Honor unveiled the anticipated large
screen X10 Max 5G after several weeks of teasers. It’s built around a 7.09-inch
IPS LCD with FHD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch for its 8MP selfie cam. The
display uses an RGBW matrix which results in improved brightness compared to
conventional LCDs. The panel can crank out 780 nits of brightness and is also
HDR10 compliant.
The X10 Max is among the largest phones on
the market measuring at 174.37mm in height and 84.91 mm in width while weighing
a chunky 232 grams. Honor even thinks it can serve as a portable infotainment
system in your car. The phone is also equipped with dual speakers with
symmetrical cutouts on the top and bottom halves of the frame.
Powering the internals is the MediaTek Dimensity
800 5G chipset paired with 6GB or 8GB RAM and 64GB or 128GB storage. The back
features a square cutout for the 48MP primary camera, LED flash and 2MP depth
sensor. The battery comes in at 5,000 mAh and supports 22.5W charging. On the
software side, we have Magic UI 3.1 on top of Android 10.
The X10 Max will be available in blue,
silver and black colors with sales in China scheduled to begin tomorrow. The
base 6/64GB configuration will sell for CNY 1,899 (US$ 269). There’s also a
6/128GB version for CNY 2,099 (US$ 297) and an 8/128GB variant for CNY 2,499
(US$ 354).
