Honor held a big two-day launch event in China, where yesterday we saw the debut of the MagicOS 7.0 interface while big hardware announcements were left for today, including three new phones.
The Honor 80 Pro and Honor 80 offer 160MP main cameras, Qualcomm chips and curved OLED displays. The Honor 80 SE is the cheapest entry among the three and gets a Dimension 900 and 64MP main camera.
Honor Magic Vs is the new flagship foldable in the Honor range, but we also have the brand new Honor 80 series consisting of three phones.
Honor 80 Pro and Honor 80
The Honor 80 Pro is the star of the show and gets a 6.78-inch curved OLED with a resolution of 2700x1224px and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The 10-bit panel features a centered pill-shaped cutout below the earpiece speaker, housing a 50MP selfie camera alongside a secondary 2MP depth module.
Honor 80 Pro and Honor 80
The Honor 80 features a slightly smaller 6.67-inch curved OLED display with 2400×1080px resolution and the same 120Hz refresh rate. There’s a single 32MP selfie cam housed in the punch hole here.
The Honor 80 Pro packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset although it is a slightly underclocked version with the main Cortex-X2 core running at 3.0Ghz (instead of 3.2GHz) while the three Cortex-A710 Gold cores are limited to 2.5GHz vs 2.75GHz on other phones with SD 8+ chips.
Honor 80 Pro (SD 8+1) and Honor 80 (SD 782G)
The Honor 80 carries the newly announced Snapdragon 782G chipset, which comes to succeed the SD 778G+ SoC.
Moving on to the cameras: Both the Honor 80 Pro and Honor 80 share the same 160MP main camera. It is a 1/1.56-inch sensor imaging sensor with f/1.8 aperture that performs 16-in-1 binning with 2.24μm pixels. Honor is also bringing its revamped image engine packed with improved scene optimizations, skin texture detection, and updated AI RAW algorithms. AI Vlog mode is here to give creators more advanced controls for their videos.
The Honor 80 Pro also gets a 50MP ultrawide module, while the third module on the back is a 2MP depth helper. The Honor 80 has a less capable 8MP ultrawide and the same 2MP depth module on the back.
Both phones run Android 12-based MagicOS 7 and pack 4,800mAh batteries with 66W wired fast charging. The Honor 80 Pro and Honor 80 are available in black, green, blue and pink colors.
