How about a new smartphone with amazing cameras for taking pictures on vacation? Amazon UK has discounts on a couple of Honor models that will help you capture the memories during the celebrations. There’s also a 12-inch tablet to binge on, plus a laptop for some light gaming (or, you know, work).
The Honor 70 is part of the upcoming series, but the Honor 80 hasn’t arrived in the UK yet and its price is unknown. The 70 is still an all-around mid-ranger with a 6.7” FHD+ OLED display (120Hz, HDR10+) and a Snapdragon 778G+. Many in this segment stick to a basic 8MP ultra-wide angle, but not Honor: It has a 50MP 122° camera, in addition to the 54MP (1/1.49″) main module.
When we reviewed this phone earlier this year, we were quite happy with the image quality of the 32MP selfie camera. The 4,800mAh battery achieved a 100-hour endurance rating in our tests and was quick to charge: 0-71% in 30 minutes, 0-100% in 50 minutes.
The Honor Magic4 Pro is the company’s current flagship (the Ultimate version isn’t available in the West and doesn’t add much anyway). It costs almost double the price of the Honor 70, but carries the flagship Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and switches to an LTPO (1-120Hz variable refresh rate) display panel with higher pixel density (460ppi vs 395ppi) . In addition, it has reinforced glass and an IP68 degree of protection (the Honor 70 does not have basic protection).
Even better, in addition to the 50MP main and 50MP ultra-wide-angle cameras, there’s a 64MP 90mm periscope lens (3.5x magnification) and a 3D ToF sensor. There’s another ToF sensor on the front, as well as a 12MP (100°) ultra-wide selfie camera. The small 4,600mAh battery doesn’t last as long as the Honor 70’s battery, the Magic4 Pro scored an 82-hour endurance rating. At least it’s quick to charge: it takes 30 minutes using a USB cable (at 100W) or 40 minutes using a 100W wireless charger.
Honor Earbuds 3 Pro deliver high-quality audio and can do it even at high volume. The 11mm driver and piezo tweeter deliver a punchy base and clear highs. Honor also nailed the fit and comfort. Active noise cancellation is good, although the automatic mode gets it wrong at times. Overall, we were quite impressed with the buds when they cost £170, now they look even better at £61 off.
Most Android tablets are between 8 and 10 inches in size, but whether you’re streaming video or reviewing documents, bigger is better. The Honor Pad 8 is an affordable 12-inch tablet with a 2,000 x 1,200 px IPS LCD. The Snapdragon 680 chipset isn’t terribly powerful, but this isn’t a gaming tablet anyway. You get the Widevine L1 so you can stream Netflix and YouTube can play 1080p, and there are a total of eight speakers for great audio.
Some still prefer laptops to tablets. The Honor MagicBook 16 is powered by the AMD Ryzen 5 5600H (Zen 3, 45W TDB, 6 cores, 12 threads, Vega 7 with 7 CUs). This particular unit comes with 16GB of RAM (soldered) and a 512GB SSD. The display is better than most laptops: 16.1-inch 1080p IPS LCD with 144Hz refresh rate.
