A couple of months in the past, the Honor 70 launched in Europe, and it acquired a heat welcome in our polls. Now, we’re already speaking in regards to the Honor 80 collection – which hasn’t reached Europe but, however it’s coming. Are individuals excited? Sure and no. Extra particularly, sure to the Honor 80 Professional, and no to the vanilla and SE fashions.
Technically, there isn’t a Professional+ this era, however the Honor 80 Professional virtually fills that area of interest with its Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. Nicely, virtually, as a result of a telephoto lens would have been good to see. We suppose the upper decision 160MP sensor makes up for that partially with higher digital zoom, however some commenters had been asking how come this comparatively costly telephone would not have OIS on the principle digital camera.
The Honor 80 Professional did not win over everybody, but it surely did attract a good variety of supporters, a quantity that may solely develop if the telephone opinions effectively.
The vanilla Honor 80 looks as if a poor substitute for the Honor 70. The chipset is extra highly effective, however solely simply, the 50MP extremely vast is swapped out for a fundamental 8MP unit, and the remaining is not all that completely different from a telephone that’s a number of months previous (not too previous, however sufficiently old to get reductions).
The Honor 80 SE fared even worse, it looks as if an entire miss. The downgraded chipset and cameras don’t look good on this $300+ telephone – it is lower than 15% cheaper than the superior vanilla mannequin. Only a few voters expressed help for this mannequin, so it’s going to want a strong low cost earlier than gross sales choose up.
We are going to finish this on a excessive observe. Foldables are nonetheless surrounded by skepticism, however individuals who benefit from the type issue see potential within the Honor Magic Vs. In comparison with the unique Magic V, the Vs upgrades the chipset (8+ Gen 1), provides a telephoto digital camera as a substitute of a second vast module and will increase battery capability barely.
The vanilla Vs is comparatively low-cost as horizontal foldables go, however even the pricier Magic Vs Final model discovered its supporters. You’ll be able to take a look at our hands-on evaluation of the Honor Magic Vs for extra particulars.
