Though Huawei is going through bad times, the company (including Honor) has launched a total of 19 smartphones in the first half (H1) of 2020. According to a blogger, the Chinese smartphone maker will be soon launching two more handsets – Honor 30 Youth Edition (Lite) and Enjoy 20 Plus.

Most of the handsets released by both Huawei and Honor so far this year are 5G enabled. The Chinese telecom giant is playing an important role in pushing 5G adaptation in its home country despite global pandemic.

In fact, out of the 19 smartphones launched by the company, only 4 models are limited to 4G, whereas the remaining 15 are 5G ready, mostly powered by in-house Kirin 990 and Kirin 820.

However, the cheapest 5G smartphone by the company, the Enjoy Z features MediaTek Dimensitey 800 SoC underneath. This handset currently retails for 1,699 Yuan ($240) for the base 6GB + 64GB storage variant.

Here’s a table of all the smartphones released by Huawei and Honor in the first half (H1) of 2020.

In addition to the above-mentioned devices, Huawei is also readying to launch Enjoy 20 Plus, which is expected to go official around June 24. Also, its sub-brand will be releasing Honor 30 Lite aka Youth Edition in China.

Though nothing is known about these handsets as of now, we can expect the leaks to soon follow as we near to the date of their launch.

The post Huawei/Honor launched 15 5G smartphones in H1 2020, Enjoy 20 Plus & Honor 30 Youth (Lite) in works appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Honor 30 series has four members that include the Honor 30 Pro+, the Honor 30 Pro, the Honor 30, and the Honor 30S. Fresh news from China says Honor is about to add a fifth member called the Honor 30 Lite.

According to info from Weibo user @Changan Digital Jun, the Honor 30 Lite is on the way. The device is said to have a punch-hole display with a high refresh rate. It also has triple rear cameras which includes a 48MP primary sensor.

Seeing as the Honor 30S already exists, there doesn’t seem to be a need for the Honor 30 Lite to exist. A higher-refresh rate is definitely a welcome feature but it will have to pack more than that to sway buyers away from the Honor 30S which packs pretty impressive specs. Nevertheless, there is still a lot we do not know about the phone.

The launch is close but there is no specific date yet. However, we won’t be surprised if Honor announces other products alongside the phone. Honor has a launch on May 18 for new routers and there is a chance the Honor 30 Lite may be announced alongside them. The Honor X10 is also scheduled for a release on May 20 which is another possible date for the Honor 30 Lite to launch.

It arrived as an upper mid-range handset featuring the Kirin 820 5G chipset. Fresh information reveals that the company has plans to launch one more Honor 30 series phone. It may go official in June or July.

The Chinese tipster that revealed the existence of a new Honor 30 series phone did not mention its exact name. There is a possibility that this device could be the Honor 30 Lite smartphone.

The Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro phones from last year have been succeeded by the Honor 30, Honor 30 Pro and Pro+ phones. The Honor 20S that was announced in September has been replaced by the Honor 30S. In April 2019, the company had launched Honor 20 Lite phone. Hence, it appears the time is due for the arrival of its successor. Hence, the Honor 30 series phone that may launch in June or July could be Honor 30 Lite (aka Honor 30 Youth Edition).
