Honor V40 series is expected to debut soon and now we might have its specifications. A tipster on Twitter shares key features of the series and says the device will debut next month.

The specifications shared by @RODENT950 on Twitter show a significant upgrade on the V40 series over the Honor V30 series from 2019. According to him, the new V40 series will have two models- V40 Pro, V40 Pro+. Now that’s unlike the V30 series which had the V30 and V30 Pro. In Honor’s defense, it could just be looking to capitalize on the hype of the Mate 40 series with similar naming. That said, we aren’t sure if there’s a vanilla V40 variant just like the predecessor.

Honor V40 Series- Specifications(Expected)

Moving on, the series will likely boast of a 6.72-inch FHD+ curved display. And support the ubiquitous 120Hz refresh rate. Again, this negates the flat-display present on the V30 series. Next, as per his tip, the processors will be different for the V40 Pro, and V40 Pro+. The V40 Pro will have the MediaTek’s Dimensity 1000+ SoC. And the V40 Pro+ will likely have Huawei’s Kirin 9000 SoC. This is once again, unlike the V30 series where both featured the same Kirin 990 SoC.

Besides, the V40 series will likely get an upgrade in camera with a 50MP main lens which could be the Sony IMX700 RYYB lens like Honor 30 Pro+. Although we don’t know if it’ll retain the triple setup or go quad. Also, it is said to sport a dual-lens setup at the front inside the pill-shaped cutout. If the report is true, the V40 series will also get a bump up in charging and come with a 66W SuperCharge and get the 40W Wireless Charging as well.

That said, we can expect other features like Glass build, stereo speakers, USB-C ports, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Dual-SIM, and more. Of course, these specifications may/may not differ in the final versions. So, let’s wait for an official word from Honor.

The post Honor V40 Series Specifications tipped; likely to launch in December appeared first on Gizmochina.

Huawei’s independent Honor brand unveiled three new models in China in April this year – Honor 30, Honor 30 Pro, and Honor 30 Pro+. The company has now launched the models outside China and the first port of call is Russia.

The Honor 30 and Honor 30 Pro+ has been launched in Russia with the Honor 30 Pro missing in action. The Honor 30 features a flat 6.53-inch display and is powered by a Kirin 985 chipset. The phone also packs a 40 MP main camera. The phone comes in more than one memory option but only the 8GB/256GB variant is currently up for pre-order. The model is priced at RUB39,990 ( around $565/€510) which is 15% more expensive than it is in China. That is fair when you take tax and shipping into consideration.

The Honor 30 Pro+ features a 6.57-inch curved OLED panel up front with dual punch-hole cameras. The display has an FHD+ resolution of 1080p with support for 90Hz refresh rate panel and 180Hz touch sampling rate. All three models have in-display fingerprint sensors.

The Honor 30 Pro+ is priced at RUB54,990 (around $777/€700) for the 8GB+256 GB memory combo which is the only variant available.

In a bid to woo buyers, Honor is offering several gifts for each purchase. Every device comes with Honor Magic Earbuds, and a bumper case or a tripod selfie stick. Also, if a purchase is made until June 30, you get the equivalent of up to RUB10,000 in Yandex goods – up to RUB5,000 for Yandex.

The Russian platform also offers 90-day free trial of Yandex Plus and three movies from KinoPoisk HD.

The post Honor 30 and Honor 30 Pro+ launched in Russia but the 30 Pro is missing appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Honor 30 series was recently unveiled and was finally launched earlier today (21st April 2020). The smartphone was the Chinese tech giant’s flagship series with top notch specs, which nearly sold 300 million Yuan (roughly 42 million US Dollars) worth of units in just 1 minute as sales opened.

The Honor 30 flagship series consists of the base variant alongside the Honor 30 Pro and Honor 30 Pro+. Being a flagship handset, it features a premium build quality and a curved display as well. The series sports the company’s latest HiSilicon Kirin 985 5G SoC alongside the Mali-G76 GPU. Notably, the Honor 30 Pro+ received praises and an impressively high score on DxOMark ratings as well, coming in second in the leaderboard.

For pricing, the base Honor 30 starts at 2,999 Yuan (roughly 425 US Dollars) while the Honor 30 Pro starts at 3,999 Yuan (roughly 566 US Dollars) and Honor 30 Pro+ goes for 4,999 Yuan (roughly 708 US Dollars). So, just by taking the Honor 30 Pro as the average cost of the entire series, we can say the company has sold over 75,000 units in just 1 minute, which is quite impressive.

However, this is just a rough median so take it with a grain of salt. We can expect Huawei to unveil specific unit sales sometime later. But as it stands right now, Honor is enjoying the success of its latest flagship launch.

Honor has officially announced three new models in China today – the Honor 30, the Honor 30 Pro, and the Honor 30 Pro+. So it looks like the company is committed to the Pro+ moniker this year, making it the second such device after Huawei launched the Pro+ model in its P40 series last month. All three new Honor models feature a similar design which includes an OLED display, a punch-hole camera up front, and a rectangular camera setup at the back.

