There’s also a 2-megapixel macro sensor on board. While it doesn’t do too bad a job of extreme close-up photography (the ideal distance from the subject being just 4cm), it will rarely be useful on a day-to-day basis. Taken with the Honor 50’s macro sensor When it was time for the Snapdragon 778G to strut its stuff, I wasn’t left disappointed. Daily tasks, from playing videos and music to browsing various social media apps, were carried out without any lag whatsoever, and the Honor 50 also seemed to cope very well with playing mobile games. What’s more, you’ll also get 5G mobile data where available, which is far from a guarantee with devices at this price point. Test Type in fast and slow motion refers to the switching between the fast or slow speed and the standard speed. The device measures 160 x 73.8 x 7.8mm and is quite light, weighing in at just 175g. The curved screen makes the device comfortable to hold in the hand, but the subtle angling at the sides of this phone minimizes accidental touches on the edge of the display. The easy-to-reach power button on the right edge is an added bonus. But looks are one thing, and performance is another. There’s something a little bit… well, magic, about Magic UI.

We’re fans of the Honor 50 display. It’s a 6.57-inch OLED panel with a FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate and 300Hz touch input rate. The display curves at the edges and is broken up by a cut-out for the front camera at the center of the top edge.As for the practicalities, the phone measures 160 x 73.8 x 7.8mm and weighs 175g. Regrettably, it offers neither an SD card slot nor a 3.5mm headphone port. Some USB-C earphones are included in the box, but they’re of rather poor quality. Another point on sound is that there are dual speakers along the bottom edge of the phone, but nothing at the other end, leaving you short of a stereo experience when playing audio out loud. Nonetheless, the quality is fairly good.

The rear main camera is a 108MP main camera. High resolution photography can be experienced in “HIGH-RES” mode. Multi-video resolution is 1080p. Video resolution is up to 4K. For further comparison, here are three images taken of the British Museum: the first with the main sensor without Night mode; the second with Night mode applied; and the third taken with the ultra-wide sensor without Night mode engaged. Sadly, in such conditions the image from the ultra-wide camera is frankly unusable. Taken with the Honor 50’s main camera sensor, without Night mode enabled Taken with the Honor 50’s main camera sensor, Night mode enabled Taken with the Honor 50’s ultra-wide sensor The return of these apps is a night-and-day difference, once again making Honor’s products a viable option rather than a curiosity best avoided. test environment (please refer to specific descriptions for all items). In the actual use, they may be The 2MP cameras are the real weak links though, and there’s a trend of phone companies including low-res auxiliary cameras like this that don’t add much. We found macro pictures to be grainy and pixelated, and the depth sensor didn’t seem to add anything that wasn’t already present in the standard lens view.After an initial unveiling in mid-July, the Honor 50 was officially launched for the global market in late October, and went on sale on November 12. More worrying is the fact that the device doesn’t have an official IP rating, meaning that we have no idea how it would cope if caught out in a rain shower or dropped in water. The 6.57-inch OLED display has a sharp 1080 x 2340p resolution, displaying 1 billion colours for excellent accuracy. Brightness can be increased to retina-scorching levels should you so choose, although I didn’t experience any problems with the automatic mode. Of course, whether or not it appeals will be down to personal preference, although at least in this instance there’s a clear plastic case provided in the box to protect the device’s surface from smears. In my experience, the Honor 50 easily lasted a day of use – even with the 120Hz enabled at all times rather than having selected the dynamic option.

Along with the main sensor, Honor also includes an ultra-wide lens for added versatility. While it’s good to have, allowing you to capture far more with its 120-degree field view, it’s a significant downgrade in terms of resolution (at just 8 megapixels) – and I also experienced notable shutter lag with this lens. Taken with the Honor 50’s ultra-wide sensor relative humidity of 45% to 80%, 66W HONOR charger and the original charging cable are used to charge The rear main camera is a 108MP camera. The front camera is a 32MP camera. High resolution photography can be experienced in “HIGH-RES” mode. Using the device, the screen is probably the Honor 50’s single greatest feature: it’s big, sharp, smooth, and delivers basically everything you could hope for at this price point. Camera But now onto the lesser lenses, the 8MP ultra-wide, 2MP depth-sensing and 2MP macro snappers. The former is useful for taking snaps with a wide field of view, but pictures aren’t quite as colorful or high-res as those produced by the main snapper.As detailed in other sections, the software works hard to optimize the performance of this phone. We were dazzled by the animation complementing the 120Hz display. Additionally, we could actively prolong the phone’s battery life by attending to notifications warning us about power-intensive apps. One hour of watching Netflix at default brightness consumed just 3% of the battery (with it taking approximately 40 minutes to dip down from 100% over that time period). For another point of reference, the battery went down from 92% to 88% after one hour of streaming music to my Bluetooth headphones. I mentioned previously that the design draws attention to the 108-megapixel camera, and having used it, I can hardly begrudge its boastfulness. This sensor is super-strong, performing well in a variety of different lighting conditions and delivering good levels of detail. Taken with the Honor 50’s main camera sensor Taken with the Honor 50’s main camera sensor Taken with the Honor 50’s main camera sensor The front camera of the Honor 50 can take pictures with a 32 MP sensor. The quality is very good and even fine details and structures are clearly visible. Colors look quite natural, but they can also be adjusted via predefined color filters.

The main reason this smartphone is a big deal isn’t down to any of its impressive hardware specs, but rather the return of Google Mobile Services. the battery from 3% when the phone screen is off. The actual charging data may vary with products, usage The Honor 50 is curiously similar in terms of design to the Huawei Nova 9, right down to the dimensions, weight and rear camera design. The companies may have divorced, but it’s apparent they’re not quite over each other just yet. Overall, you’ll find that the main camera sensor is strong and reliable in most contexts, but you may well be disappointed by the quality of the auxiliary sensors. Performance It’s the camera module that’s most likely to catch your eye on the rear, where two large dark circles house camera clusters within the one unit – a little like an enlarged version of the iPhone X. There’s a reflective ring around the main 108-megapixel sensor to draw further attention to this key selling point.Skinned on top of the Android 11 operating system in the Magic 4.2 UI, which is unique to Honor. While it does come pre-installed with apps I’m unlikely to ever use, they don’t make a significant enough dent in the 128GB storage to be of real concern; nor did I find this proprietary software to be all that intrusive.
