Honor is all set to announce the Honor X10 smartphone on May 20. While the company hasn’t released an official confirmation, the rumor mill has claimed it will be also announcing the Honor X10 Pro alongside the vanilla model. The Honor X10 will be replacing the Honor 9X Pro from last year that came with a 6.59-inch notch-less screen. The TENAA listing of the Honor X10 5G has revealed that it will be flaunting a larger notch-less display compared to the predecessor phone. Today, the company revealed that the X10 will support a higher refresh rate and touch sampling rate.
The poster released by Huawei’s sub-brand confirms that the Honor X10 5G’s display will support the 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate. A higher refresh rate promises better viewing experience while scrolling, animations, and transitions than the conventional 60Hz display. Higher touch sampling rate means the screen will refresh at a faster rate to register a touch. Hence, it appears that the Honor X10 will be arriving with some gaming capabilities.
According to yesterday’s leak, the Honor X10 Pro is supposed to get a higher 90Hz refresh rate and the standard X10 will use a 60Hz display. But the above image mentions 90Hz for the X10, so it’s possible that the leak wasn’t entirely accurate.
Honor is yet to confirm on the other features of the smartphone. Since the smartphone appeared on TENAA last month, its entire specifications have been revealed. The handset is expected to debut as the cheapest 5G-ready smartphone form the company.
Honor X10 5G specifications
The Honor X10 is expected to come with a 6.63-inch Full HD+ resolution supporting notch-less display. The Kirin 820 5G chipset will be fueling the device. The phone may come with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of built-in storage. The phone will come with a graphene cooling system.
The EMUI based Android 10 OS will run on the device. It may arrive with a 4,200mAh battery that supports 22.5W fast charging. It may possess a 16-megapixel pop-up selfie shooter and a 40-megapixel (Sony IMX600y RYYB) + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel triple camera setup on the rear.
