In a week, on November 23, Honor will hold a new event and introduce many new products. They will include both hardware and software. As for the latter, the company will show the new MagicOS system. However, we are waiting for the Honor 80 series. Though many of us have been thinking that the company will use the yet-to-come Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, today, we learned none of the models in the series would sport that chip. Instead, the Honor 80 Pro will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 flagship chip.

Moreover, on the Honor 80 Standard Edition poster, we can see that the handset wouldn’t come with the Snapdragon 778G Plus as everyone has been thinking of. Instead, the vanilla version will use the first Qualcomm Snapdragon 782G processor. Also, we learned that the Honor 80 Pro version’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 + Gen 1 chip would have a peak clock speed of 3.0Ghz.
Today, a Weibo tipster said this chip is the low-frequency version of the original Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1. It contains a 3.0GHz Cortex-X2 super core, three 2.5GHz Cortex-A710 cores, and four 1.8GHz Cortex-A510 small cores. As a reference, the so-called full-blood version of the Snapdragon 8+ consists of one 3.2GHz X2 core, three 2.75GHz A710 cores, and four 2.0GHz A510 cores.
Externally the series will look outstanding. On the front, it will use a “pill-shaped” camera module. On the opposite side, we can see an “8-shaped” camera. The texture on the back of the fuselage is like blue waves, which makes the phone catch our eyes. This variant will come with a 50-megapixel dual camera on the micro-curved screen, a rear-mounted 160-megapixel f/1.8 triple-camera, and a 66W flash charging solution.
By the way, apart from these two, there will be the third model, the Honor 80 SE. According to various rumors, the Honor 80 SE will use a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 chip.
