Honor Magicbook 14 with 12th Gen Intel processor goes official from RM4,299

6.6K

Aside from launching the Honor 70, Honor Malaysia has introduced the all-new MagicBook 14 with the 12th Gen Intel Core i5 12500H processor, the laptop features an updated design with a 3:2 aspect ratio display and comes equipped with a huge 75Wh battery that claims to offer up to 15 hours of video playback and 10.5 hours of productivity, making this a very attractive choice among its class.

Equipped with a 14-inch 2.1K FullView display that covers 100% sRGB with 300nits brightness, the MagicBook 14 weighs 1.58kg despite having an aluminum body and measures 15.9mm, ports selection is very impressive with two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 and a HDMI 2.0 port, while it comes with a 2-speaker system that supports Nahimic Audio.

Honor claims that the Core i5 12500H processor can easily perform up to 70W of power all thanks to its dual-fan cooling system that promises to be as quiet as 20dB, the cooling fans also has over 100 blades to ensure efficient air flow dissipating heat through the back, while the RTX 2050 Laptop GPU can deliver up to 60W full power with 4GB of GDDR6 memory.

The MagicBook 14’s battery can be juiced up in 15 minutes to offer 3 hours of usage with the included 135W USB-C charging adapter, while it will take around around 80 minutes to fully charge the battery from 0% when in sleep mode, which is very commendable considering the huge battery size it comes with.

Starting at RM4,299, the Honor MagicBook 14 comes with 16GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB of NVMe SSD as standard, it will be available for purchase starting 27th August 2022 and customers will receive up to RM1,026 worth of free gifts, including a Honor Backpack, Honor Leather Laptop Sleeve, Wireless Mouse and Microsoft Office Home & Student 2021.

HONOR MagicBook 14 with AMD Ryzen 5 3500U launched in Malaysia for RM2,299 – available April 8

354

We recently had an early look at the new
HONOR
MagicBook
 laptop and covered everything from aesthetics and its hardware – today, the device has officially been launched and we have the Malaysian price for you.

The HONOR
MagicBook
 14 is priced at RM2,299 and will be available midnight on 8 April. Early birds will be able to get freebies worth up to RM1,017 which includes a
Bluetooth
 mouse, an HONOR Magic Watch 2 and an HONOR laptop backpack.

As a refresher, the
MagicBook
 we’re getting here isn’t the one introduced in Barcelona last month – so no Azure Blue Chamfer; instead you get a plain Space Grey option, which still looks sleek. There’s also no pop-up webcam – you get yours placed on the top display bezel.

Speaking of the display, you get
a
 FHD IPS anti-reflective panel with relatively thin side frames. This lets the laptop have a 13-inch body with a larger display.

The body itself is
aluminium
 all around and has the brand HONOR engraved on the cover with silver accents.

Although this is the first-generation HONOR
MagicBook
 – you still get the newer AMD Ryzen 5 3500U CPU with Radeon Vega 8 graphics. Plus you get 8GB DDR4 RAM (2,400MHz) and 512GB of PCIe SSD for storage. This is the only configuration you get and neither RAM nor storage are upgradeable.

In terms of I/O ports, you get a single USB-C port for charging and data transfer, one USB 3.0 Type A, and one USB 2.0 Type A; one HDMI port and one 3.5mm headphone jack.

The laptop has four speakers, two on the sides of the keyboard, and two at the bottom. It supports Dolby Atmos, the laptop is capable of supporting 3D surround sound – impressive for a compact device.

There’s a 57.6Wh battery powering the laptop, and has fast charging support of up to 65W via USB C. The charging adapter comes in the box and can be used to power your mobile devices too.

The HONOR MagicBook ships with Windows 10 and supports Magic-Link 2.0 that lets you transfer data between your Huawei and HONOR devices (Android 10) wirelessly.

You can purchase the laptop at HONOR’s official
online
 and
Shopee

stores; or via retail partners

HONOR MagicBook (AMD Ryzen 5 3500U) Review: Affordable, silent, and powerful

1K

During a product presentation in Barcelona last month, HONOR released the latest iteration of their
MagicBook
 laptop. It was due to debut at the annual Mobile World Conference, but the event was cancelled because of the pandemic.

Unfortunately, this is not that laptop – the HONOR MagicBook we’re reviewing today is the first-generation model that was introduced back in 2018. The only difference this time is that it’s been refreshed with an AMD Ryzen 5 CPU with Radeon graphics.

This also means that the laptop won’t get a pop-up webcam like the newer model and won’t have the Azure Blue Chamfer design that was a stand-out feature.

I’m mentioning the looks because the first-generation
MagicBook
 doesn’t have a lot going for it – it’s not a premium device and i’ts relatively basic; but you know what? That’s actually a good thing because it gets the basics right!

The device itself feels sturdy and isn’t too heavy – it weighs around 1.45KG and is 0.62-inches in thickness. Although the laptop is easy to carry around, the metallic finish is easily scratchable, so you have to be careful about treating the laptop too rough.

When you open up the laptop, you’ll be greeted with a premium-looking 14-inch FHD display with an anti-glare coating. It pushes a 157ppi pixel density that looks great at max brightness. Speaking of – the display is a little dim, so outdoor usage can be bothersome under direct sunlight.

