Today, Realme announced the most affordable 5G phone to date. We are talking about the Realme V5: despite its incredibly affordable price, this handset packs amazing specifications. It is definitely a best-buy, but is it the device with the highest value for money out there? We think there is no better way to establish it than comparing it with the other affordable 5G phones in the market. And among the most affordable one, we got the Honor X10 by Huawei’s brand and the Redmi 10X by Xiaomi. Let’s discover together which one is the most interesting.

Realme V5 5G vs Huawei Honor X10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X

Design

Redmi 10X has a more classic and less attractive design than its rivals, but it comes with very high build quality. Indeed, it sports a glass back just like premium handsets. Further, the rear glass and the display are protected by Gorilla Glass 5 by Corning. You do not get such a great build quality with the Honor X10 and Realme V5, but they have a more attractive look: in the first case, you get a full-screen display with a pop-up front camera, while in the second case there is a punch-hole display. Make your choice depending on your tastes and needs.

Display

My favorite display belongs to the Redmi 10X and I think a lot of people would agree with me. It does not have a 90 Hz refresh rate like the Honor X10 and the Realme V5, but it is the only one with an AMOLED display and it even comes with the HDR10+ certification for better image quality. Last but not least, it has very high brightness, so it is visible under sunlight. With the Realme V5 and the Honor X10, you get an IPS display, but they have a high 90 Hz refresh rate which allows having a smoother viewing experience and better gameplay.

Specs & Software

One of the strongest points of the Redmi 10X is the hardware department: it has the most powerful chipset under the hood. We are referring to the Dimensity 820 boasting high CPU and GPU performance. The handset also packs up to 8 GB of RAM. But note that the Honor X10 is very close with its Kirin 820 5G; it does not seem a case that the two chipsets are identified by the same number. Unfortunately, the Realme V5 has an inferior Dimensity 720 SoC, so you will get inferior performances overall. Android 10 is installed out of the box in each case, with a customized user interface on top.

Camera

The most impressive camera department belongs to the Honor X10 which packs a great 40 MP main sensor for its rear camera setup. Right after, we got the Realme V5, at least on the paper. But we have to test it thoroughly in order to establish whether its camera is really valid: given that it went official today, we had no chance to do it. Redmi 10X has a similar camera department to the Realme V5, but it lacks the macro camera and it just comes with three sensors on the rear side.

Battery

The key feature of the Realme V5 is a huge 5000 mAh battery which will allow it to last a lot more than its rivals on a single charge. It even comes with a faster charging technology, with a power of 30W. Right after, we got the Redmi 10X with a 4520 mAh battery and an efficient AMOLED display.

Price

Realme V5 is priced just €183/$215 in its base variant and it wins the value for money comparison. Redmi 10X starts from €238/$280 and it offers a better display and better hardware, so it is slightly superior to its opponents overall. Honor X10 has better cameras and it sits in the middle in terms of hardware, but it starts from €271/$319.

OPPO just launched its most affordable 5G phone ever: the OPPO A72 5G. Finally, even this company released a very affordable device with the support of 5G connectivity. The handset debuted in the Chinese market, where you can actually find a lot of very affordable phones with 5G. Is it really the best choice in the market or there is something better? In order to find it out, we decided to compare it with two handsets which are currently very affordable but they still support 5G: the Honor X10 and the Redmi 10X which are the latest offerings by Xiaomi and Huawei in the low-end segment. After reading this comparison, you can let us know your impressions by using the comment box.

OPPO A72 5G vs Huawei Honor X10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X

Design

Which design you should go for? In this case, it mostly depends on your tastes. Do you prefer having a beautiful look or a better build quality? If you like to have a modern and futuristic look, maybe OPPO A72 5G and Honor X10 5G are better choices for you. The former features a punch-hole design to get rid of bezels around the display, while the latter has a full-screen display thanks to a motorized pop-up camera. The Honor X10 also comes with a higher screen-to-body ratio. On the other hand, Redmi 10X offers a glass back for a more premium build quality. The glass back is protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass 5, just like the display.

Display

The most stunning display belongs to the Redmi 10X. Despite being a very affordable device, it is one of the few to feature an AMOLED panel with more brilliant colors and deeper blacks than a typical IPS panel. Further, it features the HDR10+ certification for better image quality, especially on streaming platforms. The handset even comes with very high brightness: 600 nits, according to the company. OPPO A72 5G and Honor X10 are equipped with average IPS panels with a Full HD+ resolution, but they feature a high 90 Hz refresh rate. But given that Redmi 10X has a better image quality, we would not mind about its standard refresh rate.

