Honor 80 Pro is the star of the show and gets a 6.78-inch curved OLED with a 2700×1224px resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The 10-bit panel features a centered pill-shaped cutout below the ear speaker, which houses a 50MP selfie camera alongside a secondary 2MP depth module. Honor 80 features a slightly smaller curved 6.67-inch OLED display with 2400×1080 px resolution and the same 120Hz refresh rate. There’s a single 32MP selfie cam housed in the punch hole cutout here.
Honor 80 Pro packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon
8+ Gen 1 chipset though it is a slightly underclocked version with the prime
Cortex-X2 core running at 3.0Ghz (instead of 3.2GHz) while the three
Cortex-A710 Gold cores are capped at 2.5GHz compared to 2.75Ghz on other phones
with the SD 8+ chip. Honor 80 brings the just announced Snapdragon 782G
chipset, which comes to succeed to the SD 778G+ SoC.
Moving on to the cameras – both the Honor
80 Pro and Honor 80 share the same 160MP primary camera. This is a 1/1.56-inch
imaging sensor with an f/1.8 aperture that does 16-in-1 binning with 0.75µm
pixels. Honor is also bringing its revamped Image Engine packed with improved
scene optimizations, skin texture detection and upgraded AI RAW algorithms. AI
Vlog mode is here to bring creators more advanced controls to their videos.
Honor 80 Pro also gets a 50MP ultrawide
module, while the third module on its back is a 2MP depth helper. Honor 80 has
a less capable 8MP ultrawide and the same 2MP depth module on its back. Both
phones boot MagicOS 7 based on Android 12 and pack 4,800 mAh batteries with 66W
wired fast charging. Honor 80 Pro and Honor 80 are available in black, green,
blue and pink colors.
