The vanilla Honor 30 sports a 6.53-inch
OLED display with FHD+ resolution and a single punch-hole cutout in the top
left corner for the 32 MP selfie cam. The panel sports a 20:9 aspect ratio and
also comes with an under-display fingerprint scanner.
Going around the back we find a 40MP
1/1.7-inch main camera with the RYYB color filter as the Honor 30 Pro. The
accompanying sensors are the same 8MP periscope module from the 30 Pro and an
8MP ultrawide shooter.
The more noteworthy aspect about the Honor
30, however, is its new Kirin 985 5G chipset. It’s built on the 7nm node and
features a main Cortex-A76 core clocked at 2.58GHz with three accompanying
Cortex-A76 working at 2.40GHz and four Cortex-A55 running at 1.84GHz. On the
GPU side, we have the Mali-G77 and the new chipset also boasts the Kirin ISP
5.0, which is touted to bring flagship-level camera performance and advanced
noise reduction.
The Honor 30 has the same 4,000mAh cell
with 40W fast wired charging. The software front is covered by Magic UI 3.1.0
based on Android 10. The Honor 30 will be available in black, purple, silver
and green colors. The base price for the 6/128GB model is CNY 2,999 (US$ 425).
There’s also an 8/128GB variant for CNY 3,199 (US$ 450) and a top of the line
8/256GB trim for CNY 3,499 (US$ 495). Pre-orders are already underway while
official sales start on April 21.
