Honor has unveiled its latest smartphone lineup, the 300 Series, introducing innovative features and premium specifications across three distinct models. The launch marks a significant step forward in smartphone technology, particularly with the introduction of motion sickness prevention technology previously seen only in Apple's ecosystem.
Motion Sickness Relief Technology
Honor has implemented a groundbreaking display feature in the 300 Series that aims to combat motion sickness. Similar to Apple's Vehicle Motion Cues in iOS 18, the system displays dots on the screen that render motion in real-time, helping to synchronize visual input with physical movement. This technology addresses a common issue affecting many smartphone users who experience discomfort while using their devices in moving vehicles.
Premium Hardware Specifications
The flagship Honor 300 Ultra leads the series with a sophisticated design featuring a 7-layer plain leather back. It boasts a 6.78-inch OLED quad-curved display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 3840Hz PWM dimming. The device is powered by an optimized version of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, carefully tuned for thermal efficiency and sustained performance.
