In a recent unveiling in China, HONOR introduced the X50 Pro, showcasing an impressive array of features and specifications that raise eyebrows in the smartphone realm. The device boasts a 6.78-inch 1,200×2,652 120 Hz OLED screen, featuring 1,920 Hz PWM dimming and 10-bit color support, coupled with an embedded fingerprint sensor for seamless security.
While the screen offers a high refresh rate of 120 Hz, it’s notable that the absence of an LTPO panel limits the switching options between 60 Hz and 120 Hz, without intermediary steps. However, this vibrant display promises an immersive visual experience for users.
Powering the X50 Pro is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, although its presence might feel slightly dated in the wake of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 release.
Turning attention to its photography capabilities, the rear setup showcases a commanding 108 MP primary camera boasting an f/1.75 aperture and a 1/1.67″ type sensor. Interestingly, there’s a decorative 2 MP sensor positioned within the vast camera island, seemingly for decorative purposes more than functional significance. The “MATRIX AI VISION CAMERA” inscription within the camera setup adds to the device’s visual identity.
The selfie camera is an 8 MP unit, providing capable front-facing photography capabilities. Fueling this technological marvel is a robust 5,800 mAh battery, with support for 35W wired charging—a commendable feature ensuring prolonged usage without frequent refueling.
Running on Android 13 with MagicOS 7.2, the X50 Pro offers a blend of familiarity and innovation in its software suite. Available in Elegant Black or Green variants, the device is priced at CNY 2,799 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model, roughly translating to $395 or €357. However, international availability remains uncertain at this juncture.
The HONOR X50 Pro arrives as a promising addition to the smartphone market, boasting an intriguing amalgamation of cutting-edge specifications and design elements. As enthusiasts await further updates on its availability beyond China, the X50 Pro stands tall as an embodiment of technological prowess, leaving a mark with its impressive lineup of features.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Honor X50 Pro’s potential global rollout, marking an exciting chapter in HONOR’s smartphone legacy.