The tone reproduction of the display is a little warmer than I would’ve liked, but a little bit of tweaking with the software of your choice can easily fix that.

Next up, the keyboard here is backlit with white lighting, and there are three brightness settings – at its maximum, it shines well-enough in the dark, but I’ve seen brighter backlights. Perhaps this is a battery-saving measure taken by HONOR. The keys are almost flush to the panel, and it stays silent making it suitable for the office setting.

On top of that, it actually feels quite good to type on. I bottom out my key presses and I get a satisfying tactile click with every key stroke. It feels mushier than some laptop keyboards I’ve experienced, but my spelling accuracy is great on this.

The webcam on this laptop is a 1MP shooter that, although isn’t the greatest, delivers clear enough images and audio for video conferencing.

https://klgadgetguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/WIN_20200409_14_30_42_Pro.mp4

The touch pad at the bottom is simple and sizeable – its texture is smooth and detects my gestures with no problems. A left click can be registered in the middle of the touch pad as well as the bottom left. I haven’t had any issues with this and it works as well as any touchpad.

For audio, you get two upward-facing speakers on the sides of your keyboard, and two more speakers at the bottom. Thanks to Dolby Atmos, the laptop is able to create a surround-sound like audio quality that has impressive depth for a laptop as small as this. You also get crisp highs and
mids
, but the bass suffers quite a bit. Regardless, Netflix binging on this laptop is fine and I can hear dialogue clearly.  The laptop does come with a 3.5mm headphone jack too so you can plug in your audio gear if you want.

On top of that, you also get a respectable array of I/O ports – one USB 2.0 Type A port, one USB 3.0 Type A port, one USB-C port for charging and data transfer, one HDMI port and one 3.5mm headphone jack. With Bluetooth peripherals now becoming the norm, the amount of ports provided here should be adequate.

Moving on, let’s talk about performance – the laptop is equipped with an AMD Ryzen 3500U CPU which has Radeon Vega 8 integrated graphics. The CPU has a base clock of 2.1GHz and can be boosted to 3.7GHz when under heavy load. You get 8GB DDR4 2400MHz RAM alongside 520GB of PCIe SSD storage – this is the configuration you get. Do keep in mind that you’ll be unable to upgrade either one.

With the SSD, the laptop boots up quickly and programs open up in no time; multitasking with the laptop is a breeze too. The laptop is also able to handle light to medium editing work for videos and photos.

The HONOR
MagicBook
 is by no means a gaming laptop, but if you really need to get in game or two it’ll do
do
 fine especially with the Radeon Vega 8 graphics. E-sports titles can run at 1080p on low-medium settings while getting a steady 60FPS on average; I tested out
Dota
 2 and used the second lowest graphics preset and achieved over 60FPS with
occasional
 dips into the 50s while at 1080p resolution. The laptop does get toasty after about an hour of gaming, but then again this isn’t a gaming laptop.

But speaking of thermals, on regular usage, you won’t feel any heat on the palm rests; plus, the fans are very quiet. Driving home the point that this laptop is made for the office and classroom environment.

Furthermore, the laptop boasts impressive battery life as well – its 57.4Wh battery allowed me about 8 hours of work, media consumption, and social media scrolling. On top of that, the 62W USB Type-C power adapter that comes with the laptop can fully power the device in about an hour and a half from 20%.

In terms of features, Magic-link lets you quickly share files from a compatible Huawei or HONOR device with Android 10, all with a single tap. The laptop’s power button also doubles as a fingerprint reader that allows biometric log in. It works as expected with dry fingers – if it’s wet, you’ll have a 50% success rate, which is pretty normal. Then there’s the pre-loaded PC Manager software that lets you monitor resource usage, hardware status as well manage drivers – I found this to be a useful one-stop software to keep on top of how the device is doing.

Verdict

The HONOR
MagicBook
 is an impressive device that gets all the basics right – it’s built sturdily, has great performance, remains quiet, and has a long battery life. The impressive display and audio quality
make
 media consumption enjoyable too.

Despite not having upgradable RAM and storage, you’re getting more than enough for regular usage, plus one or two e-sports game titles installed. It comes pre-loaded with Windows 10, but with no licensed access to Microsoft Office. However, you can always use the free cloud-based versions of the software such as Microsoft OneDrive, or Google Drive to get your work done.

For RM2,299, the laptop is well worth it for those who’re looking for something for work or school.
 You can purchase the laptop via HONOR’s
online store
 or on their official
Shopee
 page.

HONOR Malaysia is set to introduce a ultra-tough curved OLED display phone

8K

HONOR Malaysia has teased the arrival of the HONOR X9a 5G smartphone, which will succeed the tough and robust HONOR X9 5G that was released this year, the company has also claimed that the phone will be equipped with an ‘ultra-tough’ curved OLED display, which should pique some interest to those looking for an affordable mid-range with such a display.

Curved OLED displays have long been a reliability issue as it can easily crack from just an accidental bump, while most phones with such screens have poor palm rejection software.

The HONOR X9a 5G aims to resolve that with an AI anti-mistouch algorithm, while it adopts a 0.65mm Super Reinforced glass on display for better drop resistance, the company claims that it has excelled in 33 different drop tests including simulated marble and concrete floor drops, which sounds pretty impressive.

