SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Global technology brand HONOR today announced the global availability of the HONOR 50, at launch events in multiple markets around the world. The HONOR 50 is equipped with GMS and is the first smartphone to feature Qualcomm’s SnapdragonTM 778G Mobile Platform. In addition, its stunning design and innovative vlogging capabilities raises the benchmark for smartphones in this category. The global availability of the HONOR 50 reinforces HONOR’s ambitious overseas expansion plans following its successful launch in China earlier this year.

Unparalleled Camera System for the Ultimate Vlogging Experience
With the rapid growth of short videos, young people have increasingly turned to vlogging to record and share their daily moments with the world around them. The HONOR 50 brings the one-take vlog shooting experience to the next level.
Equipped with a 32MP front camera with a 90o viewing angle[2], users can take perfect selfies and videos, with more people and scenery captured in the frame. Boasting a pro-grade quad rear camera setup, the HONOR 50 comes with a 108MP[3] main camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth camera, allowing users to shoot photos and videos in ultra-clarity and in beautiful detail, even at night.

Offering even more choice when it comes to capturing content, users can also apply beauty mode, capture photographs from videos, and use pre-set video story templates on all their footage. In addition, wireless headsets[4] connected via Bluetooth can be used as wireless microphones during video capture. Creators can achieve better sound reception while shooting videos, providing an effortless vlogging experience.
Superior Craftmanship and Dual Ring Camera Design
Embodying a premium and unique aesthetic that reflects the latest design trends, the HONOR 50 features an ultra-slim bezel on the front and 2.5D polishing glass edges on both upper and lower sides of the display, delivering a smooth surface to bring users a greater experience visually and in hand.
When the HONOR 50 is tilted against the light at different angles, it glitters and shimmers, making it the perfect fashion statement to match any outfit.
Paying homage to the classic twin lens reflex camera, the HONOR 50 adopts a dual ring camera design made up of two concentric circles on the back, resembling a pair of eyes to help users see more of the world around them. Drawing inspiration from the classic ring designs of luxury jewellery brands, the top circle featuring the main camera is polished with the same classic, timeless metal ring on the edge.
