Honor 100 series has been anticipated to launch as a successor to the Honor 90 lineup, that was unveiled in May this year. The series is expected to come with two models - the base Honor 100 and a high-end Honor 100 Pro, similar to the Honor 90 and Honor 90 Pro models of the preceding lineup. Some key details of the smartphones have been tipped previously including processor and display specifications. Now, the company has confirmed the launch date of the series.

In a Weibo post, Honor confirmed that its upcoming Honor100 series of smartphones will be launched in China on November 23. The announcement claimed that the Honor 100 phones will be “refreshing the technological aesthetic design” and that they will also upgrade “the product function experience” making it “the full-scoring masterpiece.” The post was accompanied by the hashtag “Glory 100 Full Score Photogenic.”

Previously, the Honor 100 Pro has been tipped to feature a 1.5K resolution display with a PWM dimming rate of 3,840Hz. The handset is expected to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. It is also said to come with dual front cameras.
