Editor Rating
3.6/5

Honor 50 is a slim and sleek smartphone that is available at a relatively affordable price. It features a premium glass body with a lightweight plastic frame. The sides gently wrap around the frame to make it seem more premium and minimize the bezels. Even the front camera has been trimmed down to a tiny punch-hole that makes the display seem bigger and brighter. The fingerprint sensor is hidden underneath the display, although you only get an optical sensor. The rear panel has been given a glossy, matte finish, with the camera module shaped like a large curved pill that features two smaller circles inside.

Bottom Line

Honor 50 is a nice and powerful mid-range smartphone that features a very nice display, a reliable processor, usable cameras, and a large fast-charging battery to keep it all going. The only thing missing is wireless charging.