Specs & Software

If you need the highest performance, choose the Honor X10. It is fueled by the Kirin 820 5G chipset which can be compared to the Snapdragon 765G in terms of CPU and GPU performance. You also get up to 8 GB of RAM. The silver medal goes to the Redmi 10X sporting a Dimensity 820 processor paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of native storage. The OPPO A72 5G is the first phone with the Dimensity 720, but it is an inferior chipset to Kirin 820 5G and Dimensity 820. With Oppo A72 5G, Redmi 10X, and Honor X10, you get a highly-customized user interface based on Android 10.

Camera

According to the specs on the paper, the best camera quality should be provided by the OPPO A72 5G and Honor X10. It is still too early to give a definitive verdict since we did not test both the devices. But we can tell you that the sensors of the Redmi 10X are actually inferior to both OPPO A72 5G and Honor X10.

Battery

The Redmi 10X has the biggest battery and, thanks to its more efficient display and its higher battery capacity, it will last a lot more than its two rivals on a single charge. The Honor X10 comes right after with its 4300 mAh battery and 7 nm chipset. But we do not expect the OPPO A72 5G to be disappointing.

Price

Honor X10 has a €274/$319 starting price, Redmi 10X starts from €240/$280, and OPPO A72 5G costs €230/$197. Despite being more affordable, Redmi 10X is the best choice of this comparison for those who need a better display and longer battery life. But if you want better cameras and hardware, you should choose the Honor X10. With its great cameras and stereo speakers, the OPPO A72 5G sits in the middle and it will probably be a better option for a lot of people if it hits the global market, given that Huawei devices lack Google services.

Honor announced its large screen flagship, the Honor X10 Max in China today. This is the company’s largest smartphone in 2020 featuring a massive 7.09-inch display, ideal for entertainment and gaming. The phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 800 chipset, making it the third such Huawei/ Honor device in the past few weeks.

Honor X10 Max 5G Design & Display

The phone follows a similar design scheme as the Honor X10 that was announced back in May. This includes a rectangular camera housing and a slightly curved back. However, instead of a pop-up selfie camera like the Honor X10, the Max features a traditional waterdrop display on the screen. In case you are wondering, the Max retains the 3.5mm headphone jack as well as the side-mounted fingerprint (power button) similar to its smaller sibling.

The Honor X10 Max measures 174.37 x 84.91 x 8.3mm and weighs 227 grams. Clearly it’s not going to be a device for one-handed use. But still, the company has managed to shave off some bezels on the new model. If you recall, the 2018 Honor 8X Max with a 7-inch+ display had a slightly larger form factor: 177.6 x 86.3 x 8.1 mm.

You get a large 7.09-inch IPS LCD display with 1080p resolution. The LCD panel supports 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and HDR10. It’s pretty bright as well with a peak brightness of 780 nits.

The Honor X10 Max comes with an RGBW panel instead of the traditional RGB. The additional W – white subpixels will reduce the power consumption of the panel when white is being displayed. Therefore, Honor claims that by using an RBGW panel, the X10 Max will ensure reduced power consumption as compared to traditional LCD panel phones. The panel also filters out harmful Blue light (415-455nm) via software.

Note that the display doesn’t support a high refresh rate. So it’s a standard 60Hz panel.

Honor X10 Max Hardware

Under the hood, the Honor X10 Max is powered by the Dimensity 800 5G chipset. You get to choose between 6GB RAM and 8GB RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. It’s clear that the company is looking to keep the price low as you don’t even get a 256GB ROM option.

The primary camera on the phone is a 48MP shooter that’s paired with an 8MP ultrawide and 2MP depth sensor. Up front, you get an 8MP selfie shooter on the waterdrop notch.

Given the humongous size of the screen, the phone features an appropriately sized battery too. You get a 5000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging, much larger than X10’s 4300mAh capacity.

The Honor X10 Max also features dual 1217 linear stereo speakers with smart PA for amplifying its sound. The phone also supports Huawei Histen 6.1 sound.

Other features include 802.11 ca Wi-Fi, AGPS, Glonass, Beidou, and NFC.

Honor X10 Max Price & Availability

The Honor X10 Max comes in three colors: Racing Blue, Black, and Silver. There are three variants of the device and the pricing is as follows.

