The basic 100 is a thin 7.8 mm device with a 6.7” OLED display of 1220p resolution and a fingerprint scanner under the panel. The new Qualcomm chipset has a CPU with one Cortex-A715 core that goes up to 3.15 GHz, three more at 2.4 GHz, and the four Cortex-A510 units for efficiency at 1.8 GHz.
There are just two shooters on the back –
50 MP main with Sony IMX906 sensor f/1.95 aperture and OIS and a 12 MP
ultrawide shooter with 112 degrees FoV. The selfie camera has another 50 MP
sensor and an f/2.1 lens in front.
The C1 chip determines the best cell tower
to connect to, and when there is Wi-Fi connectivity, the phone can switch
effortlessly between networks. Honor promises 100 series phones will have
smoother calls on high-speed train rides, while internet and video will run
smoothly in the subway and elevators. There is a 5,000 mAh battery inside the
Honor 100, and the company will provide the needed adapter in the retail box.
Other highlights include NFC, Honor Histen sound and MagicOS 7.2 on top of
Android 13.
