Excitement is brewing in the tech world as Honor prepares to launch its much-anticipated smartphone, the Honor X50, on July 7th. Intriguing leaks have surfaced, suggesting unique variants of the device, including a particularly noteworthy version featuring a BMW collaboration, as well as a refined leather model.

A tipster, known as Wanzhai, sparked interest on Weibo by sharing a live image of the Honor X50. The device's aesthetics are impressive, with a sleek design characterized by curved edges at both the front and rear. Yet, the real attention-grabber is the camera system, adorned with a conspicuous BMW logo at the heart of the module. Whether this signifies an official partnership with BMW or is merely a customized prototype is uncertain, but the authenticity of the image adds weight to the speculation.

Further details about the Honor X50 reveal a diamond-cut large camera circle, housing two strategically positioned cameras. The upper camera is paired with an LED flash, while its counterpart at the bottom boasts an outstanding 108MP lens. The X50's versatility extends to its external aesthetics as well. An orange model, clad in unadorned leather, has made an appearance in an online promotional poster.

Honor China's CMO, Jiang Hairong, has showcased another innovative design feature of the Honor X50 in a new poster: a ten-sided anti-fall curved screen. This promising design could significantly increase the device's durability, mitigating the damage from unexpected drops.

The Honor X50 has also drawn attention for its speculated specifications. Based on the TENAA listing, the smartphone might flaunt a 6.78-inch Full HD+ flat AMOLED display, offering a resolution of 2652 x 1200 pixels, and an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Rumors also suggest a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, with potential configurations including up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. Moreover, the device may come with a sizeable 5,700mAh battery, an 8-megapixel front camera, and a dual rear camera setup, comprising a 108-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary one. The device is expected to operate on the Magic UI-based Android 13.

The launch date for the Honor X50 is set for July 7th, with a new foldable phone also expected to debut at the event. More specific details about the device's features and specifications are anticipated to be disclosed during the official unveiling.
