Honor has already confirmed that the new Foldable Magic Vs will be unveiled on November 23rd. Today, the company’s CEO, George Zhao, posted a video on Weibo revealing that the Honor 80 series will also take the stage next Wednesday. The smartphones feature two centrally positioned front cameras that pave the way for Dynamic Island-type notifications.
Timmy Yip, a 58-year-old renowned Hong Kong artist with works in costume design, visual and contemporary art unveiled the design of the Honor 80 series. Another prominent influencer who has promoted the devices on his page is Chinese model and actor Simon Gong. Gong has been part of the Honor family since the 50 series.
The camera design with two large circles has actually been part of Honor since the separation from Huawei. However, the upcoming camera module looks like the cleanest implementation so far. Apart from various photo and video teasers, not much is known about the 80s series.
At least three devices are to expect. The Honor 80 uses a Dimensity 1080 chipset, the 80 Pro comes with a 108 megapixel camera and a Snapdragon 778G chipset. The flagship-device Honor 80 Pro+ uses a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor and a 160 megapixel main camera. Two 50 megapixel-shooters cover the selfie-department.
