Honor has announced a new midrange phone, the Honor X80i, with pre-orders opening today in China. The device starts at 1,999 yuan, though government subsidies bring the effective starting price down to 1,699.15 yuan. Sales are scheduled to begin on April 10th.

The Honor X80i comes in four finishes — Sand Pink, Lime Green, Moon Shadow White, and Obsidian Black — and measures 7.34mm thick while weighing 185 grams. 

Honor says the phone uses a metal frame and a flagship-style integrated cold-carving process. It also carries SGS Gold Label five-star certification for drop resistance, with claims of surviving drops from up to 1.8 meters. There’s also IP66 dust and water resistance.

Honor X80i Specifications

On the front, the phone features a 6.6-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and ultra-narrow bezels. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate and reaches a peak brightness of 6500 nits. Honor is also emphasizing eye comfort here, with 3840Hz PWM dimming designed to reduce strain during extended use.

Internally, the X80i is powered by a Dimensity 6500 Elite chipset and paired with a large 7000mAh battery. Honor claims the battery can maintain its performance for over six years. Charging is capped at 45W. 

In terms of camera, the phone has a single 50-megapixel rear sensor and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.

Elsewhere, the phone includes an upgraded antenna system that reportedly improves weak signal performance by up to 130 percent, along with a new cooling system, stereo speakers, and an AI-enabled physical button.

The Honor X80i is available in multiple configurations, starting with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage for 1,999 yuan. The 8/256GB and 12/356GB models cost 2,199 yuan and CNY 2,499, while the higher-tier 12/512GB model is priced at 2,799 yuan. As with many Honor releases, there’s no word yet on wider global availability.

The post Honor X80i launches with 1.5K OLED panel, Dimensity 6500 Elite appeared first on Gizmochina.

Honor looks set to expand its mid-range lineup with the X80i. Details shared by Chinese tipsters on Weibo give a fairly complete picture of what to expect, even though the company hasn’t confirmed anything yet.

The phone is said to feature a 6.6-inch flat OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution. One number that stands out is the claimed 6,500 nits peak brightness. If accurate, that would be a significant jump over last year’s X70i, which peaks at 3,500 nits. The device is also expected to stay relatively slim at 7.34mm and weigh around 185g, which is interesting considering the battery size.

Speaking of which, the X80i could pack a 7,000mAh battery, with a rated capacity of around 6,800mAh listed on TENAA. Charging is expected to be capped at 45W, which isn’t the fastest, but seems like a reasonable trade-off given the capacity.

Performance duties are handled by the MediaTek Dimensity 7100, with some reports suggesting a Dimensity 7050 variant for certain markets. Either way, it should be enough for everyday tasks, light gaming, and general multitasking without much trouble.

The camera setup looks fairly simple. Leaks mention a dual rear system with either a 108MP or 50MP main sensor depending on the version, paired with a 5MP secondary camera. On the front, there’s an 8MP shooter. Nothing particularly ambitious here, but likely in line with the phone’s positioning.

Other details include an in-display fingerprint sensor, a metal frame for a more premium feel, and what’s described as an AI shortcut button.

There’s still no word on pricing or an exact launch date, but based on these early details, the Honor X80i seems to be shaping up as a battery-focused mid-ranger with a strong emphasis on display quality.

The post Honor X80i specs leaked: Dimensity 7100, 6500-nit display, 7000mAh battery and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

A forthcoming Honor smartphone has appeared with the model number LNA-AN00 in the database of China’s TENAA certification. This device is believed to carry the Honor X80i branding when it hits the Chinese market. The listing reveals several key specifications of the device, including details about its display, battery, cameras, and hardware configuration.

Honor X80i specifications

The TENAA listing reveals that the Honor X80i will feature a 6.6-inch OLED display that offers a resolution of 1200 x 2600 pixels. The phone is expected to be powered by a 2.6GHz octa-core processor, although the exact chipset name has not been confirmed yet.

In terms of memory configurations, the X80i may arrive with 6GB, 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB of RAM, along with storage options such as 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. The handset is listed with a 6,800mAh rated battery, suggesting that the typical capacity could be around 7,000mAh when officially announced.

For photography, the Honor X80i is expected to feature an 8-megapixel front camera for selfies. On the rear, the device is equipped with a 50-megapixel primary camera, accompanied by an additional sensor as part of a dual-camera setup.

The X80i is also expected to feature an in-screen fingerprint sensor and an IR blaster.  The TENAA listing further reveals that the handset measures 157.43 x 75.35 x 7.34mm and weighs around 185 grams, indicating a relatively slim profile despite packing a large battery.

While Honor has not officially confirmed the launch timeline yet, the appearance of the device on TENAA suggests that the Honor X80i may debut in China later this month.

Last year’s Honor X70i for the Chinese market was similar to the Honor 400 Lite, which debuted globally. Therefore, China’s Honor X80i could be somewhat similar to the Honor 600 Lite (model number LNA-NX1), which recently debuted in the global market.