While that’s pretty much the information we have right now, speculations have pointed that this could be an international version of the HONOR X40 5G that was recently released in China, which is expected to feature a Snapdragon 695 chipset, a 6.67-inch 120Hz OLED display, a dual camera setup that comprises a 50MP main and 2MP portrait lens, a 5100mAh battery with support for 40W fast charging.

Meanwhile, do check out the video below to find out how we stress tested the HONOR X9 5G and X8 this year.

Honor might be revealing the Honor View 20 with the Kirin 980 processor

294

It seems like Honor is not quite done with this year, because after the launch of Honor 8X and Honor Magic 2, there is a new Honor smartphone that has received China’s 3C and CMIIT certificate, which many believe to be the successor to the Honor View 10, the Honor View 20.

As the Honor View 10 was released around the same time last year, it is highly likely that the new smartphone from Honor might be the Honor View 20, and it is expected to feature an IPS LCD Full HD+ display with a waterdrop notch. Other assumptions include the smartphone being powered by the HiSilicon Kirin 980 processor and a 6/8GB RAM.

Aside from that, because Honor has been introducing triple-camera setup on its recent smartphones, it is believed that Honor View 20 might have the same camera setup with two 16MP lens and one 24MP lens, whereas the front will be a single lens camera. Reports also suggest that the Honor View 20 will come with a 3500mAh battery that supports fast charging.

The expected release date of Honor View 20 could be as early as this month itself, so we’ll be updated when there’s more information of the new smartphone from Honor.

HONOR to launch a Huawei nova 8 SE re-badge with 66W fast charging

319

Reports are suggesting that HONOR is about to re-badge the
Huawei nova 8 SE
, meaning it brings with it the super-fast 66W of fast charging capability.

The device with the model number HJC-AN00 was seen on the TENAA listings and packs a 6.53-inch display as well as a MediaTek
Dimensity
 800 chipset, which is better than the nova 8 SE’s
Dimensity
 720. The phone has a relatively small 3,800mAh pack, so perhaps that 66W charger may be overkill for a battery this size.

The nova 8 SE has a 64MP quad-camera setup with
a
 FHD+ display. It’s not sure what its HONOR counterpart will pack, but there’s
always
 a chance they may
pack
 the phone with an even better camera system.

The Huawei nova 8 SE costs 2,599 Yuan, so we can expect the HONOR version to cost a bit less. In any case, we’re always happy to see mid-ranges arrive in the market because they usually offer a nice sweet spot in price and hardware – the nova 8 SE is one such phone, so definitely high hopes for the upcoming
HONOR
 device.

322

While we’re very much anticipating for the HONOR View 20, let’s not forget about the HONOR 10 Lite that will arrive earlier than the View 20 in January 2019.

The HONOR 10 Lite will be launching on 8 January 2019 in Malaysia and can be bought officially on HONOR’s official site
hihonor.com/my
 and also the official store on
Lazada
 on 9 January 2019.

The HONOR 10 Lite has a 6.21-inch FullHD+ display with a dewdrop notch and a microUSB port. It has a fingerprint sensor on its gradient back, and the phone sports a 3D curved rear design.

The phone also sports a Kirin 710 processor and 3GB RAM with 32/64GB storage as seen in Lazada, but leaks have suggested that it will support up to 6GB RAM. In addition, the Honor 10 Lite will run on EMUI 9.0 based on Android 9.

The dewdrop notch houses a 24MP AI selfie camera while the rear cameras consist of 13MP+2MP lenses, in which the 13MP sensor comes with f/1.8 aperture whereas the 2MP lens work as a depth sensor.

Battery wise, the phone holds a 3400mAh battery that charges with a microUSB port.

While we’ve already uncover most of the phone’s specs, the only thing that we’re waiting for is the pricing which will be revealed at its launch on 8 January 2019.

Honor offers flagship quality without the fancy price tag

260

The term “cheap and good” is hardly uttered these days since these two adjectives just don’t seem to like each other enough to stick together. So whenever something “cheap and good” comes about, it is almost as good as winning the lottery. Well, almost.

Anyway, the latest device from honor is just that. Cheap and good. This doesn’t mean that the quality is compromised, even when the price is made affordable. In fact, the honor 5C has premium flagship features and build, just like what you would find in a flagship device, sans the sky-high price. Crafted with aircraft-grade aluminum-alloy body and brushed metal effect finishing, the honor 5C exudes class and functionality, with a build that aims to last.

So, what does it mean for a device to be “built to last”? The honor 5C is not just simply slapped together, but was made according to Huawei’s stringent 3.1 quality assurance standards. In fact, the honor 5C was put through some pretty extreme tests to identify quality defects. For instance, not only was the drop test done at the usual 1m and 1.2m heights, the honor 5C was dropped at another 1.5m higher on top of that. In addition to a drop test, the honor 5C experienced a 130g/32mm steel ball impact test, 20,000 times port durability test, temperature and humidity test, rapid temperature changes thermal shock test, and even salt spray test for 24 hours instead of previous 8 hours. These over-the-top tests proves that Huawei takes quality control seriously in order to churn out a device that is well worth your dollar.

