A report from the previous week had claimed that Honor’s next X-series smartphone will be arriving as Honor X10, and not Honor 10X as it was previously thought. Today, Honor President Zhao Ming confirmed today that Honor 10X will be renamed to Honor X10 and it will be arriving as a 5G-ready smartphone.
Ming said that if the Honor 30S powered by the Kirin 820 5G chipset has set off a wave of 5G popularity in China, the X-series will set off a 5G storm. Each generation of Honor’s X-series have been well-received in the home market as the company has managed to sell tens of millions of X-monikered smartphones. Last week, the Chinese firm confirmed that the sales of the Honor 9X exceeded 10 million units in China.
While the rumor mill has claimed that Honor decided to rename its upcoming X-series phone as Honor X10 in order to prevent consumers from getting confused it with Redmi’s forthcoming Redmi 10X 4G phone, Ming did not share the exact reason behind renaming the product. Speculations surrounding the Honor X10 have claimed that it could be featuring the Kirin 820 5G chipset. It is speculated that the Honor X10 is codenamed as Teller. While the company is mum on the existence of Honor X10 Pro, rumors have it that it could be powered by Kirin 985 chipset and it could be coming soon.
The Honor X10 series is expected to get announced in May. It could be priced under 2,000 Yuan (~$282). A tipster from China has shared the key specs of the Honor X10. Readers are advised to digest the leaked specs with a grant of salt as its authenticity could not be confirmed.
