Honor is finally back with a smartphone that has Google Mobile Services onboard: the Honor50. For RM1,699, it's a stunner, but is the beauty only skin deep?
There was a time when almost everyone in Malaysia knew at least one person with a Honor smartphone in their pocket. Honor devices were usually pretty stylish, priced fairly decently and typically didn’t disappoint. And then the whole Huawei controversy with the US govt happened, and Honor kinda got caught in the crossfire.
The camera bump not withstanding though, I will admit, this is a very sleek and sexy looking device. Honor Malaysia have provided us the Emerald Green variant, which sort of gives off the classic British racing green vibes. The side edges of the display are tightly curved too, meeting the curves of the back glass panel while the top and bottom of the device have a nice, flat finish to them. The aesthetic appeal here is genuinely pretty impressive.
For the most part, it handled everything just as well as you’d expect it to, with minimal noticeable moments of lag during normal usage and multitasking. It was also able to run games on it just fine; I had quite a number of hours on Pokemon Unite and MTGA on it. But if you were planning on getting the Honor 50 just for gaming on the go, it should be noted that the device will get quite warm after a while of heavy usage.
As for battery life, the 4,300mAh battery isn’t much by 2021 standards. Nevertheless, I was able to get a full day of normal usage; that means about six hours of screentime, with mostly social media and texts, some YouTube and Tiktok at mostly half brightness. That being said, I did see quite a bit of battery optimisation here, with multiple notifications telling me about apps with heavy battery usage in the background.Here’s where I felt the Honor 50 truly shines. It has a 6.
