Honor X50 is set to launch in the first week of July as a successor to the Honor X40, which was released in September 2022. The Honor X40 was released with an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC paired with an Adreno 619 GPU and a 5,100mAh battery with 40W fast charging support. The company recently announced at the 2023 Mobile World Congress in Shanghai that it will also launch the Honor Magic V2 book-style foldable smartphone on July 12. Several reports around the Honor X50 now suggest key specifications of the smartphone, while the company has confirmed its processor and battery details.