• 6GB + 64GB – ¥1899 (~$269)
• 6GB + 128GB – ¥2099 (~$297)
• 8GB + 128GB – ¥2499 (~$354)

The Honor X10 Max will go on sale on July 3 across all major retailers in China.

Huawei launched another 5G midrange phone in China: the Enjoy 20 Pro. A handset offering a dual-mode 5G modem at a very affordable price. But it is not the only affordable 5G phone out there. There are plenty of other interesting handsets offering complete support to fifth-generation networks. Among the latest ones sold at great prices, we got the Redmi 10X Pro and the Honor X10. Here is a comparison in which we highlighted the main differences between the specifications of Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro, Redmi 10X Pro, and Honor X10 in order to let you know which one is the most suitable for your actual needs.

Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X Pro vs Huawei Honor X10

Design

The design of the Honor X10 5G is very attractive because it offers a full-screen display thanks to the presence of a motorized pop-up camera. Both Redmi 10X Pro and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro come with an annoying waterdrop notch on the front panel. But the Redmi 10X Pro has a glass back protected by Gorilla Glass 5, so its build quality is actually better. Would you prefer getting a full-screen display like the panel of the Honor X10 or more premium materials like the ones of the Redmi 10X Pro?

Display

If you prefer having a better image quality, you should go for the Redmi 10X Pro since it is the only device of this trio sporting an AMOLED display, as well as the HDR10+ certification. Instead, if you are a gamer or you want a smoother viewing experience, choose the Honor X10 5G since it comes with a high 90 Hz refresh rate. Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro has a 90 Hz refresh rate as well, but the quality of the IPS panel found on the Honor X10 5G is actually superior.

Specs & Software

The Dimensity 820 chipset found on the Redmi 10X Pro 5G is the most powerful SoC in this comparison. It is also paired with a higher amount of internal storage: up to 256 GB, while Honor X10 and Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro come with max 128 GB. In each case, you get up to 8 GB of RAM. The second place goes to the Honor X10 since the Kirin 820 is better than the Dimensity 800 of the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro.

Camera

On the camera side, it is a hard fight between the Redmi 10X Pro 5G and Honor X10 5G. The former has better secondary sensors, including a telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom. Honor X10 5G lacks a telephoto sensor, but it has an awesome 40 MP sensor providing a great photo quality. If you need the best camera phone, just do not choose the Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro which is like a Redmi 10X Pro without a telephoto lens and with worse secondary sensors.

Battery

Redmi 10X Pro 5G will most likely last more on a single charge for two reasons. First, it features a bigger 4520 mAh battery. Further, it has a more efficient display due to the AMOLED technology and its lower refresh rate. Redmi 10X Pro 5G is the winner even when it comes to fast charging: it can be charged with a 33W power. On the other hand, the Honor X10 5G is the only to support reverse charging (wired).

Price

Redmi 10X Pro 5G has a €290/$324 listing price in China for its base variant with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Honor X10 5G starts from €285/$319 in the 6/64 GB configuration, while Huawei Enjoy 20 Pro has a starting price of €250/$280 for the version with 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of native storage. Redmi 10X Pro 5G wins the comparison due to its premium build quality, better hardware, great cameras, AMOLED display, and longer battery life.

It is becoming every day easier to find very affordable smartphones with the support to 5G connectivity. In this article, we are comparing the latest affordable 5G devices which are also among the cheapest 5G phones released until now. Their names are similar and so are their specifications, that is why we chose them for this comparison: we are talking about Honor X10 and Redmi 10X. Both devices released by “sub-brands” and both with midrange specifications. But who is the best? Let’s discover it together with an in-depth specs comparison.

Huawei Honor X10 vs Xiaomi Redmi 10X

Design

Honor X10 5G distinguishes from most of the affordable phones out there for providing a full screen display with no notch or holes. Indeed, it is equipped with a pop-up front camera popping up thanks to a motorized mechanism. That is why it has a more attractive design than Redmi 10X. On the other hand, Redmi 10X 5G still comes with a very high screen-to-body ratio (but it has a waterdrop notch) and it is even well built. It comes with a glass back and it is splash resistant, while Honor X10 does not offer protections against water and liquids.

