Almost a year after Honor was gotten by Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology, the brand name is planning its rebirth beyond landmass China as it starts a comeback project. The phone was introduced. its residence nation and won’t be available in the United States or in Australia.
It is necessary to note that the Honor 50 5G comes with full support for GMS (Google Mobile Solutions) and that it is not Honor’s front runner smart device. That honor (pun planned) comes from the Magic3 Pro, a giant that uses a Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset.
RATES AS WELL AS ACCESSIBILITY
The Honor 50 5G smart device is readily available straight from Honor’s internet site in the UK as well as expenses as low as ₤ 450 for the 6/128GB design and ₤ 530 for the 8GB/256GB. Both come with a cost-free Honor MagicWatch 2 46mm worth ₤ 120; it will certainly be offered in a number of areas worldwide and also at the time of writing, the Chinese variation of the phone can be gotten from online seller Banggood albeit at a premium.
DESIGN
The phone is readily available in four coatings: silver, eco-friendly, black, or a special edition. We got the initial one and also were taken slightly aback by just how huge it is. Regardless of its dimensions (160mm × 74mm × 7.8 mm) however, it weighs only 175g and that’s partly because it makes use of plastic rather than glass for a lot of its body. Certain, the product is less attractive however it is additionally a lot more resilient – and also less costly – than glass.
A substantial 6.57-inch curved OLED screen inhabits greater than 90% of its front fascia with a 32-megapixel strike opening selfie cam resting right in the middle of the leading edge of the screen.
Under is a Type-C USB 2.0 port, which is a little dissatisfaction. Likewise, the absence of a 3.5-mm earphone jack might put some potential individuals off. All physical buttons – a quantity rocker and the power button – are located on the right-hand side of the gadget
EQUIPMENT AND ALSO IN OPERATION
Despite its midrange condition, the HONOR 50 Lite battery has some features that you would certainly anticipate to locate on high-end smartphones; that consists of Wi-Fi 6, 66W charging capacity (zero to 70% in 20 minutes) which 108-megapixel electronic camera sensing unit. The rest is well in the midrange.
There’s also a 4,300 mAh dual-cell battery, twin 5G SIM assistance (but no card viewers), GPU Turbo X graphics velocity engine, and what Honor calls “twin VC liquid cooling as well high thermal conductivity graphene technology to enhance the efficiency of warmth dissipation”.
The display is among the highlights of the phone: besides the attributes discussed previously, it has a 120Hz refresh rate, a 300Hz sampling rate, a 75-degrees curvature, can display more than one billion colors, a 5,000,000:1 contrast proportion, Three microphones, the capacity to record simultaneously from the front and also rear video cameras along with utilizing 5G and also Wi-Fi links to enhance downloading rates. Note that the phone has only one audio speaker rather than 2 which is a little bit of a disappointment.
The Snapdragon 780G is nippy, racking up a reputable 788 and 2826 points on Geekbench 5, which puts it in between the Snapdragon 860 (as made use of in the Poco X3 Pro) and also the Snapdragon 865 (found in the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G). The computed test on the other hand, which checks out the GPU, is a sore point with the phone striking just over 2200,
THE COMPETITORS
Honor has actually fasted to come to market with a competitive device yet the marketplace has not waited as well as has actually moved on. Oppo, Xiaomi as well as to a lower extent, Vivo and OnePlus, has loaded the space left by Huawei, Sony, and LG. The phone was released in June 2021 in China as well as is reaching coasts outside China virtually five months later throughout which a whole lot has actually happened.
The Xiaomi Poco F3 (8GB/256GB variation) surpasses the Honor 50 when it concerns the CPU (it uses a Snapdragon 870) however drags when it involves the cam subsystem with a 48-megapixel shooter the best it can provide. ₤ 349 gets you a powerful competitor if you are more than happy with a reduced pixel count.
VERDICT
So there we are, the return child has actually delivered an exceptional gadget, one that comes with the complete variety of Google Providers. The Honor 50 is a good handset that supplies simply sufficient to fall in the “far better than typical” group. The present promo makes it virtually a has to have but we’d still examine the rationale behind a mono speaker as well as a USB 2.0 port. As soon as the freebie is gone, however, things will certainly get tougher.
