HONOR Teases Big Reveal at Miss Universe PH 2026 Coronation Night
Something interesting is brewing between HONOR Philippines and Miss Universe Philippines 2026. The brand has started teasing what looks like a new partnership—and possibly a new smartphone reveal tied to the big event.From the early hints, this isn’t just another routine launch. HONOR seems to be building this one around imaging, with a clear focus on AI-powered camera features and smarter everyday tools. A Strong Focus on AI Imaging Based on what’s been shared so far, the upcoming device is shaping up to be camera-centric. The mention of “next-level AI imaging” suggests improvements not just in photo quality, but also in how the phone processes scenes, lighting, and subjects. In real-world use, this usually means less effort when taking photos—better results even in tricky lighting, cleaner portraits, and smarter adjustments without having to tweak settings manually. It also sounds like HONOR is leaning into content creation. Features that help users shoot, edit, and share quickly are becoming more important now, especially for those who post regularly on social media. Built for Everyday Creators The direction here is pretty clear. This isn’t just about specs, it’s about how people actually use their phones day to day. Whether it’s quick snaps during events, recording short videos, or editing on the go, the phone seems designed to keep things simple but effective. That “seamless user experience” mentioned in the teaser likely points to smoother performance across apps and camera tools. HONOR x Miss Universe PH Collaboration The partnership itself is an interesting move. Tying a smartphone launch to Miss Universe Philippines gives the brand a platform that’s all about confidence, creativity, and visibility. “For our upcoming launch, we take pride to partner with Miss Universe Philippines 2026. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to confidence, innovation, and empowering individuals to express their authentic selves. Through HONOR, we aim to amplify the voices and stories of modern Filipinos—celebrating beauty that goes beyond the surface and into creativity, purpose, and impact,” said HONOR Philippines Vice President Stephen Cheng. What to Expect There’s still no official confirmation on the exact model or full specs, but the direction is already taking shape, AI cameras, creator-focused features, and a launch that’s meant to stand out. Given how HONOR has been pushing imaging tech lately, this could be one of its more interesting releases this year. For now, all eyes are on the Miss Universe Philippines 2026 coronation night. If the teasers hold true, that stage might double as the launchpad for HONOR’s next big smartphone.-Subscribe to our social media channels: Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, Twitter, and YouTube. to receive the latest news and updates.

Only the Reno15 Pro offers this feature in 4K at 60fps for both the rear-facing and front-facing cameras, while the Reno15 offers the Ultra Steady Mode at 4K at 60fps on the rear cameras only.The Reno15 F only offers Ultra Steady Mode at 1080 at 60fps on both the rear-facing and front-facing cameras.To recap, the Reno15 F comes with a 50MP f/1.8 Main camera with OIS, a 2MP f/2.4 Macro, an 8MP f/2.2 112-degree ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP f/2.0 100-degree front-facing camera. The Reno15 comes with nearly the same camera set-up as the Reno15 F, but replaces the macro camera with a 50MP 3.5x Optical Telephoto camera with OIS.UI of OPPO Reno15 Pro 5GWhile the Reno15 Pro has nearly the same features as the Reno15 but upgrades the main camera to a 200MP f/1.8 main camera with OIS.I tried it with the Reno15 Pro and have a look.Below are side-by-side video footage of the Reno15 Pro's Ultra Steady Mode at 4K at 60fps from the rear camera and at 1080 at 30fps for the selfie camera.The Ultra Steady experience The first pair of footage was taken with the OPPO Reno15 Pro's 200MP f/1.8 main camera with OIS.When the Ultra Steady is turned off, the field of view of the footage is wider, but the shake and camera movement are more prominently noticeable. When the Ultra Steady is turned on, the field of view is cropped marginally.The next two pairs are shot with the Selfie Camera. The Ultra Steady Mode locks the footage to 1080 at 30fps. However, it does significantly reduce the shake while introducing a small crop. View this post on Instagram A post shared by GIZGUIDEPH (@gizguideph) GIZGUIDE EIC Peter Jan also tried using the Reno15 Pro 5G's 4K mode while on vacation in Taiwan, and he said that he was impressed by its stabilization, smoothness, and general overall picture quality, particularly when zooming even without turning on the UltraSteady mode. He added, "Imagine how good it is when you use the UltraSteady."See for yourself, the feature obviously makes the footage smoother, more stable, and more cinematic, thus adding to OPPO's claim that the Reno15 Series is made for content creation.What do you guys think?
