Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: November 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Honor 50 (6GB + 128GB)

  • Vibrant 120Hz curved OLED display providing smooth scrolling and punchy colors
  • Ultra-fast 66W wired charging that reaches 70% in roughly 20 minutes
  • Sleek and lightweight design that feels premium and comfortable for one-handed use
  • Full access to Google Mobile Services, distinguishing it from Huawei-branded alternatives
  • Strong 32MP selfie camera and high-resolution 108MP main sensor for daytime photography
  • Reliable day-to-day performance with the Snapdragon 778G chipset

What customers don't like about Honor 50 (6GB + 128GB)

  • Lack of an IP rating for water and dust resistance
  • Absence of wireless charging and a 3.5mm headphone jack
  • No microSD card slot for expandable storage
  • Disappointing secondary cameras (macro and bokeh lenses) that add little value
  • Inconsistent low-light and night-time camera performance
  • Mono bottom-firing speaker lacks the depth and immersion of stereo setups
  • Temperamental Always-On Display (AOD) that occasionally fails to function

Verdict

The Honor 50 (6GB + 128GB) is a sleek and lightweight mid-range 5G smartphone running Android 11 with Google Mobile Services, powered by the capable Snapdragon 778G processor. Its main characteristics include a stunning 6.57-inch curved OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a high-resolution 108MP main rear camera complemented by a 32MP selfie camera designed with content creators in mind. A significant pro is the impressive 66W fast charging, which can charge the 4300mAh battery to 70% in just 20 minutes with the included charger. However, the phone has some notable cons, including the lack of an IP rating for water/dust resistance, no optical image stabilization (OIS), the inclusion of lower-quality 2MP macro and depth sensors, a single (mono) bottom-firing speaker, and no 3.5mm headphone jack or expandable storage via microSD card.
