The Honor 30 series will feature all three
of HiSilicon’s 5G enabled chipsets – from the flagship Kirin 990 5G, through
the yet to be announced Kirin 985 and to the mid-range Kirin 820. This was
confirmed by the company itself on Weibo.
The Honor 30S is already official with a
820 chip. This leaves the other two chipsets for the upcoming Honor 30 and 30
Pro, which popped up on TENAA a couple of days ago. The Honor 30 Pro will have
a 50MP rear camera (up from 40MP on the non-Pro) and up to 12GB of RAM to go
with the Kirin 990 5G. The vanilla Honor 30 will use the 985 chip, which has a
similar CPU configuration but runs at lower clock speeds. The two phones will
share a 6.57” AMOLED display (1080p+ resolution) and 3,900mAh battery.
Besides the 50MP camera with Sony IMX700
sensor, the Honor 30 Pro will also have a
periscope telephoto cam. The company posted a couple of camera samples teasing
the phone’s low-light capabilities and a possible Moon mode. Honor’s president
also shared official images of the phone itself ahead of its official unveiling
on April 15.
