Honor 100 series premiers Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset

With Black Friday about to begin in the United States, Chinese customers had a very busy day, as at least three phone makers introduced new products today: Oppo, ZTE and Honor.

Unlike Reno11 and Red Magic 9 Pro, Honor 100 is a mid-range smartphone powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor. In addition to this, the base Honor 100 and the upgraded model, Honor 100 Pro, are equipped with a tailor-made RF C1 chip that promises better calls even in areas with weak signal reception.

The vanilla Honor 100 sports a large 6.7-inch OLED display with an under-display fingerprint sensor and houses a large 50-megapixel selfie sensor. On the back, the mid-range phone packs a dual camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel Sony IMX906 sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization) and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera.

The phone is powered by a massive 5,000mAh battery and comes with MagicOS 7.2 based on Android 13 right out of the box. The phone is now available for purchase in China in four different colors: black, blue, purple and white, for just $350 (12/256 GB model).

On the other hand, the honor 100 pro is the new flagship of the company. Equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor coupled with 12/256 GB or 16/1 TB storage, the honor 100 pro is a real beast when it comes to performance.

The new Honor flagship comes with a 6.78-inch OLED display and a triple camera setup: 50-megapixel main sensor, 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera, 32-megapixel telephoto lens.

Just like the base model, the Honor 100 Pro is powered by a large 5,000mAh battery with support for 100W fast charging, as well as 66W wireless charging support.

Honor is now selling the 100 Pro in China for $480 for the 12/256GB model or $620 for the 16/1TB variant. The phone comes in four different colors: black, blue, purple, and white.
