Recent information hints at the launch of the Honor X10 Max along with the Honor 30 Youth Edition on July 2 in China. Ahead of the launch, the Honor 30 Youth Edition has been certified by China’s telecoms regulatory agency TENAA. The images of the device are all we got from the source.

An image of the Honor 30 Youth Edition (Lite) had earlier leaked revealing the rear design of the 5G model. This time around, we get to see the font design of the mid-range model as well as what lies on the sides. From the image, we can understand that the model will feature a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera. At the rear, there will be a triple camera setup mounted on a rectangular module at the top left corner of the back panel.

The Honor 30 Lite 5G is expected to feature a 6.5-inch display with Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels. The display will also have a tall aspect ratio of 20:9, and a refresh rate of 90Hz.

Huawei‘s sub-brand Honor is reportedly gearing up to launch two new smartphones in its home market of China. As per the reports, the company could launch Honor X10 Max and the Honor 30 Youth Edition next month.

While the exact launch date for these two upcoming devices has not been revealed yet, they will reportedly get launched in early July. If that’s the case, then we expect the company to start hinting or make an announcement in the coming days.

Previous leaks have indicated that the Honor X10 Max features a 7.09-inch display with support for DCI-P3 wide color gamut. Since there’s no punch-hole cutout visible, it’s safe to assume that the phone will have a pop-up mechanism for the front camera.

When the phone gets launched, it could become the biggest 5G smartphone of the year with a massive 7-inch screen. The device is expected to come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 800 5G processor.

Although it is said that the Honor 30 Youth Edition and the Honor X10 Max will get launched next month, there’s currently no launch date information about the Honor X10 Pro 5G smartphone. We expect the company to share more information about the phone and reveal the launch date in the coming days.

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.