Building a phone to last is more than just focusing on the quality of the device. Aftersales plays a great part in making sure your device is always in top condition and any problems are nip in the bud. To honor Malaysia, aftersales service is a key component in its business offering, with customer service and customer experience being an integral part of device ownership. To cater to your needs, Huawei launched its first Exclusive Service Centre at Plaza Berjaya, Kuala Lumpur last year. This centre goes beyond providing a place for you to send in your device for repairs, but also serves as a direct communication between honor and you.

The best thing offer honor offers is a 1-to-1 exchange policy for the first 6 months from purchase date. Of course there will be terms and conditions to adhere to, but how many brands actually offer a 1-to-1 exchange? To top it off, honor even offers a door-step delivery service so you don’t even need to waste time to pick it up from the service centre.


HONOR offers price cuts and free gifts during their year-end sales

HONOR Play 4 series set to launch with IR temperature sensor

278

HONOR’s next devices are set to be the HONOR Play 4 and the Play 4 Pro; what’s interesting about the phones this time is the inclusion of an IR temperature sensor — meaning you can measure your body temperature just by using the phone. The HONOR Play 4 series will be launching tomorrow, but here are some specifications that have already been leaked.

HONOR Play 4

Although it’s the vanilla variant, the Play 4 is reported to come with a bigger LCD display than the Play 4 Pro. It’ll be featuring a 6.81-inch LCD display and house a 16MP camera. On its rear, it’ll be featuring a 64MP camera paired with an 8MP lens and two 2MP lenses. Other details remain unrevealed.

HONOR Play 4 Pro

Image credit: JD.com

Surprisingly, the Play 4 Pro comes with a 6.57-inch display, making it a smaller display than the vanilla model. It’ll also be skipping on the quad-camera setup, but it’ll instead be equipped with a 40MP + 8MP dual rear camera setup. It’ll also be sporting a 32MP lens and another 8MP camera on its front.

Under the hood, the HONOR Play 4 Pro is powered by a Kirin 990 chipset, has 8GB RAM and ships with Android 10. It’ll be a 5G phone that packs a 4,200mAh battery with 40W fast charging support. It’ll also be ditching the 3.5mm headphone jack, meaning you’ll need USB-C earphones to connect.

Why infrared temperature sensor?

https://klgadgetguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/0007EVmGgx07DIAShSmQ01041200o7Gq0E010.mp4

The current situation is making it a necessity for all individuals to get their body temperature checked no matter where they go. Instead of depending on a body temperature scanner, getting this feature on your phone will help you keep your body temperature in check, so you can quickly visit the clinic when you notice something’s off.

The infrared temperature sensor is also useable on other things; as demonstrated in the video above, it can be used to measure the temperature of other animals or even objects like ice cream.

HONOR Play 4T and Play 4T Pro are powerful budget phones that cost just above RM1,000

352

It’s been a busy month for HONOR what with the launch of their HONOR 9X Pro smartphone and the HONOR
MagicBook
 laptop – in its native China, they also released the HONOR 30S, which is basically the lower end variant of the series.

With so many devices
already  under
 their belt for the year, HONOR doesn’t plan on stopping anytime soon as they’ve also just announced the HONOR Play 4T and Play 4T Pro. The devices were launched in China – and as its name suggests, this is geared towards the gaming crowd, but it isn’t really marketed as one.

Image credit: GSMArena

The smartphones look a lot like the HONOR 30 series what with the rectangular camera bump at the back – the front however, sports a water drop-notch instead of a punch hole cutout. The HONOR Play 4T Pro is 6.3-inch device with an AMOLED FHD+ screen, while the vanilla HONOR Play 4T
coems
 in a smaller 6.3-inch chassis with an IPS LCD HD+ panel instead.

Under the hood, the Pro variant is equipped with a Kirin 810 chipset with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. The regular Play 4T comes with a Kirin 710A chipset with 6GB RAM and the same storage capacity.

Image credit: GSMArena

The last HONOR Play phone was, of course, the very first one; and that packed a Kirin 970 chipset – a flagship processor at the time. Since then, the Kirin 810 SoC on the Play 4T Pro is leaps and bounds better than in every aspect. Benchmarks show 38% better AnTuTu scores, a higher GPU clock frequency and much better battery life.

The Kirin 710 on the regular HONOR Play 4T, however, doesn’t hold a light to the Kirin 970 – the latter edges out the former in every department, except the Kirin 710 has a higher clocked GPU. So, if you’re going to pick either one of these phones, I’d recommend you go for the Play 4T Pro.

Imaging isn’t going to be the biggest selling point for the HONOR Play 4T series, but it still comes with a respectable set of lenses – the Pro variant has a 48MP main lens, an 8MP ultrawide unit and a 2MP depth sensor; meanwhile, the regular Play 4T ditches the 8MP ultrawide lens and retains the other two lenses.

Both smartphones come with a 4,000mAh battery, but only the Pro variant supports fast charging of up to 22.5W; the regular version only supports regular charging, which should be at 10W.

The HONOR Play 4T is priced at CNY1,199 (RM735) while the Play 4T Pro will cost CNY1,499 (RM920) for the 6GB RAM version, and CNY 1,699 (RM1,042) for the 8GB RAM option. The phones will go on sale later this month; however, there’s no word on the local pricing and availability yet, but stick around as we bring you more updates as they come.

332

It comes in a solid unibody design that has a very solid feel in your hand. Other than that, I come with a Kirin 970 processor that is boosted with their GPU Turbo technology, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. Powering the device is a 3750mAh battery which can last a day even when playing games.

