Honor 50

 

Honor 50 review: the screen is a joy, the battery is very reliable, and the main camera sensor is strong too.

Great screen ; Strong main camera ; Reliable battery life ; Good performance

Poor secondary cameras ; No IP rating ; No 3.5mm headphone jack or SD card slot

The Honor 50 announces the return of Google Mobile Services to the formerly beleaguered brand, but that’s not all: the screen is a joy, the battery is very reliable, and the main camera sensor is strong too. It’s only really let down by the poorer...

Honor 50 review: a smartphone success story

 

The Honor 50 is an excellent all-rounder that goes above and beyond its price tag

Stunning glass design ; Impressive 6.57inch OLED screen ; Decent performance

Seems fragile and it’s not water-resistant ; No MicroSD card slot to expand the storage ; Lacks wireless charging

If you want good value for money from your next smartphone then the Honor 50 should be on your shortlist. It's a mid-range handset with decent performance, a great camera system and a seriously long-lasting battery. It looks lovely too, although it...

Honor 50 initial review: Guess who's back, back again

 

Honor's return - now that it's not part of Huawei - is showcased in the Honor 50. But is it the comeback we were hoping for?

Google Services in place - full Play Store access ; More trim design than many is very comfortable to hold and use ; Smooth operation

Screen curvature is extreme and may cause accidental touch issue ; Quad camera is overbilled ; Plastic back loves fingerprints

Overall the Honor 50 has some attractive specification points wrapped into a package that, if the price is right, may hold appeal. But from here on out the brand is going to have to cut its own distinctive line - separate from Huawei - to really...

Honor 50 review

 

The Honor 50 is the former Huawei sub-brand's first global release since going solo - and the first to pack in full support for Google apps too.

Beautiful 120Hz curved OLED display ; Slim and light design ; Full Google software support ; Strong main camera

Secondary camera lenses disappoint ; No wireless charging ; No waterproofing

The Honor 50 is a welcome return to the global market (with Google!) that stands out for its beautiful design and top-notch curved OLED display, though struggles to excel elsewhere.

Honor 50 review

 

First stop on the comeback tour? After two long years in the wilderness, courtesy of some controversial geopolitics, budget smartphone specialist Honor is

Mostly competitive hardware ; Sleek styling ; Rapid charging

Extra cameras add little value ; Too many unwanted apps ; Rivals offer similar for less

Honor’s first solo effort away from the Huawei mothership packs design punch and a gorgeous screen, plus it finally brings Google’s apps back into the fold – but rivals either match it for the money, or offer more for little extra cash

Honor 50 review

 

The Honor 50 is a new mid-range offering from Chinese company Honor, formerly part of Huawei. We put it through its paces to see if it's worth your cash.

120Hz OLED display ; Google software returns ; Appealing design

Not the most intuitive to use ; Lacks IPX rating ; No wireless charging capability

Honor 50 Review: Marking a welcome return of the original youth phone brand

 

The launch of the Honor 50 marks the return of Honor in a global market, with Google services back where it belongs. The first offering is fighting in a mid-range market that has become increasingly competitive. Can Honor reclaim its former glory?

Stunning display quality and buttery smooth UI ; Strong and dependable battery life, with lightning fast charge times ; Good performance from primary camera

Supplementary cameras are disappointing ; Mono sound only
