Honor is hosting an event in China on November 23 to unveil the Magic Vs foldable smartphone and the Honor 80 series, expected to consist of four models - vanilla, SE, Pro, and Pro+. The Honor 80 Pro+ is rumored to sport a 160MP camera on the back, and while we are yet to get any confirmation on that from Honor, the Chinese brand today announced that the Honor 80 Pro will feature a 160MP camera.
Honor made this revelation through a Weibo
post, which also includes a poster showing the Honor 80 Pro with a
center-aligned dual camera setup. There's no official word from Honor about the
Pro model's front-facing cameras, but rumors have it that the Honor 80 Pro+
will also sport a dual camera setup, which will be a combination of two 50MP
units.
Circling back to the Honor 80 Pro, the
machine translation of the Chinese language text at the bottom of the poster
says the camera on the smartphone "supports up to 160MP, and the
experience is 160MP. Enter the 'high pixel' mode to experience." One might
argue that it could also mean Honor is using a lower-res sensor to take 160MP
pictures with software tricks, but if that was the case, we don't see any
reason to make a big deal about it.
Honor is yet to explicitly confirm the
existence of the Honor 80 Pro+, but since its Weibo post uses the word
"series" to promote the 160MP camera in the lineup, it's basically a
confirmation that there will be more than one smartphone in the Honor 80 series
featuring a 160MP camera. Honor previously confirmed that the Honor 80 will
have the Snapdragon 782G SoC at the helm, while the Honor 80 Pro will be
powered by the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chip. All smartphones in the lineup will run
MagicOS.
You can expect to hear more about the
Honor 80 series in the lead-up to the official unveiling on November 23.