The feature that stands out is the 4D Gaming Experience which has AI real-time image and audio recognition which will vibrate and alert you to the direction of approaching enemies as well as gunfire, however, this feature is only available for PUBG Mobile for now. The phone will vibrate according to the direction of the action to give you a more immersive feel when gaming. Other than that, it comes with 3D Surround Sound which compliments the 4D Smart Shock system and can be used with both wired earphones and headphones.

In the photography department, it comes with a 16MP+2MP rear-camera which has the AI Scene Recognition and can recognize 500+ scenarios in 22 categories. It also has 3D Portrait lighting which allows you to adjust the lighting after taking a shot and AI Portrait Mode to give you a better Bokeh effect with your selfies.

Honor Play will have Huawei’s “Breakthrough Technology” inside, launches 6th June 2018

396

Apparently, Huawei has an “upcoming breakthrough technology” that was rumoured to be in an Honor phone. It looks like that might actually be true, Honor has sent out a save-the-date for its Honor Play which is said to come with mentioned breakthrough technology.

The phone is said to come with groundbreaking 4D gaming experience based on AI as well as their signature AI cameras. Up until now, no one knows what this breakthrough technology is and whether it is software or hardware based, but Chairman of Huawei Device, Yu Chengdong, has described the technology to be as different as “running on the ground and flying in the sky”. A pretty bold statement, we assume this has probably something to do with their software or their new Kirin processors.

Huawei will be showcasing their new technology in an event that is taking place today, we should know more about technology this in the next few days. It is also surprising that we are seeing a breakthrough technology in an Honor phone, as Huawei and Honor always seem to be competing with each other, rather than against the competition.

HONOR’s new AI-powered app “PocketVision” is built to help the visually impaired

357

HONOR has launched PocketVision, an AI-powered app that caters to the visually impaired by providing assistance in reading on their smartphones.

With the help of AI and the quad camera technology that is found in the HONOR 20 and HONOR 20 Pro, the company created PocketVision so that the visually impaired have an alternative when it comes to getting tools to enhance their reading experience. Instead of magnifiers and typoscopes, they can now depend on their smartphones because the app itself is an alternative to these assistive tools.

PocketVision has three key modes: Text-to-Speech Mode, Zoom-In Mode and Negative Image Mode. The Text-to-Speech Mode uses HONOR HiAI and Optical Character Recognition in which the conversion of pictures-to-texts is more efficient, leading to better text narration. The second mode takes advantage of the HONOR 20 Pro’s 48MP lens and 8MP lens for a clearer image through zooming, so that even the tiniest texts can be readable. The last mode offers various colour filters so that those who have problem with viewing certain colours can use the app to overcome their issues.

The PocketVision app can be downloaded on HUAWEI AppGallery and while firstly launched on the HONOR 20 and HONOR 20 Pro, it is also supported by HUAWEI and HONOR smartphones that has a Kirin 980 chipset.

Honor says its Magic 4 smartphone is a ‘pain point killer’

931

After breaking up with Huawei, Honor has finally unveiled its very first flagship smartphone at Mobile World Congress 2022, the Honor Magic 4 series are what CEO George Zhao calls it the ‘pain point killer’, as it resolves several issues that most current flagship phones still possess.

Comprising the Honor Magic 4 and Magic 4 Pro, these phones are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and will come with the same storage configuration of 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, Honor has also incorporated technologies such as Honor Turbo Engine, Honor OS Turbo X and GPU Turbo X optimizations that maximizes the chip’s performance and deliver better gaming performance than the competition.

Sporting a 6.81-inch LTPO Quad-curved display, the Honor Magic 4 Pro’s display has an adaptive refresh rate from 1Hz to 120Hz, it produces over 1 billion colors and covers 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, hence it is capable of playing HDR10+ content.

The Honor Magic 4 Pro is IP68 water resistant and the regular Magic 4 is IP54 rated, which is the first time that Honor has included on its smartphones. In terms of cameras, both phones will come with a triple camera system, the Magic 4 Pro has  a 50MP wide, 50MP ultrawide, and 64MP periscope telephoto lens that achieves 3.5x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom, while the Magic 4 only differs in a lower resolution 8MP periscope telephoto lens that does 5x optical zoom and 50x digital zoom.

Front camera wise, they both come with 12MP shooters with the exception of an extra 3D depth camera on the Magic 4 Pro.

Videography is also a big thing on the Honor Magic 4 Pro as the company claims that it captures higher video quality than the others with its Dual Chain Computational Photography and Videography Algorithm, this is also the first smartphone that can capture 10-bit Log 4K video in 60fps, which allows content creators to do post color grading.

Battery life should be pretty good with a 4600mAh battery that can be juiced up in no time with 100W Wired Honor SuperCharge, which Honor claims a mere 30 minutes to fully charge the phone.

