After witnessing how Xiaomi has disrupted the smart TV segment over the past couple of years, more tech giants (phone makers, in particular) are now interested in this category and are looking to offer added smart features to users. The Honor Vision smart TV lineup wasunveiled in Chinaa couple of months ago and well, it is now making its way to India next week.

The company hasn’t explicitly mentioned whether it will launch both the Pro and non-Pro variants in India, but it would likely be both as only the Pro variant has a pop-up camera.

Talking about the hardware specs, both the Honor Vision and Honor Vision Pro come with 55-inch 4K display panels and are loaded with Huawei’s recently annoucned HarmonyOS. The display features an almost bezel-less design with 85% NTSC wide color gamut, up to 360 nits of brightness, 94% screen-to-body ratio, along with TÜV Rheinland certification.

The smart TVs are powered by the quad-core Honghu 818 processor with two A53 cores and two A73 cores, paired with a 4-core Mali-G51 GPU. Honor Vision includes four 10W speakers, whereas Honor Vision Pro includes six 10W speakers to offer professional 5.1 surround sound.

Well, the standout feature of the Honor Vision Pro is the pop-up camera, which supports video calling at 1080p@30FPS. The pop-up camera can also be adjusted by a 10-degree angle, which sounds pretty cool and useful.

There’s no information on the India pricing yet, but if we go by the Chinese pricing, then the Honor Vision should start around Rs 40,000 for the non-Pro variant. So, would you be interested in buying a smart TV with a pop-up camera? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