Display

If you are a gamer or you just prefer having a smoother viewing experience, you should go for the Honor X10 as it offers a high 90 Hz refresh rate. But if you want the best image quality, choose the Redmi 10X as it offers an AMOLED panel instead of an IPS one, as well as the HDR10+ certification. Honor X10 has a slightly wider display, but that is just a minimal difference. Both come with a 20:9 aspect ratio, but while Redmi 10X has a notched display, Honor 10X has a full screen panel thanks to a pop-up camera. Do you prefer a high refresh rate or a better image quality?

Specs & Software

Just like the number that identifies them is the same, the performances of the Kirin 820 5G and the Mediatek Dimensity 820 chipsets found on Honor X10 5G and Redmi 10X 5G are very similar. The Dimensity 820 has slightly better results on AnTuTu benchmarks (410K points against 380K points scored by the Kirin 820 5G), but on Geekbench the Kirin 820 takes the crown. The two handsets are equipped with up to 8 GB of RAM but Redmi 10X provides up to 256 GB of internal storage, while Honor X10 stops at 128 GB. Honor X10 and Redmi 10X run Android 10 customized by EMUI and MIUI, respectively. Global customers will not get Google services with the Honor 10X. The handsets support 5G connectivity in its sub-6 GHz frequencies.

Camera

You should get a very close photo quality with Honor X10 and Redmi 10X, and they are not among the best camera phones, neither in the midrange segment. They boast a triple camera setup composed of a 48 MP main sensor (40 MP on the Honor 10X), an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a 2 MP depth sensor. On the front side, they both have a 16 MP selfie snapper. You should get a pretty nice camera quality, but nothing special compared to the other devices you can find at the same price.

Battery

Redmi 10X has a bigger battery than Honor 10X: we are talking about 4520 mAh against 4300 mAh. And given that both the chipsets are built at 7 nm, both the phones support 5G, and Redmi 10X has a more efficient (and smaller) AMOLED display, we believe that Redmi 10X 5G will last more on a single charge. Note that our opinion is only based on the specs and we still did not test the battery life of these devices. Also note that Honor X10 is still a good battery phone and, unlike Redmi 10X 5G, it supports reverse charging.

Price

Honor X10 and Redmi 10X 5G launched in the Chinese market and both the companies are yet to launch them globally. The base variant of the Honor X10 carries a price tag of 1899 Yuan in China, which roughly translates into $267. The Redmi 10X 5G starts from just 1599 Yuan (approx. $225). The Honor 10X actually offers a higher refresh rate, a full screen design, and reverse charging, but Redmi has an amazing AMOLED HDR10+ display and a bigger battery, as well as a glass back, an infrared port, and a splash proof body making it slightly more interesting. Which one would you pick?

Honor X10 launched this Wednesday in China as the brand’s cheapest 5G smartphone at 1,899 Yuan ($266). Now, three days later, the company announces Honor X10 Crazyracing Kartrider Gift Box. Interestingly, it cannot be bought directly, rather customers pre-ordering and ordering the Honor X10 from TMall will be selected based on certain criteria.

Earlier today, Honor announced Crazyracing Kartrider Gift Box for Honor X10. The limited-edition gift box will include toys and stuff from the video game.

This box will be given away to top 100 pre-ordering customers daily from May 20 till 25 and top 200 customers who order the phone in the first sale (May 26) on TMall. Additionally, other customers purchasing the handset from the livestream sale page on May 26 will also be eligible to win the gift box.

But the brand did not announce the total number of winners they will choose. However, TMall does mentions that Honor X10 and the Crazyracing Kartrider Gift Box will be shipped separately.

As for the Honor X10, it comes powered by Kirin 820 SoC with support for 5G connectivity. The handset sports a 6.59-inch full-screen FHD+ IPS LCD panel with 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate.

After the launch conference of the Honor X10 yesterday (20th May 2020), Zhao Ming, President of Honor’s Busines Unit, stated in an interview that that company will launch other smartphone models in their new X series, which may be the X10 Pro or X10 Plus.

The senior official accepted interviews online after the announcement and made certain interesting statements as well. When talking more in depth regarding the X series and Play series of smartphones, Zhao said that the update cycle related to both the X series and Play series is already decided. He cleared out that the X series is completely different from the Honor 9X and 9X Pro, with the “X” moniker being on the front suggesting that.

Furthermore, this new lineup starting from the Honor X10 will soon be joined by other models in the smartphone family. Rather, a similar strategy is being considered for the Honor V series, N series, and Play series as well. Zhao Ming hinted at a possible existence and future launch of the X10 Pro or X10 Plus by giving an example of the Play 4T and Play 4T Pro. In other words, confirming the existence of a more premium entry that will launch at a later date.

