Honor followed through with its plans to launch the Honor X80 Pro Max on June 22nd, even though they oddly placed the unveiling for the Honor X70 Pro Max midway. The newcomer has gone official with the company’s biggest battery yet, and its brightness also hits unprecedented figures, just like they advertised.
This newcome is able to push the brightness all the way to 10,000 nit (peak). This doesn’t happen on demand, but the HDR video playback can use it to make the content pop. By the way, X80 Pro Max is the only phone that can legitimately claim this brightness figure.
The screen itself is a 6.8” LTPS AMOLED, so it’s very efficient. The refresh rate is 120Hz. And the resolution seems to be the new industry standard 1.5K. This may be a top-of-the-line AMOLED display, seeing how thin its bezels are.
Honor latest X mobile is among the first wave of phones that will grab the Snapdragon 6 Gen 5 chip, which is very new and was announced just last month. It’s 4nm, and the clock speeds boost up to 2.6 GHz on four of its power cores. Adreno 812 GPU sits on that silicon.
It looks like there is more than one camera on the circular module, but that’s just a facade. There’s actually just one 50MP OIS main camera on the handset. The X80 Pro Max selfie camera is also a big disappointment at just 8MP resolution. An almost $300 phone should have better optics.
8GB and 12GB RAM options are available with 128GB, 256GB, or 512GB storage levels. Of course, the upgrade will bump the price at each level, and this newcomer won’t be forgiving on the customer’s wallet. The phone does justify every penny if you are after the biggest battery.
Honor X80 Pro Max is the first phone they made, built around an 11,000mAh battery. They’ve wired it to a 90W charging kit, and you can pull 27W from this cell to recharge other devices. The phone has Android 16 Magic OS 10 by default. It is also completely sealed with IP68/IP69 waterproof ratings. It even has an underwater optical fingerprint ID. The base price for this handset is CNY 1,999 (~PKR 82,000).
