Honor 300 Ultra unveiled: the top smartphone in the Honor Numbers line-up with 50-megapixel periscope and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip
Honor has unveiled a new flagship smartphone, the Honor 300 Ultra, which is the top of the Honor 300 range.
Here's What We Know
The first thing that makes the device different from the younger models in the 300 lineup is the 50MP periscopic camera (IMX858) with 3.8x optical zoom and f/3.0 aperture. Apart from this, the smartphone sports a 50MP main camera (IMX906) with optical stabilisation and a 12MP ultra wide-angle camera. Honor 300 Ultra supports Harcourt Portrait mode, which mimics the signature lighting of a Parisian photo studio. The new Periscope allows you to take photos from a long distance, while a special AI Light Control Engine preserves natural light and shadow effects.
