It’s been a minute since we’ve seen an Honor phone land in the UK with Google Services sitting pride of place. But that’s exactly what the Honor 50 represents: a return to international form after the company’s separation from Huawei, with full access to Google Play Store and all your usual apps.
It’s perhaps a little bit odd, then, that the Honor 50 looks a whole lot like Huawei’s P50, which was announced mid-2021. Maybe we should call it a ‘conscious uncoupling’ between the two. Then again that’s how divorces tend to work: half goes one way, half the other, without total razing of the past.
