Honor 80 Key Specifics
To begin with, Honor 80 comes with a 6.67 inch OLED Display, along with a 120Hz refresh rate and 2400×1080 pixel resolution that will be powered by the recently announced Snapdragon 782G chipset, which serves as the successor for SD 778G+ SoC.
Then you have the 10-bit panel that features a centered pill shaped cutout that is found directly below the ear speaker, where you also find a 50MP selfie camera and a 2MP depth module, and a single 32MP selfie cam with a punch hole cutout in the middle.
Honor 80 Pro too comes with a 6.67 inch OLD display likes its counterpart and will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset that is an under-locked version with prime Cortex- X2 core that runs at 3.0GHz, along with a three Cortex-A710 Gold cores that are capped at 2.5GHz.
Coming to camera, both models share the same 160MP primary camera with a 1/1.56 inch image sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, along with a revamped engine that the company has promised with improved scene optimizations, upgraded AI RAW algorithms, along with advanced controls like AI Vlog mode for hardcore vloggers.
Honor 80 Pro gets a 50MP ultra module, along with a third 2MP depth helper found at the back, while Honor 80 is rather less capable than 80 Pro in this regard with an 8MP ultra-wide but the same 2MP depth helper module at the back.