The Honor Magic 4 series will ship with Android 12 and Magic UI 6.0, availability will begin on Q2 2022 onwards while they will be available in color options of Cyan and Gold when it arrives in Malaysia

Honor teases the arrival of Crush Red Honor View 10 (Update: Availability)

368

The Honor View 10 can be considered as the best alternative to the Huawei Mate 10 Pro, sporting the very same 5.99-inch FullView display, Kirin 970 SoC with AI, 6GB RAM and 128GB storage, the phone retails RM1000 cheaper than its flagship counterpart while opting for a metal body and a non-Leica branded dual camera system. If you have been looking for a new smartphone to welcome this Chinese New Year or celebrate Valentines Day, Honor has announced that Malaysia will be the first country to receive the Crush Red color variant of the Honor View 10 on mid-February, no exact date has been mentioned yet, but we are certain that Honor would probably rush to have it in by February 14.

Priced officially at RM2,099, the Honor View 10 comes with lots of great software features over the Mate 10 Pro, such as having support for Facial Unlock, storage expansion and a headphone jack. While the camera sensors may not be as compelling as the Mate 10 Pro’s f/1.6 Leica lens, the camera software on the other hand features some fun modes such as the AR Lens, which is able to apply stickers on to faces when detected, and a 3D panorama feature that lets you shoot live moving panoramas. Unlike the previous Honor flagship, the Honor View 10 now supports Huawei’s Super Charging protocol and has a 3750mAh battery that offers close to two days of battery life.

If you are lucky, you might be able to find certain online retailers selling the Honor View 10 for less than RM1900 at this time, so all you need to do is to head on over to 11street and Lazada to find out.

Update 5/2/2018: Honor Malaysia has revealed that the Crush Red Honor View 10 will be available from February 8 onwards over at www.vmall.my

Honor teases Marshmallow for Honor 5X on Twitter

352

The adoption rate for Android Marshmallow has been slowly improving, but only by a tiny fraction. Many of the latest devices out there, including handsets which were just launched this month, are still rocking Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, with Lollipop being introduced by Google nearly two years ago. A device that has also fallen prey to this phenomenon is the budget Honor 5X by Honor, a sub-brand of Huawei.

Honor has finally teased Marshmallow for the Honor 5X, on their Twitter account:

“It’s sweet, It’s fluffy. And it’s coming soon to Honor 5x. #YouReady?

With it’s price point below the RM 1,000 mark, the Honor 5X comes a metal unibody and a brushed aluminium backing. It sports a 5.5-inch full HD display, a Snapdragon 616 SoC alongside 2 or 3GB of RAM, a standard camera pair of 13MP and 5MP and a 3,000mAh battery with a rear fingerprint sensor. As attractive as the entire package may sound, the Honor 5X only came with Android Lollipop, which can be a deal breaker for some, given the fact that it was recently introduced at CES earlier this year. What do you think?

The company is using AI technology to bring some interesting features to the phone like Motion Detection which will eliminate blur in photos by predicting the motion of the subject.

Other than that, there is also a 3D Facial Animation which is similar to what the iPhone has with Animoji and 3D Small Object Reconstruction which can construct a 3D model of small objects that the camera scans.

HONOR to launch three devices on 20th July

7.2K

As you may already know, HONOR Malaysia is set to launch the HONOR 90 in two more days, and it is hyping up the event even more by teasing two more devices to be launched in conjunction with the HONOR 90, these two devices are the HONOR 90 Lite and HONOR Pad X9.

The HONOR 90 is the next major device launch by the company here, powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 Accelerated Edition, it features a 6.7-inch OLED display with an ultra-high 3840Hz frequency PWM dimming display that eliminates eye strain and headache, a SuperSensing 200-megapixel camera, a large 5000mAh battery with 66W HONOR SuperCharge, and up to 512GB of storage.

The HONOR 90 Lite is obviously a lower end version of the above, though it will feature the same 6.7-inch display size, it uses a 90Hz IPS panel instead of OLED, the phone is powered by a lower end Mediatek Dimensity 6020 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage, its main camera resolution has also been halved to 100-megapixel and is assisted by an 8-megapixel ultrawide and a 2-megapixel macro camera, the phone’s battery is a 4500mAh cell and supports 35W wired fast charging.

As for the HONOR Pad X9, it is a mid-range tablet that replaces the current HONOR Pad X8, it sports a 11.5-inch display that pushes 2000×1200 resolution and refreshes at 120Hz, a Snapdragon 682 processor and a six-speaker system, which is one exciting device to look out for.

More details of these devices will be unveiled on 20th July 2023, 8PM, where you can catch the livestream at HONOR Malaysia’s Facebook page, head

Honor to reveal upcoming AI beauty smartphone on May 15

368

Huawei’s subsidiary Honor has always been the cheaper alternative to its parent company’s lineup of premium smartphones. Last year’s Honor 9 flagship had specs resembling the Huawei P10, with the only notable difference being the absence of the Leica branding on its cameras. Honor has already launched a couple of full screen smartphones, and it looks like another one is on its way.

Since the Huawei P20 has been launched, it does make a lot of sense to expect the Honor 10 based on the media invite for the May 15 launch event as seen above. Honor also teased “beauty in AI”, which translates to AI camera capabilities currently existing on Huawei’s Mate 10 and P20 handsets. Whether or not the Honor 10 will feature 3 cameras in total like the P20 Pro remains to be seen.

Honor has been making strides previously with the Honor 8 and Honor 9 taking no prisoners. We can expect the Honor 10 to be just as impressive if not better than its predecessors. One thing we can almost be certain about is that the Honor 10 will be powered by Huawei’s own Kirin 970 AI processor, which has proven to pack a punch.

