Honor Vision TVs May be Launched Globally at IFA 2019

Huawei’sall-new Honor Vision TVs– otherwise known as ‘Smart Screens’ – may be headed out of China if new developments are anything to go by. Believed to have been spotted firstby Android Authority, multiple new models in the newly-launched lineup have popped up on theBluetooth SIG website, suggesting their imminent launch worldwide. While some media reports are speculating an announcement at the upcoming IFA 2019, there’s no official confirmation about that just yet.

As can be seen from the screenshot below, the devices have been listed asHuawei/Honor Smart Screenon the Bluetooth SIG website, and carry model numbers: HEGE, OSCA-550, OSCA-550A, OSCA-550X and OSCA-550AX. While they all runEMUI HomeVision 9.0.0.13, it is as yet unclear whether it’s based on Android or the company’s proprietary HarmonyOS, which is what powers the Chinese variants.

Huawei last month launched itsHonor VisionandHonor Vision ProTVs in China after manyleaks and teasersover the preceding weeks. Also referred to as Smart Screens by Huawei, the TVs feature many top-of-the-line features, but are priced surprisingly affordably compared to the competition. While the former is priced at 3,799 yuan (around Rs. 38,000), the latter comes with a 4,799 yuan price-tag (around Rs. 48,000).

The Honor Vision and Honor Vision Pro both feature 55-inch 4K displays certified by TÜV Rheinland. The TVs come with bezel-less designs with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 94 percent and, as mentioned already, run thenewly announced HarmonyOS. Both TVs are powered by the quad-core Honghu 818 processor, but while the ‘Pro’ model comes with six 10W speakers, the standard model gets only four. The Pro model also gets a pop-up camera with support for 1080p/30FPS video calls.
