor the Magic X will have or what foldable design it will adopt

Another phone mentioned to be in the pipeline is the Honor X20 which will be a mid-range smartphone. This should be the successor to the Honor X10 5G that launched last May. We expect this new model to also have support for 5G and may likely be powered by a MediaTek processor.