Time too will tell if the May 15 launch event is indeed of the Honor 10, given that the Honor 9 was unveiled in June last year. Let’s hope we see some of the Huawei P20 features in the Honor 10

Honor V10 debuts in China with Huawei’s high end Kirin 970 chip

357

Now that Huawei has launched its flagships of the year, the focus shifts to its subsidiary company Honor, which has had the Honor V10 in the pipeline for quite some time now. The handset has finally unveiled itself in China, featuring some notably excellent specs at an affordable price tag.

First off, the Honor V10 comes in an aluminium build, with the lack of wireless charging support just like the rest of Huawei’s devices. The 5.99-inch FullView display on the front does not come as a surprise since the V10 is indeed a flagship smartphone. It is however not exactly bezel-less as Honor has decided to make space for a front fingerprint sensor below the display.

Underneath the hood sits Huawei’s best processor to date – the Kirin 970 chipset with AI capabilities. It comes in either 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of expandable storage depending on which variant you opt for. Honor’s smartphones do not carry the Leica branding forward as seen on Huawei’s flagships, but still remain impressive nonetheless. The rear camera setup consists of 16MP + 20MP sensors, along with new AI features such as object recognition thanks to the Kirin 970. It comes with a 13MP selfie shooter on the front which will be responsible for its newly introduced facial recognition tech as well.

Unlike the Huawei Mate 10 however, the Honor V10 does not feature water resistance of any sort, which might explain its relatively cheaper price tag. It packs a 3,750mAh battery with fast charging and still retains the 3.5 mm headphone jack. The phone runs on Android 8.0 Oreo with EMUI on top, which is good to see from a late 2017 smartphone.

The Honor V10 carries a price tag starting from CNY 2,699 (RM 1,675.41), which makes it a super affordable flagship smartphone to purchase. It will likely launch globally under the Honor 9 Pro moniker in the future.

Honor V10 leaks before launch in China

276

Hats off to Huawei for impressing the world throughout 2017. There was even an instance when the company overtook Apple to be the second largest smartphone manufacturer worldwide. The Chinese company unveiled the Honor 7X under the Honor subsidiary earlier this week, and the company is not done just yet, with another impending launch next week.

Honor has a launch event coming up on November 28 for the Honor V10. It will succeed the Honor V9, which is also known as the Honor 8 Pro outside of China. Hence it is likely that the Honor V10 will be called the Honor 9 Pro globally. Just 5 days before its launch, the phone has been leaked in its full glory, showcasing an attractive chassis with a bezel-less display on the front.

The Honor V9 was an impressive phone, sporting a QHD display, Huawei’s then flagship Kirin 960 chipset with 6GB of RAM, all for an affordable price tag. The Honor V10 is expected to feature a QHD+ resolution display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The top performing Kirin 970 is rumored to be powering the handset. It will also pack a dual camera setup of 20MP + 16MP.

It is hard to tell from the image whether the Honor V10 will have a glass or metal body. It will likely be of the latter to keep costs low, which also translates to the absence of wireless charging. Keep an eye out next week!

Honor V10 TENAA listing leaked, comes with Kirin 970 and EMUI 8.0

284

Honor is expected to launch the V10 in China on November 28 with the global launch taking place in London several days later and the device will follow the 18:9 display trend that has become popular this year. Thanks to a TENAA listing, we now have the full specs of the phone.

Based on the listing, it will come with a 5.99-inch FHD+ screen, the latest Kirin 970 6GB of RAM and a 64GB of 128GB variant for the internal storage. On the rear is a dual-camera setup with a 16MP + 20MP sensors and the front is a 13MP camera. It is expected to come with EMUI 8 which debuted on the Mate 10 phones alongside an Android Oreo out-of-the-box as the EMUI is based on Android Oreo. Some of you might also be happy to know that it will come with a headphone jack at the bottom, a feature that is slowly becoming scars in the mobile world.

That is all the details that were extracted from the listing, but as for the full specs and features, we will have to wait next week for the unveiling of the phone. It is also said to come with a price tag of CNY2,999 (RM1876.28).

HONOR V30 to launch in China – comes with Kirin 990 and supports 5G connectivity

300

We’re in the advent of 5G-ready devices already – we’ve seen the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S10+, OPPO Reno 10x Zoom, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 and more be upgraded to support the future of network connectivity.

Naturally, you’d expect more brands to be hot on the tails of those already in the game – one of these brands is HONOR. The company’s president Zhao Ming confirmed that the new HONOR V30 will be launched in China soon and will come with 5G support out of the box.

When the phone hits Malaysian markets of course, it will be called the HONOR View30. But GSM Arena notes that it is unsure if the models outside of China will continue to offer 5G support, but given it’s slated late-2019 release date, we reckon it will.

Also considering the recent introduction of the Kirin 990 chipset that’s equipped with the Balong 5000 modem, GSM Arena notes that we will likely see it mark its appearance in the HONOR V30.

HONOR V40 could be the first to resume Google Mobile Services after HUAWEI ban

434

The HONOR V40’s launch is delayed to January 22 and
reports
 are suggesting that it’s because the smartphone will with shipped with Google Play Services.