The post Honor will launch more models in the X series, like the X10 Pro or X10 Plus appeared first on Gizmochina.

Earlier today, Honor finally announced the Honor X10 in China after days of leaks and teasers. At the launch event, the brand’s president George Zhao aka Zhao Ming revealed that the company has so far sold over 80 million Honor X series phones worldwide.

Honor has been selling Honor X series of smartphone from late 2013. The first phone in the series was Honor 3X, a rebranded Huawei Ascend G750. It has been later followed by newer models every year since then. We even got to see some Pro and Max versions along the way.

The Honor X10 launched today is the first 5G model in the series. Thus, at the beginning of the keynote, Mr Zhao recalled the series as a whole. He pointed out that they have sold over 80 million Honor X series phones worldwide since its inception.

We feel the count could have been more if the brand had launched Honor 9X series globally since this series alone shipped 10 million units in China. The original Honor 9X Pro did launch in India recently but without GMS (Google Mobile Services), it will be a tough sell in the country.

On the other hand, Huawei US ban has been further extended for a year along with restrictions to chip supplies. This will impact the Chinese telecom giant including its Honor sub-brand severely. 

The sales of Huawei / Honor smartphones worldwide are expected to go down rather improve going by the current situation.

Honor has scheduled a launch event in China on 20th May where the company will be officially launching its Honor X10 series smartphones. The brand has been teasing some key features of the phone on social media and in the latest update, Honor has shared details about a key connectivity feature.

The company has today confirmed that the upcoming Honor X10 will come with Huawei Super Uplink (SUL) 5G technology to offer comprehensive experience. The technology was first unveiled as a join innovation by Huawei and China Telecom at MWC 2019 Shanghai.

The laboratory test results show that the technology can increase the uplink rate by 20-100 percent in a good network environment and can improve the edge uplink rate experience by around 412 percent.

The technology allows 5G networks to increase uplink bandwidth while further reducing latency through TDD/FDD coordination, complementation between high and low frequency bands, and time-domain/frequency-domain aggregation.

The usage of this new technology is in addition with support for nine frequency bands in China. Honor‘s Vice President for Business Development says that the technology can optimise TDD/FDD spectrum frequency coordination, high frequency/low frequency complementation, time domain/frequency domain aggregation to further improve the network’s uplink capacity and reduce delay.

The Honor X10 is an upcoming smartphone from Honor. The device will launch on May 20 and there is practically no info we do not know about it already. Ahead of the launch on Wednesday, live photos of the phone have leaked, giving us another look at the device.

A leaked render already revealed Honor X10 will be available in four color variants which are black, white, blue, and orange. However, the live images below show only three.

The Honor X10 appears to be covered in glass on the back which is curved at the sides. The glass is reflective as seen in the images above. The camera housing protrudes and is black on all color variants.

The second image gives us a closer look at the camera housing. There are three cameras in total and they are arranged vertically while the LED flash sits at the top right corner. The words “SUPER NIGHT VISION” are printed below the flash and beneath the camera housing is also a printed text that reads “RYYB 1:1.8/26 ASPH”, confirming the phone indeed has an RYYB sensor.

The Honor X10 will launch with a 6.63-inch LCD screen with a selfie camera that pops up from the left side of the frame. The display has an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate.

Inside the phone is a Kirin 820 5G chipset with 6GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage. The rear cameras are a 40MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie camera is a 16MP sensor.

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.

The Honor X10 5G smartphone debuting on May 20 in China is speculated to arrive as the company’s cheapest 5G smartphone. The first rumors of the Honor X10 had revealed that it will be equipped with an RYYB sensor for better photography even in low-light conditions.

The below-shown camera shots that were captured around 2 AM at Mount Everest shows how good the X10 can be at shooting photos in extreme low-light conditions. The camera samples do suggest that the X10 will offer better photography experience than its competitor models in the same price segment. Honor is yet to confirm the existence of Honor X10 Pro. Rumors have it that the X10 Pro will come with OIS support for the same main camera.

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 will be announced next week on May 20. Ahead of it, the brand has started teasing the features on Weibo. But even before the company could reveal any important aspect of the handset, a Chinese blogger has leaked the press renders as well as the primary specifications of the upcoming Honor X10 and Honor X10 Pro.

