Last year, in October, Honor launched a lightweight and thin smartphone, dubbed the Honor X30i. The handset debuted with an affordable price tag and decent features. Now, the Chinese company is gearing up to launch the successor of the X30i in the form of the Honor X40i. Details about the upcoming smartphone are pretty short. However, some leaks and renders do give us a whiff of its specifications.
in a Weibo post, Jiang Hairong, CMO of
Honor Terminal Co. Ltd, officially announced the new Honor X40i phone Hairong
stated that the phone would be launched soon and also shared three teaser
posters of the smartphone.
The posters have a space theme, and one of
them has “Cosmic Romance” written on it. This suggests that the smartphone may
come with a space-inspired design. Previous renders of the smartphone combined
with the teaser posters signal that the Honor X40i will have a right-angle
frame design and a straight screen. The overall design of the smartphone could
have a boxy appearance like its predecessor.
Talking about the specifications, the
smartphone is expected to feature dual rear cameras on the rear, consisting of
a 50-megapixel primary camera followed by a 2-megapixel sensor. Its camera
module is very different, the two cameras on the rear form a ring-intersection
design.
To recall, the Honor X30i 5G was launched
with a Dimensity 810 chip. It features a 6.7-inch LCD offering a 2388×1080
resolution and a 93.6% screen-to-body ratio. The smartphone carries support for
a 90Hz refresh rate. It has a 4000mAh battery that supports 22.5W fast charge,
GPU Turbo X, and Link Turbo X technologies. In terms of optics, the device
houses triple rear cameras, with a 48MP main camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and a
2MP macro lens. It supports super night
shooting and has an intelligent multi-frame synthesis algorithm.
