What we like about Honor 50 Pro (8GB + 256GB)

  • Extremely fast 100W wired charging, which can reach 90% capacity in about 20 minutes.
  • Large, vibrant 6.72-inch AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
  • Sleek and premium design with comfortable curved edges and a lightweight build.
  • Full access to Google Mobile Services, a major return for the brand.
  • Capable selfie camera system, including an ultrawide lens popular with content creators.
  • Solid everyday performance and multitasking powered by the Snapdragon 778G chipset.

What we don't like about Honor 50 Pro (8GB + 256GB)

  • Lack of an official IP rating for water and dust resistance.
  • No wireless charging support, even though the wired charging is very fast.
  • Mono speaker setup on a Pro-tier device is often described as 'tinny' or a 'joke' by users.
  • Secondary rear cameras (2MP macro and bokeh lenses) are frequently criticized as 'gimmicky'.
  • Lack of expandable storage via microSD card.
  • Night photography performance is sometimes inconsistent compared to previous Huawei-era flagships.

Verdict

The Honor 50 Pro (8GB + 256GB) is a premium mid-range smartphone featuring a powerful Snapdragon 778G 5G processor and a vibrant 6.72-inch, 120Hz OLED display, offering smooth performance and stunning visuals. Its main selling point is the versatile quad-camera system, headlined by a sharp 108MP main sensor, excellent for detailed photography, complemented by a unique dual punch-hole front setup with a 32MP main and 8MP ultrawide selfie camera. The phone charges rapidly due to its impressive 100W SuperCharge support, capable of nearly full charge in under 30 minutes. A key con for this model is that it was released during the period when Honor was still affected by sanctions, meaning the global version typically lacks pre-installed Google Mobile Services (GMS), which could limit app accessibility for some users outside of China.