Almost all the specifications of standard Honor X10 were already out but this is the first time we are hearing about the Honor X10 Pro. The two models only differ in display refresh rate, camera setup and charging.

Honor X10 and Honor X10 Pro Specifications

According to the leaked spec sheet, both the handsets will be powered by Kirin 820 5G SoC (2.36GHz) paired with Mali-G7 GPU. They will feature a same 16MP pop-up selfie camera and a 4,200mAh battery with support for 22.5W wired charging.

Talking about dissimilarities, although both will sport a 6.63-inch LCD panel, only the Pro will have 90Hz refresh rate. As for cameras, the duo will feature triple camera setup with common 40MP RYYB sensor and 8MP ultra-wide camera. But the third camera on both the handsets is different from each other.

The standard Honor X10 will come with a macro camera, whereas the Honor X10 Pro will feature an 8MP periscope telephoto camera. Additionally, the Pro variant will have OIS (primary sensor) and will support 20W wireless charging.

Going by the specs of the Honor X10 series, it will be probably one of the best mid-range 5G smartphone duos of 2020.

Honor will be launching the Honor X10 on May 20. Ahead of it, the brand has started teasing the features as expected. A teaser posted on Weibo earlier today confirms the Honor X10 to come with 9 5G bands. When it will launch, it will be the cheapest smartphone with such a characteristic.

Honor X10 is expected to be the most affordable 5G smartphone from Huawei. Almost all of the specifications of the handset are out, thanks to the Chinese certification agency TENAA and leakers. Additionally, even the brand’s president George Zhao has teased some of the specs.

But now, Honor’s official Weibo account has started posting teasers, which we believe will continue till the day of the launch. The first set of teasers did not reveal much about the handset.

However, today’s teaser disclosed the Honor 10X to feature 9 5G bands, which is about double the bands seen on standard 5G-enabled smartphones.

According to the teaser poster, the upcoming Honor 10X will come with the following 5G bands.

• N1
• N3
• N38
• N41
• N77
• N78
• N79
• N80
• N84

Honor calls this device as a ‘universal key’ to 5G world. It will work on all the three carriers in China as well as on at least one carrier in most countries with 5G infrastructure.

We expect the brand to spill more info about the Honor X10 confirming the already known specs such as Kirin 820, graphene cooling system, 6.63-inch FHD+ IPS LCD panel, pop-up camera, Sony IMX600 RYB sensor, 4,200 mAh battery, 22.5W fast charging, and more.

The source of the leak is @Really Assen, the same source that posted the spec sheet for the upcoming Huawei Enjoy 20 Plus. The spec sheet shows the two phones will share several features including the display type, processor, and battery capacity.

Honor X10 Specifications and Price

The spec sheet says the phone will pack a display with a 2400 x 1080 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. The Honor X10 will have a Kirin 820 processor which means it will have support for 5G.  The chipset will be paired with 6GB of RAM and will be available in 64GB and 128GB variants.

Honor’s George Zhao has confirmed to launch Hono X10 on May 20. The brand is yet to begin marketing for the handset with daily teasers, which we think will probably start next week. Ahead of it, we are exposed to a 3D CAD image showcasing cooling system of Honor X10.

We are aware of most of the specifications of the upcoming Honor X10. Now, we also know that it will feature a graphene cooling system, thanks to a picture shared by well-known tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo. According to him, this could be the same kind of tech use in Huawei’s Mate series.

The Honor X10 is expected to be the cheapest 5G phone from Huawei. The handsets with 5G connectivity usually get warmer and consume more battery than normal 4G devices. Hence, a graphene-based cooling system can make a difference in the overall thermal performance of the phone.

As far as specs are concerned, the Honor X10 will sport a 6.63-inch FHD+ LCD screen with a 16MP pop-up camera. It will be powered by Kirin 820 5G chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB internal storage.

It will feature a 40MP (primary) + 8MP (ultra-wide)  + 2MP  triple camera setup, out of which the primary unit is expected to be a Sony IMX600 RYYB sensor. Last but not least, the handset will be backed by a 4,200 mAh battery with support for 22.5W fast charging over USB Type-C.

Huawei’s sub-brand Honor is all set to launch its new Honor X10 5G smartphone in China on 20th May. Ahead of the launch, key specifications and features of the upcoming device have been surfacing online. In the latest development, the camera samples of the smartphone from Everest expedition have been released by the company.

