Honor today announced its first 5G
smartphone in the X series, dubbed Honor X10 5G. The Honor X10 5G is powered by
the Kirin 820 SoC - the same platform that powers the higher standing Honor
30S. It supports dual-mode 5G (SA/NSA) as well as nine 5G frequency bands for
an extensive range of coverage.
The X10 5G runs Android 10 with MagicUI
3.1.1 on top and you get three memory options - 6GB/64GB, 6GB/128GB, and
8GB/128GB. It also comes with a microSD card slot, which allows storage
expansion by up to 256GB. The Honor X10 5G is built around a 6.63" FullHD+
notchless IPS LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and a touch sampling rate of 180Hz.
The phone comes with a total of four
cameras - a 16MP selfie snapper mounted on a pop-up mechanism, and a triple
camera setup on the back comprising a 40MP main, 8MP ultrawide and 2MP macro
units. The 40MP main camera packs an RYYB sensor for better light sensitivity
and in turn low-light photography. The smartphone also comes with AIS Super
Night Mode, 3D Portrait Lighting Effect, and 960fps Slow Motion Video
Recording.
Other highlights of the Honor X10 5G
include a side-mounted fingerprint reader, GPU Turbo and Kirin Gaming+ 2.0,
which uses AI frequency modulation to achieve a balance between gaming
performance and power consumption. Fueling this entire package is a 4,300 mAh
battery which charges at up to 22.5W.
The Honor X10 5G comes in Sapphire Blue,
Midnight Black, Titanium Silver, and Fiery Orange colors. The base model with
6GB RAM and 64GB storage is priced at CNY 1,899 (US$ 270/€ 245) and for CNY 300
(US$ 42/€ 39) more you get double storage. And if you go for the top-end variant
with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, you'll have to shell out CNY 2,399 (US$ 340/€ 310).
