The situation of Honor, Which by poco split from Huawei, it was not immediately plain sailing. The forecasts of some analysts confirmed that 2021 will be a hell of a year for the company. But she does not give up and indeed, a few months after the "divorce" (if we can call it that) from the parent company, she announces exclusively TencentNews which is ready to release its first flagship. In fact, it will be the first top-of-the-range smartphone with a “brand new” chip. But what are we talking about? Of a device with Snapdragon 888. Let's go see what we know about him.
The first Honor with Snapdragon 888, or the first top of the range since the company split with Huawei, will arrive in July
It was January when Honor launched another flagship smartphone, namely the V40. This should arrive in Europe under another name, but until today we have no definite news. Yesterday it seems that the company has confirmed to the Chinese media that he also intends to move on another path. Basically, in addition to producing flagships with SoC MediaTek (such as the V40) it will lean on Qualcomm. Indeed already in January there were rumors of the possibility of a partnership between the two companies, and in fact here is the confirmation.
“Except for surprises this time Honor will use Qualcomm's latest flagship chip, the Snapdragon 888, ″ Tencent News said, citing an inside source. At the moment, however, no news has been leaked about the technical of this new device. What is certain is that the new device will be super flagship that will be positioned higher than the previous series.
Much has previously been said about the existence of new series called Magix X, Eva and Mega. One of them by the way should be a folding. Could he be the smartphone we are talking about? Some think it is, but in reality we think not. The reason is obvious: Honor must reaffirm its presence and can only do it with competitive products. THE foldables have no market and won't have it until at least next year.
