Honor introduced a trio of flagships
earlier this year - Honor 30, Honor 30 Pro, and Honor 30 Pro+. 1.5 months after
the launch in China, the lineup is finally going international and the first
market to get them is Russia. However, only the Honor 30 and Honor 30 Pro+ are
currently available - there’s no mention of the Honor 30 Pro at all.
The Honor 30 arrives with Kirin 985
chipset, flat 6.53” display, and a 40 MP main camera. Only one of its memory
options is currently up for pre-order - 8/256GB. The initial price is RUB39,990
- that’s about US$ 565/€ 510 or 15% more expensive than it is in China. The Honor
30 Pro+ is priced at RUB 54,990, which is the equivalent of US$ 777/€ 700, once
again, for an 8/256 GB memory combo.
While these prices seem high, Honor Russia
offers plenty of gifts - every device comes with Honor Magic Earbuds, and a
bumper case or a tripod selfie stick. Also, if a purchase is made until June
30, you get the equivalent of up to RUB 10,000 in Yandex goods - up to RUB 5,000
for Yandex.Eda (the Russian equivalent of Uber) and the same equivalent for
Yandex.Taxi (a local cab service).
The Russian platform also offers 90-day
free trial of Yandex Plus and three movies from KinoPoisk HD.
