Third-party reviews

What we like about Honor X50 Pro 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • Powerful flagship-level performance from the Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset.
  • Exceptional battery life due to the large 5,800 mAh capacity.
  • Vibrant and immersive 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
  • The 108MP primary camera sensor captures detailed and high-quality photos.
  • Sleek and robust build quality with a premium feel.
  • Supports 5G connectivity for fast internet speeds.
  • Fast charging support (35W or 66W depending on the source) recharges the battery quickly.

What we don't like about Honor X50 Pro 5G (12GB + 256GB)

  • The secondary 2MP rear camera is considered basic and not very practical by users.
  • Some sources indicate only 35W charging support, which is slower than other flagships.
  • Lack of expandable storage (no microSD card slot).
  • May not be available with Google Mobile Services in all regions (e.g., in China it's sold via official Honor mall).
  • Video recording capabilities might be limited (e.g., 4K at 30fps with no OIS).

Verdict

The Honor X50 Pro 5G with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage is a performance-focused smartphone featuring a 6.78-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display with a 1.5K (1220 x 2652 pixel) resolution. It is powered by the capable Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and an Adreno 730 GPU, which provides smooth performance for gaming and multitasking. The main camera system is a dual setup with a high-resolution 108MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor, along with an 8MP front camera. A large 5800 mAh battery is a key feature, offering excellent endurance with 35W wired fast charging support. A major pro is its powerful processor paired with the large, vibrant 120Hz AMOLED display for an immersive user experience, all within a relatively light and premium-feeling design. Cons include the absence of a microSD card slot for expandable storage, no 3.5mm headphone jack, and only 35W charging, which is slower than some competitors. The secondary 2MP camera is also considered a largely decorative or low-utility sensor.
