Honor 50 review: A familiar swallow returns, a new work that is closely connected with Huawei

In November last year, Huawei made a bold decision to separate from Honor in a rather tragic atmosphere. Since then, the outside world has paid close attention to how the Honor brand will perform in the mobile phone market.

The first product of Honor after it went solo was the V40, but considering that the phone was launched just two months after Huawei and Honor separated, it is hard to say that this product was developed completely independently by Honor. The Honor 50, which was released in the middle of this year, is more like the first official product after Honor's restart.

The one in my hand is in the "Moyuqing" color, which adopts a glossy design. It is dazzling and steady. It is suitable for literary youths or business people. But it should be noted that this material is easy to collect fingerprints. If you mind this, it is recommended to choose other colors.

The Honor 50 weighs about 175 grams and is 7.78 mm thick, which is considered light and thin in today's mobile phone market. The glossy material of the back panel is smooth but not easy to slip, making the entire phone feel very comfortable to hold. In general, the Honor 50 is also a model that is more suitable for "naked running".

The Honor 50 supports 66W fast charging technology, has a battery capacity of 4300W, and it takes about 45 minutes to fully charge. Such battery life and charging performance should be sufficient for non-heavy mobile phone users.

The Honor 50 is equipped with the Qualcomm 778G chip released this year. For a mobile phone that does not focus on gaming performance, this chip is sufficient. The AnTuTu score of the Honor 50 is 431385 points, which is a standard level.

In terms of games, "Peace Elite" can run stably at around 60 frames under extreme picture quality, and "Honor of Kings" can also run stably at 60 frames after turning on the extreme picture quality. It can be seen that Honor has done a lot of work in optimizing the game.

The Honor 50 is equipped with a 100-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth-of-field camera. From the actual shooting effect, the camera's white balance and color reproduction performance are excellent, and the 100-megapixel also brings it good resolution performance. From the perspective of photography, the Honor 50 can compete with the latest flagship phones of various manufacturers.

In terms of video recording, Honor 50 has also launched a multi-lens recording function to meet the increasing demand for Vlog creation. After turning on this function, users can turn on the front and rear cameras at the same time to shoot. For users who love to record their lives, Honor 50 is undoubtedly a very flexible and powerful product.

Although Honor 50 is the first product after Honor and Huawei completely separated, we can still see the inextricable connection between the two. The most typical example is that the Huawei P50 series, which was launched after Honor 50, uses the same lens module as the former. Perhaps, some of Huawei's new designs and ideas in the future will still be shared with Honor.

In addition, Honor 50 is also perfectly compatible with Huawei devices and accounts. When you turn on Huawei headphones next to Honor 50, the familiar pop-up window will still appear on the phone; Honor Share and Huawei Share can also transfer various types of information in the mobile phone to each other unimpeded; even logging in to a Huawei account on Honor 50 can still sync contacts and memos.

All this undoubtedly shows that although Huawei and Honor have separated from each other, the two parties still maintain some kind of connection at the underlying level.

The Honor 50 has a light feel, good performance and outstanding imaging capabilities, and is generally satisfactory. Although it cannot immediately take over the banner of Huawei's high-end products, it already has sufficiently outstanding strengths, and the various Huawei imprints on it will also allow old Huawei users to switch seamlessly when changing phones.
