Honor has officially unveiled its new 300 series smartphones. The lineup includes the Honor 300, Honor 300 Pro, and Honor 300 Ultra. While the Ultra will be covered in another article, let’s focus on the features, specs, and prices of the Honor 300 and 300 Pro.
Design and Colors
Both phones are designed with inspiration from nature, offering you a stylish look. The Honor 300 has a sleek, ultra-thin screen with a flat display, while the Pro model stands out with a curved “hyperbolic” display on the front and back for a more immersive experience.
For colors, the Honor 300 gives you options like Ink Rock Black, Jade Dragon Snow, Chaka Green, Cangshan Grey, and Luyan Purple. The Honor 300 Pro comes in Ink Rock Black, Starlight Sand, and Chaka Green.
Camera Features
Honor puts a strong focus on the cameras in this series. Both models come with a 50MP front camera, perfect for selfies and group photos.
On the back, the Honor 300 has two cameras: a 50MP main camera (Sony IMX906) and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle macro lens.
The Honor 300 Pro takes it further with three cameras: the same 50MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra-wide-angle macro lens, and a 50MP telephoto lens to capture details from far away.
Honor says these cameras can take professional-quality portraits and handle different lighting conditions with their AI-powered light-control engine. With MagicOS 9.0, you get cool features like taking a photo and focusing it later, blurring the background for artistic shots, and expanding your photo’s frame for a wider view.

Both phones come with OLED displays that make your content look vibrant and smooth. The Honor 300 has a 6.7-inch flat display with a resolution of 2664×1200 and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Honor 300 Pro upgrades to a slightly larger 6.78-inch curved display with a 2700×1224 resolution. Both phones offer 1.07 billion colors, 4000 nits of peak brightness, and advanced eye protection features like 3840Hz PWM dimming.
When it comes to performance, the Honor 300 is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip, while the Pro version uses the faster Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
