Honor X30 5G Specs & Price

Back in October, Honor launched its first two X30 series phones with the X30i and X30 Max and now today, the brand has introduced the standard version of the lineup which is the Honor X30 5G. The X30 was unveiled alongside the Honor Play 30 Plus 5G, yet another premium mid-ranger.

 

The Honor X30 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset which is a 6nm SoC with support for 5G connectivity. The processor pairs with 12GB RAM on the top end version but there is a 6GB RAM version. For storage, there are 128GB and 256GB storage options.

The X30 packs a 6.8-inch IPS LCD screen with an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2388-pixel. The display also comes with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. The display utilizes a punch-hole design under which sits a 16MP selfie shooter.

At the rear, the vanilla X30 features Honor’s iconic ring camera design with a wide circumference just like that of the Magic 3. The module holds a triple camera setup consisting of a 48MP main shooter. There is also a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro camera.

The phone is fueled by 4,800mAh battery which supports a 66W fast charging – capable of delivering a charging progression of 0-80% in just 30 minutes. For interface, the X30 runs on Honor’s proprietary Magic UI 5.0 based on Android 11.