HONOR greatly affected during HUAWEI ban

When HUAWEI was banned by the U.S. government back in May 2019, both HUAWEI and HONOR were affected as they could not do business with U.S. companies. In Malaysia, the
HONOR 9X Pro
 was the first HONOR phone to use HUAWEI Mobile Services instead of GMS.

HUAWEI finally sold off HONOR in 2020 so it can continue using GMS

However, HUAWEI
announced
 in November 2020 that the company will be selling off its HONOR business, allowing HONOR to finally run with GMS again. HONOR was already producing the V40 during the business sale, but it’s possible that the company managed to get the license right before the launch which is why it was delayed.

Expected HONOR V40 specs

The HONOR V40 is expected to launch with a 6.72-inch OLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. It will also be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ chip and come with 66W fast charging and 55W wireless charing. Based on the official poster, the upcoming 5G phone will have a quad camera setup paired with a dual-selfie camera. It’ll come in a curved display and will be available in three colour — blue, black and pink.

HONOR V40 confirmed to launch this January 18

395

HONOR
 V40 has reportedly been confirmed to arrive this 18 January, and the brand has unveiled the design of the device in a nice little teaser video shared onto their Weibo page.

With the former Huawei subsidiary now
separated
 from its parent company, it’ll be interesting what HONOR can do with the V40 flagship.

Based on the teaser, we can see a very sleek-looking device; it looks to have a large, curved display – with that said, it is reminiscent of the of the Huawei Mate 40 from last year; it
vene
 inherits the dual-selfie lens on the panel.

Despite the steep curves on the display, HONOR still manages to fit a physical power button and volume rocker.

As for how the back panel looks like, there has been
rumours
 suggesting it’ll look a lot like the Huawei Nova 8 Pro – a familiar rectangle camera bump with four lenses, one large sensor sitting above three smaller sensors and a flash.

Under the hood, reports also say that the phone will pack a
Dimensity
 1000+ SoC with support for 120Hz display. The phone will possibly support up to 66W of wired fast charging and up to 50W of wireless charging.

Regardless, we’ll know more about the phone when it’s due to launch this 18 January, so stay tuned on our page as we bring you coverage of the phone’s arrival.

HONOR V40 series confirmed to launch with 66W fast charging support

347

The HONOR V40 series that is launching in 2021 has been revealed to come in three models, and all three should support 66W fast charging.

HONOR upgrades from 40W to 66W fast charging

MySmartPrice
 has found through a 3C certification website that the HONOR phones will sport 66W wired fast charging which is a significant improvement as compared to the previous models that come with 40W fast charging. Each device will feature a curved display with 140Hz refresh rate, and we should see a pill-shaped camera cutout for dual front cameras.

HONOR V40 may be inspired by the Mate 40 series

Leaks have suggested that the V40 series will share some similarities with the
HUAWEI Mate 40 series
, including the 50MP cameras that we’ve seen on the Mate 40 series, including the 50MP cameras and the Kirin 9000 chipset. However, the V40 Pro+ may use a MediaTek Dimensity 1000+ instead.

Perhaps this is HONOR’s way of
saying goodbye to HUAWEI
; the Chinese tech giant recently announced that HONOR will be sold off to Shenzhen Zhixin New Information Technology Co., Ltd. This decision will probably allow HONOR to include Google apps in its future phones.

Honor V8 goes through TENAA, specs exposed

357

Huawei has just recently teased the Honor V8, which is set to feature a dual-camera setup. The handset has just passed through TENAA, a Chinese regulation website, letting out some key specs in the process.

For starters, there are a couple of variants on the TENAA site – KNT-TL10, KNT-AL10 and KNT-AL20 being the model numbers for the variants. Both the TL10 and the AL10 sport the same specs while the AL20 variant has its specs bumped up from the former. The TL10 and AL10 models sport a 5.7-inch display at 1080p. They are powered by Huawei’s farm-fed HiSilicon Kirin 950 processor, the same chip featured in the Huawei Mate 8, alongside 4GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. The AL20 variant, which we think will be dubbed the Honor V8 Plus, has a QHD display of the same size, a slightly more powerful Kirin 955 processor like in the P9 and P9 Plus, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

As teased by Huawei earlier, all three variants feature a dual 12MP rear camera setup, with an 8MP front facing shooter. They come packed with a 3,400mAh battery and a rear fingerprint sensor. The Honor V8 series will be shipped running Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, which is a relieve for Android. Meanwhile, we’re looking forward to the launch event for the Honor V8 two weeks from now on the 10th of May!

Honor View10 latest update enables EIS and thermal optimizations

370

The Honor View10 was released to rival the Mate 10 devices, it did not do so well when it came to its cameras, but everything else from responsiveness to performance is on par. A new update might help in its camera department and other rather useful features as well.

The update has been rolled out in India and brings about, Electronic Image Stabilization, call recording, thermal optimizations and Ride mode. EIS was added due to user feedback where they would like to see some form of stabilization, as the phone does not have OIS. Many users were disappointed with the shaky and blur images that were displayed especially when they were recording a video. The Honor 10 recent update also brought along EIS, a feature that should have come with the phone on release.

In the changelog, Honor stated there is a thermal optimization, but they did not go into detail on how this feature works, but one can assume it probably has something to do with optimizing the processor which can, in turn, produce less heat. Lastly, is Ride Mode which is mainly for users that ride bikes, giving them an easier interface to interact with.