Just like the OnePlus 8 that was announced yesterday, Honor is marketing the Honor 30 as a compact 5G flagship. It weighs just 185 grams and measures 8.1mm in thickness. On the other hand, the Honor 30 Pro and Pro+ models have an 8.38mm body and weigh 186 grams and 190 grams respectively. So all the three models are pretty lightweight. The company has used a 3D curved back on all three models giving them better ergonomics.

The Honor 30 and 30 Pro comes in four colors – Neon Purple, Black, Green, and Silver. The Honor 30 Pro+ has just three colors, Black, Silver, and Green. Interestingly, the Honor logo takes up nearly half of the back on all the three models.

Honor 30, 30 Pro, 30 Pro+ Cameras

The camera setup is the biggest highlight of all the three Honor 30 models. In fact, the Honor 30 Pro+ scored 125 on DxOMark, which is just shy of the top score of 128 by the Huawei P40 Pro.

So what’s so special about their cameras? The Pro+ shares the same primary camera as the P40 Pro and features a 50x telephoto periscope lens too!

Honor, the Huawei subsidiary, had recently unveiled its flagship Honor 30 series. Now, the Chinese company’s high end Honor 30 Pro+ has received the second-highest DxOMark rating by scoring 125 points, which is just slightly below the Huawei P40 Pro.

For those unaware, DxOMark is a renowned benchmarking and rating platform that generally reviews professional-grade or digital camera, and recently, smartphones as well. They use various tests in different conditions and environments to get the clearest possible results and have become a standard for ratings in the smartphone industry in recent years.

Arriving at the score, the Honor 30 Pro+ scored a total of 125 points, which includes 136 points for photography and 104 points for videography. Starting with the former, the premium flagship received an impressive score. The device’s zoom capabilities were specifically praised, while the autofocus, exposure, and color also achieved high ratings. The Honor 30 Pro+ features a 50 megapixel primary sensor alongside a 16 megapixel ultra wide lens and 8 megapixel telephoto lens.

Arriving at the video scores, aspects like exposure, colors, and autofocus again received impressive ratings while the overall stabilization was one of the key highlights in this area. Videos were found to have detailed textures with natural colors. Notably, the smartphone is also capable of 4K (2160p) recording at 60fps, which is the current standard in flagship smartphones.

Overall, the Honor 30 Pro+ featured good dynamic range, textures, fast autofocus, and good stabilization. However, it did suffer from low saturations during low light scenarios and a loss of sharpness in a few pictures that were zoomed in. White balance was also an issue when capturing videoes, but the handset is still one of the best smartphones DxOMark has ever rated.

The upcoming smartphones are likely to arrive with 4,000mAh batteries that will have support for 40W fast charging technology. It was recently confirmed that the Honor 30 and 30 Pro will come packed with Kirin 985 and Kirin 990 SoC, respectively.

As per the reports, the Honor 30 Pro will have a primary Sony IMX700 lens whereas the vanilla model will flaunt a 40-megapixel lens. Both the phones will have 32-megapixel frontal shooters for taking selfies and video calling.

The Honor 30 is expected to arrive with 8GB of RAM while the Pro model could be available in 8GB as well as 12GB RAM versions, both offering 128GB and 256GB of internal storage options. The rest of the specs are believed to be identical on both phones.

Just like Huawei, Honor is launching a Pro+ model of its upcoming Honor 30 phone. This means we are getting three flagships – the Honor 30, Honor 30 Pro, and the Honor 30 Pro+. Ahead of the launch event on Wednesday, April 15, the prices for the different variants of the Honor 30 Pro+ have been leaked.

Based on the image, the Honor 30 Pro+ will come in three variants:

• 8GB RAM + 128GB
• 8GB RAM + 256GB
• 12GB RAM + 256GB

The base model will sell for ¥4999 (~$709) but if you want double the storage, Honor is asking for ¥5399 (~$766). For those who want the high-end version that packs 12GB of RAM, the price tag is ¥5799 (~$822). We advise you to take the above prices with a grain of salt as they have not been verified.

Based on the pricing, Honor is sticking to the tradition of offering more-affordable versions of Huawei’s own phones. For example, the Huawei P40 Pro+ with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage is priced at ¥7988 (~$1133).

The Honor 30 Pro+ will come with a 90Hz curved OLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner. Inside it will be the Kirin 990 5G processor.

In a few days, Huawei’s brand will officially unveil its new flagship lineup. We are talking about the Honor 30 and 30 Pro, two devices which, unlike the Huawei P40 series, will offer high-end specs sheet at modest prices. Despite the launch is still four days far, we got a lot of juicy details about the new flagships, even from official sources. In this article, we gathered all the leaked details, official info, and rumors about the Honor 30 series in order to give you a complete overview about them. Note that a lot of info surfaced about Honor 30 and 30 Pro is based on rumors, so, unless when we explicitly specify it, take everything with a pinch of salt.

