Huawei is gearing up for the launch of the Honor X10 on 20th May. However, just a few days prior to the launch, the smartphone had its popup camera revealed online. The leak revealed a stronger build design but at a higher cost.
For those unaware, the Honor X10 is a mid range smartphone and will feature the Kirin 820 5G SoC. Its display has a sampling rate of 180Hz and a refresh rate of 90Hz. The device will be powered by a large 4,200mAh battery that supports up to 22.5W fast charging. For selfies, the front shooter is housed in a popup camera mechanism, which had its internal structure revealed.

The reveal was first shared online by @长安数码君 on Weibo, a Chinese microblogging website, and arrived alongside a few images as well. The images revealed the internal layout and schematics of the Honor X10’s popup camera mechanism. These schematics showcase a dual-rail popup mechanism. In comparison, smartphones generally only have a single rail design and motor for raising or lowering the camera module.
This essentially translates to a robust design, which should offer a stronger structure to the mechanism. However, it also means that the Honor X10’s popup camera will be a bit more expensive and could potentially raise the price of the handset as well. Over the conventional builds, this system also placed lesser stress on the middle portion of the lifting track and the mechanism will have a lower chance of deviation with use over time.
