Honor 80 features a slightly smaller curved 6.67-inch OLED display with 2400×1080 px resolution and the same 120Hz refresh rate. There’s a single 32MP selfie cam housed in the punch hole cutout here.

Honor 80 Pro packs Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset though it is a slightly underclocked version with the prime Cortex-X2 core running at 3.0Ghz (instead of 3.2GHz) while the three Cortex-A710 Gold cores are capped at 2.5GHz compared to 2.75Ghz on other phones with the SD 8+ chip.

Honor 80 brings the just announced Snapdragon 782G chipset, which comes to succeed to the SD 778G+ SoC.

Moving on to the cameras – both the Honor 80 Pro and Honor 80 share the same 160MP primary camera. This is a 1/1.56-inch imaging sensor with an f/1.8 aperture that does 16-in-1 binning with 0.75µm pixels. Honor is also bringing its revamped Image Engine packed with improved scene optimizations, skin texture detection and upgraded AI RAW algorithms. AI Vlog mode is here to bring creators more advanced controls to their videos.

Huawei probably still handling the camera department of Honor, but they will never use Huawei's XMage branding for fear of investigation by the USA. MagicUI is also still pretty much a EMUI clone.

The Pro won't come to Malaysia because Honor Malaysia only like bringing in the vanilla model. The 50 Pro and 70 Pro never reached Malaysia.