Honor 30 and 30 Pro Rumor Roundup

Design

The design of the Honor 30 and 30 Pro has been largely unveiled thanks to leaked renders surfaced on the microblogging platform Weibo. The Honor 30 Pro will be launched in at least two color variants: blue and gray. But we are not talking about a normal gray color variant: it will be an attractive new silver color scheme. There will be a glass back housing a rectangle-shaped camera module that will include all the camera elements, as well as an aluminum frame like premium flagships. The Honor 30 Pro will have dimensions of 160.3 x 73.6 x 8.63 mm and it will weigh 190 grams. The phone will have chamfered sides and a curved display. The power key and the volume balancer will be placed on the right side of the device. On the front side, there will be a dual punch-hole display with a dual punch hole which seems smaller than the one on the Huawei P40 series. The camera module will have a golden accent, there will be a secondary microphone and an IR blaster at the top of the phone.

• You can read more about the design by clicking here.

Display

The Honor 30 series features a 6.57-inch OLED display with a Full HD+ resolution. Both the devices are expected to come with the same display diagonal, so there may not be a more compact device, unlike the Huawei P40 series. Inside the screen, we expect to see an in-display fingerprint scanner. Given that the dual punch hole is smaller compared to the Huawei P40 series, we expect it not to include additional sensors and a sensor 3D facial recognition.

• You can read more about the display by clicking here.

Specs & Hardware

As officially confirmed by the company, Honor 30 will be powered by the Kirin 985 chipset with 5G support. We still did not see any smartphone with this chipset. It is expected to be a toned-down version of the Kirin 990 which is currently the most advanced flagship chipset released by Huawei. The SoC will be paired with 8 GB of RAM. The Honor 30 Pro will be fueled by the Kirin 990 5G chipset, just like the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro. The RAM will be 8 or 12 GB depending on the chosen configuration. Android 10 will be obviously installed out of the box, customized by the Magic UI. But due to the U.S. ban, Honor 30 and 30 Pro won’t get Google services in the global market. They will ship with the new Huawei Mobile Services, including the new App Gallery which replaces the Play Store. An alleged unit of the Honor 30 Pro was spotted on Geekbench: the benchmarking platform recorded a score of 3876 points in single core performance and 12,571 points in multi core with a Kirin 990 5G chipset, 8 GB of RAM and Android 10.

• You can read more about the hardware by clicking here.

Camera

On its rear side, Honor 30 Pro will sport a quad camera setup. The main sensor will be a Sony IMX700 lens with a 50 MP resolution. Alongside the main sensor, there will be a periscopic lens with optical zoom, an ultrawide lens, and a TOF sensor. The ultrawide lens is rumored to have a 12 MP resolution, with 4in1 pixel binning just like the main sensor. The periscopic lens is said to come with an 8 MP resolution and up to 3x optical zoom. Not impressive like the Huawei P40 Pro and Pro+, but still above-average zoom capabilities. The primary sensor will support the Octa Phase Detection autofocus system borrowed from the P40 series. Overall, the camera department looks very promising. The vanilla Honor 30 will replace the Sony IMX700 lens with a 40 MP sensor. On the front, the two devices will sport a 32 MP selfie snapper paired with a secondary lens. There is still no info about the secondary sensor placed in the dual punch hole.

• You can read more about the cameras by clicking here.

Battery

In a world in which a lot of flagship feature batteries with capacities above 4000 mAh, Honor 30 Pro will offer a 3900 mAh battery. But this does not necessarily mean it will have below-average battery life. Huawei improved a lot at optimizing energy consumption, so despite the higher consumption of 5G network, Honor 30 Pro may still offer a pretty nice battery life. The battery will support 40W fast charging, not the fastest wired charging technology, but still very fast, especially for a 3900 mAh battery.

Honor 30 and 30 Pro – Launch, Price and Availability

Honor 30 and 30 Pro will be officially announced on April 15. The affordable variant of the lineup already debuted under the Honor 30S moniker, but it has nothing to do with the upcoming flagships. The launch date poster shared by the company features the Chinese actor Li-Xian who will be the ambassador of the new event. The smartphones will be initially launched in the Chinese market. Unfortunately, the company did not reveal any detail about the pricing. We can only tell you that Honor 20 started at $560, while Honor 20 Pro had a starting price of about $670: we expect the new devices to carry similar prices.

Huawei was the first to introduce ‘Moon Mode’ in P30 Pro early last year to click images of the moon. The company even marketed this feature in a number of teasers and advertisements, including a special one at the end of Avengers Endgame movie in selected theatres.

Following the footsteps of its parent company, Honor seems to be also adding the ‘Moon Mode’ in its forthcoming Honor 30 Pro smartphone. The brand has shared two camera samples from the phone teasing the prowess of its new improved camera setup.

Out of the two pictures, one looks to be shot from the main sensor, which as per the previous render leak, could be the 50MP Sony IMX700 from the Huawei P40 series. Whereas, the second closeup picture of the super moon is definitely from the periscope camera, which was also confirmed by the same render leak.

Though we cannot judge the phone’s camera performance simply from the samples shared by the brand, they do look impressive anyway. Honor 30 Pro will officially launch on April 15 but the device has already leaked multiple times confirming most of its specs. The recent TENAA listing of the device is more than enough to know about it wholly.
