HONOR has announced three new additions to its mid-range portfolio. The HONOR 50 Series – HONOR 50, 50 Pro, and 50 SE, all boast 120Hz displays, 108MP main cameras, and will ship with something we haven’t seen in a while – GMS.
HONOR 50 Pro
Heading the lot is the HONOR 50 Pro which is equipped with a 6.72-inch curved 10-bit FHD+ AMOLED display with a 300Hz touch sampling rate and houses a pair of front cameras – a 32MP main sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide unit. It packs a 4,000mAh battery with support for 100W wired fast-charging
HONOR 50
The vanilla HONOR 50 has a smaller 6.57-inch screen and shares the same display specs as the Pro variant, only that it has a single 32MP front shooter. The device houses a 4,300mAh battery with support for 66W wired fast-charging.
Both are powered by a Snapdragon 778G paired with an Adreno 642L GPU. This processing package delivers a near-SD780G performance. You get 8GB/12GB of RAM and Magic UI 4.2 on top of Android 11.
For optics, they also share a similar camera setup. Apart from the 108MP main snapper, there’s also an 8MP ultra-wide unit and a pair of 2MP lenses for macro and depth.

It uses the same 108MP sensor on the HONOR 50 and HONOR 50 Pro, alongside an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro camera.
The device also uses Magic UI 4.2 on top Android 11 and houses a 4,000mAh battery with 66W wired fast-charging.
