Honor X50 Hands-on Review: Roll out to a New Height and Accurately Solve User Pain Points

I have to say that the mobile phone market in recent years is really rolled, and the thousand-yuan machine market is even worse. In the thousand-dollar market, the most voluted should be the honorable X series. Let's simply go backwards: the Honor X40, which brings a hardcore curved screen; Honor X10, setting off a 5G storm; Honor 9X, bringing the trendy lifting camera of the time... It can be said that Honor's X series is constantly leapfrogging, breaking conventions, and reconstructing the experience of a thousand-yuan machine.

At the beginning of this month, Honor brought the Honor X series to the pinnacle of ten years - the Honor X50. This phone has been strengthened again in terms of appearance and experience, further improving the gear experience. So, how does the Honor X50 perform? Let's take a look together.

Ten sides are resistant to falling, solving the pain points of daily machine use

First of all, ask everyone, what will you change your phone for? I believe that many people's answer is that the phone dropped. Indeed, dropping mobile phones is very frequent and bad in our daily lives. In order to solve this pain point, the Honor X50 has made an ultimate breakthrough in fall resistance this time, realizing the ten-sided anti-fall effect of the whole machine on both sides, four sides and four corners. It pioneered the Taiji cushioning architecture, innovatively borrowed the technical principles of water conservancy engineering, and pioneered the dual innovation of "three enclosures" process and materials.

The Honor X50 first locally innovated cushioning materials at the narrow slit of the screen earpiece to strengthen and build a screen protection system; Secondly, wrap-around reinforcement is carried out around the screen, and the impact force is absorbed through its own deformation during the drop of the mobile phone; Finally, the internal voids are fully filled, and all the small components inside are firmly fixed. Coupled with the first patented low-modulus cushioning material, the internal void is controlled to the micron level. The Honor X50 can absorb 1.2 times the impact force when dropped, achieving a soft landing. Just like this, the Honor X50 is also the world's first product to obtain the five-star anti-fall and fall resistance of the Swiss SGS machine.

When the author used the Honor X50 in daily life, I also encountered several times of falling to the ground, and I was worried at first, but I was not afraid of falling to the ground at all. It can be said that with this function, the Honor X50 can really save the handicapped party.

1.5K ultra-clear hardcore eye protection curved screen to meet demanding needs

Next, let's talk about the screen performance of the Honor X50. Honor opened the curved screen revolution when the honor X40, this year's Honor X50 is naturally equipped with a curved screen design, which looks very strong in texture, and just got it and thought it was a flagship mobile phone.

After talking about the screen appearance, let's take a look at the screen parameters. The Honor X50 is equipped with a 6.78-inch 1.5K ultra-clear hardcore curved screen on the front, which supports color display, 1,000,000:1 screen contrast ratio, and supports 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut and cinematic wide color gamut, while supporting up to 120Hz refresh rate. The Honor X50 also brings 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, the streaks of the strobe are thinner, the screen flicker is reduced, and it can help alleviate visual fatigue and provide a better eye-protection dimming experience during daily use.

Not only that, the Honor X50 also realizes video quality enhancement and AI super resolution, the former is based on SDR2HDR algorithm technology, which can improve the color, contrast and dynamic range of the video picture, the latter uses AI super resolution technology to super-score each frame of the picture, adaptive sharpening technology can enhance the details of mid-range resolution videos, effectively improve the clarity of the picture. As far as the daily use experience is concerned, this screen does bring a very good and excellent look, whether it is watching videos or pictures, there is great visual enjoyment.

Large battery + large memory Excellent comprehensive experience

In terms of configuration, the Honor X50 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor this time, and the comprehensive performance is still good. In terms of memory, the Honor X50 is equipped with up to 16GB of running memory + up to 512GB of storage for the first time in the same gear in the industry, which is really full of sincerity for mobile phones with only 6GB or 4GB at the same price.

Larger memory means that the mobile phone's multitasking ability, the background APP retention rate will be greatly improved, and the large storage can cache more videos and photos, which is very friendly for users who like to cache short videos or TV series. The large dual-memory experience makes daily use smoother and smoother.

Speaking of experience, battery life has to be mentioned, the endurance of the Honor X50 can be said to be enough surprise for me. The Honor X50 is equipped with a large battery of 5800mAh, and at the same time has a volume of 7.98mm thick and 185g, which is really a combination of strength and thinness. The author also actually tested it: watching videos for an hour consumes 3% of power; Brushing Weibo consumes 4% of electricity for one hour; Playing games for one hour consumes 11% of electricity; Douyin consumes 2% of electricity in half an hour; E-books consume 2% of power in half an hour. 4 hours consumes 22% of the battery, which is very good, and there is no problem supporting us for a day.

100 million high-pixel sensor, thousand yuan photography is also free

In terms of images, the Honor X50 is more pragmatic and does not give some useless tactical shots. The result is a 100-million-pixel high-definition main camera, f/1.75 large aperture, a 1/1.67-inch large bottom sensor and a 2 million sensor. This 100 million pixel ultra-clear main camera supports 3x lossless zoom, and can realize different gameplay with super night mode, AI intelligent optimization, portrait mode, large aperture mode, multi-lens video, micro-movie and other functions. So let's take a look at the sample together.

In well-lit daylight, the Honor X50's performance is already quite good, thanks to 100 million pixels, the Honor X50's photos are very detailed. After turning on the 3X zoom, the Honor X50 can really give people the illusion that it seems to be optical zoom, and the effect is not inferior to those products equipped with telephoto lenses.

In poor lighting environments such as at night, the Honor X50 is still very capable of fighting, and with a nine-pixel equivalent pixel size of 1.92μm, it obtains a greater amount of light. With the Honor RAW domain image algorithm, you can see that the highlights of the picture are not exerted but there are details in the shadows.

Summary: Another thousand-dollar flagship that kills crazy

As the pinnacle of the Honor X series in ten years, the Honor X50 can be said to be full of sincerity. It has insight into the major pain points of consumer crashes, bringing good quality and hardcore curved screens. In addition, the Honor X50 also brings 100 million pixel shooting and long-lasting strong battery life, and the leapfrog experience makes some 3K machines look hungry. Overall, the honor X50 is the most balanced and excellent mobile phone in this stall, if you budget within 2K and want to buy a mobile phone with a good experience in all aspects, then the honor X50 pay more attention.
