A new Huawei / Honor smartphone that has a model number of BMH-AN10 has received approval from the 3C authority of China. A Chinese tipster claims that it could be the Honor 30 series smartphone. The handset is expected to rival with the OnePlus 8 series smartphone that is expected to break cover in the second week of April.

The 3C certification of the BMH-AN10 smartphone reveals that it is a 5G-ready phone. The listing does not reveal any details on the specs of the phone. However, it does reveal that the phone may ship with a charger that offers a maximum charging speed of 40W. Various variants of the smartphone have already bagged approval from the Bluetooth SIG body in the recent past. The Bluetooth certification is a good hint that its arrival could be close at hand.

The Honor V30 series that debuted at the end of 2019 had OXF-XXXX model number where “OXF” referred to the “Oxford” codename of the smartphone. The Chinese media is speculating that the codenamed of the Honor 30 phone could be “Birmingham” because of which its model number is BMH-XXXX.

Reliable tipster with @Rodent950 Twitter account had claimed that the Honor 30 series will be made official in April. If this turns out to be true, the OnePlus 8 and OnePlus 8 Pro may fierce competition from Honor 30 series that may include Honor 30 and Honor 30 Pro smartphones. There could be a mid-range Honor 30 phone to rival with the OnePlus 8 Lite phone. The Honor 30 will also be a good rival for the Redmi K30 Pro phone that will debut this month.

At present, there is no information available on the specifications of the Honor 30 series. It is likely that the Honor 30 may come with up to 90Hz refresh rate screen and it could be fueled by Kirin 990 5G chipset. Like the predecessor Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro, their successor is expected to offer stellar photography experience.
