Chinese tech brand HONOR has announced the HONOR 50 and 50 Lite smartphones in the global market. The range starts at €299 (roughly Rs. 26,000) and comes with Google Mobile Services since HONOR is not owned by Huawei anymore, which continues to be blacklisted by the US. Both the handsets offer a 120Hz display, quad rear cameras, and a 4,300mAh battery with fast-charging support.

The duo offers a quad rear camera setup
HONOR 50 bears a 108MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth camera. The HONOR 50 Lite gets a similar arrangement but with a 64MP main shooter. Up front, they have a 32MP and 16MP selfie snapper, respectively.
The handsets support 66W fast-charging
HONOR 50 is powered by a Snapdragon 778G chipset, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of storage. The chipset details of the 50 Lite are yet to be revealed.
