What we like about Honor 80 (12GB + 512GB)

  • High-resolution 160MP main camera that captures impressive detail
  • Vivid OLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate
  • Excellent battery life, typically lasting over a full day
  • Fast 66W wired charging capabilities
  • Sleek and lightweight aesthetic design with a curved screen
  • Solid mid-range gaming performance powered by the Snapdragon 782G

What we don't like about Honor 80 (12GB + 512GB)

  • Lack of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which can lead to shaky video
  • Presence of pre-installed Chinese apps on initial non-global versions
  • No official IP rating for water or dust resistance
  • Omission of a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card slot
  • Magic OS software can have occasional UI freezes or notification bugs
  • Underwhelming 2MP depth sensor compared to the high-end main lens

Verdict

The Honor 80 (12GB + 512GB variant) is a stylish mid-range 5G smartphone running Android 12 with MagicOS 7.0. It features a vivid 6.67-inch, 120Hz curved OLED display and is powered by the capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 782G processor. A standout characteristic is its impressive 160MP main rear camera system (accompanied by an 8MP ultrawide and 2MP depth sensor) and 32MP selfie camera. The device includes a substantial 4800mAh battery with 66W fast charging support and the specified large 512GB internal storage and 12GB RAM, making for a compelling performance and photo-centric device. The main pros are the high-resolution main camera, smooth OLED display, large memory configuration, and capable performance/battery life. Potential cons include the lack of optical image stabilization (OIS) on the camera, no IP certification for water resistance, and no option for expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