Honor says that Li Pau and Cai Qing from 2020 Everest Survey Mountaineering Team took some stunning images using the Honor 30 Pro Plus and the upcoming Honor X10 5G. Here are the images captured using the new Honor X10 5G smartphone.

The smartphone is expected to come with a triple-camera setup on the back consisting of a 40-megapixel primary sensor, an 8-megapixel secondary lens, and a 2-megapixel tertiary sensor. For the main lens, the company is expected to use Sony IMX600y custom sensor.

On the front side, the device is said to be equipped with a 16-megapixel snapper housed inside a pop-up camera module. The smartphone will reportedly come with a 6.63-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with 20:9 aspect ratio and without any notches.

Under the hood, it will be powered by the company’s own Kirin 820 5G chipset, along with 4/6/8 GB of RAM and 64/128/256 GB internal storage. The phone houses a 4,200mAh battery that supports 22.5W fast charging through USB Type-C port.

The Honor X10 5G is expected to be the cheapest 5G-compatible smartphone from the company and is likely to be priced around 2,000 yuan which roughly converts to $282. To know for sure, we’ll have to wait for the official launch on 20th May.

Honor’s George Zhao announced Honor X10 launch to take place on May 20. It will be the first phone in the series to support 5G connectivity. Apart from the launch date, the brand is yet to reveal any of the handset’s features. But a recent picture posted by Mr Zhao does tease a lot about this phone as well as new MagicBook 14.

Honor X10 Features Hinted by George Zhao

Looking at the picture shared by Mr Zhao, we can speculate a lot of things about the Honor X10. First and the foremost, the picture could have been shot on the phone itself as the post is indeed shared from Honor X10 according to Weibo.

Further, the caption of the post reads the team that worked on Honor X10 has sent Mr Zhao ‘two gifts with deep meaning’. We are not sure what are those two presents but we clearly recognize certain hints in the image.

We can notice four flowers arranged in Red, Yellow, Yellow, and Blue colors. This somewhat confirms a previous leak which suggested the handset to feature Sony IMX600Y RYYB sensor. Then, there’s a bottle cap, which could only mean one thing, the return of the pop-up camera from the previous generation.

Also, the picture includes a book with a fingerprint-like pattern and a square cut-out in the middle suggesting an in-screen fingerprint sensor. Adding more flair to it, an Honor 30 Pro also sits on the desk with AOD displaying 10 ’Oclock. Is the executive teasing OLED display for Honor X10?

According to TENAA, the phone is expected to sport 6.63-inch FHD+ LCD panel and hence the chances of having the above-mentioned features are low. But Huawei has been already working on LCD in-display fingerprint sensor for a while now. Also, AOD on LCD has been possible for years and the best example is ‘Moto Display’ and the stock ‘Ambient Display’ feature on Android Lollipop.

Honor MagicBook 14 with 10th Gen Intel Processors

Then, the picture also showcases an AMD-powered MagicBook 14 placed on the desk as well as a laptop box with Intel logo at the door. For the unware, Honor recently updated the 15-inch model with 10th Gen Intel processors and hence we think the 14-inch might get a similar treatment.

A leak from a couple of days back also suggested the release of several other products like a router, tablet, and smart TV, in addition to laptop at the Honor Smart Life Product Launch, which has been now confirmed to take place on May 18.

Anyway, we will know more about the new products, especially the Honor X10 when the brand will start posting teasers daily leading up to the day of the launch.

Last year in July, Honor had launched the Honor 9X and Honor 9X Pro smartphones in China. Recent reports have revealed that the Chinese manufacturer is now working on the launch of the successor models. While there is no information available on the existence of the Honor 10X Pro, a recent report claimed that the Honor 10X could be the cheapest 5G phone form the company. Some findings from the official Huawei forums site suggest that the device may not launch as Honor 10X. Instead, it may arrive as Honor X10.

A screenshot from Huawei’s forum site reveals that there is a thread for the Honor X10 phone. We tried searching with the same name on the forum site, but the dedicated thread could not be found. Multiple Weibo users have including has claimed the Honor 10x will be renamed as Honor 10X. A reliable tipster from China has also claimed the same.

The probable reason why Honor may name its next X-series as Honor X10 is that competitor brand Redmi is also gearing to launch a phone with similar moniker. The unannounced Redmi 10X 4G is already listed with its specifications and pricing on the database of China Telecom’s product library. Honor may want to avoid to confusion between the two devices among the consumers.
