Phone Rate 8 / 10

Honor 50 was unveiled at an event in China in mid-June 2021, along with two other phones in the series: Honor 50 SE and 50 Pro, it is worth noting that this is the first large phone issued by Honor since its separation from the parent company Huawei several months ago, and it is expected to achieve good sales in the market because it comes with some great features and specifications.

Unlike some of the big phones launched in China, we know for sure that the Honor 50 will be officially launched in most global markets, although we don't know for sure when exactly. But since we already know the phone's specifications, which you can read below, we know what to expect.

Honor 50 is one of the best phones in the middle range at the moment, as it comes with a great design and powerful specifications, but there are some amazing features in some aspects of the phone as well, such as 66W fast charging, the main camera, and more.

Honor 50 Price

The phone was officially unveiled in China on June 16, 2021 at an event held in China, some might imagine that the phone will be exclusive to the Chinese market only, as is customary in most Huawei and Honor flagship phones, but the surprise is that the company intends to launch it in most global markets like most The continent of Europe such as the United Kingdom, Germany, France and many other European countries, and we will also see the phone in most Arab countries as well, such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Libya, Kuwait and Qatar.

The 8 + 128 GB version comes at a price of 422 dollars - 1582 Saudi riyals - 6610 Egyptian pounds, while the 8 + 256 GB version was priced at 469 dollars, which is equivalent to 1760 Saudi riyals and 7,345 Egyptian pounds. The pricing of the phone actually looks excellent and looks like it will gradually pull the rug out from Oppo Reno5 Pro andSamsung Galaxy A72 And they are definitely the most prominent competitors in that price category.

Phone features

The design can only be described as very beautiful! From the curved screen to the gorgeous rear back and the new look of the camera module we've seen for the first time ever on a phone.
The Display size is very suitable, not too small and not too big which makes the phone remarkably comfortable in the hand.
We recommend watching videos and games on this amazing screen that has many features that are not found in the same competing phones in the same price segment, such as the high-quality screen that can display up to a billion colors and the refresh rate of 120 Hz and the screen that looks completely complete without any annoying notch except the hole The little one in the middle of the screen that houses the front camera
The latest software currently that increases the enjoyment of the use experience is the support of Google services, which was a major crisis for Huawei users, which entered into a conflict with the United States, which led to depriving it of using Google services that all users trust.
A powerful processor with which you will not feel any problems in terms of the experience of use, and it supports the fifth generation networks as well, which raises the shares of the phone compared to other competitors
Excellent rear camera, especially the main camera, with excellent video shooting quality
Front camera produces high-resolution images, saturated colors and full of detail, and is certainly of the same quality as the distinguished front cameras of OPPO phones.
The fingerprint sensor is very fast
A giant battery that is enough for a whole day of use, which supports its superiority is the super fast charging ability that enables you to fully charge the battery in just half an hour, so you can wake up in the morning and put your phone on the charger and as soon as you eat breakfast the battery will be fully charged
The colors of the phone are excellent and suitable for all tastes

Phone defects

The materials of the phone have not been officially announced by the company, but unfortunately we have a plastic back and not a glass one
No HDR10+ support
There is no protection layer on the screen and therefore the user must take care in order to protect the phone from scratches and bumps
The internal storage space is not expandable and therefore we advise the heavy user to purchase a 256 GB version
We had hoped to see the 12 + 256 GB version in order to see the maximum capacity in terms of the processor and the user experience
There is no reason to remove the headphone port which is one of the most convenience for most users because it saves them from buying cables or wireless headphones
