The upcoming Honor 100 series, set to succeed the Honor 90 lineup launched earlier this year, is highly anticipated. This new series is expected to follow a similar pattern as its predecessor, offering two models: the standard Honor 100 and the premium Honor 100 Pro.
Previous leaks have hinted at key specifications, including details about the processors and display features for these smartphones. Recently, the company officially announced the launch date for the series.
In a recent Weibo post, Honor confirmed that the Honor 100 series will debut in China on November 23. The announcement showed off about refreshing the technological design and enhancing the overall product experience, claiming it to be a "full-scoring masterpiece".
