Honor today held a launch event where it officially unveiled the Honor X30 premium mid-range smartphone. The X30 was unveiled alongside the Honor Play 30 Plus 5G, yet another premium mid-ranger. 

The Honor X30 is the vanilla variant of the X30 Max and X30i that were released in October this year. The new model packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset which is a 6nm SoC with support for 5G connectivity. The processor pairs with 12GB RAM on the top end version but there is a 6GB RAM version. For storage, there are 128GB and 256GB storage options.

The X30 packs a 6.8-inch IPS LCD screen with an FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2388-pixel. The display also comes with support for a 120Hz refresh rate. The display utilizes a punch-hole design under which sits a 16MP selfie shooter.

At the rear, the vanilla X30 features Honor’s iconic ring camera design with a wide circumference just like that of the Magic 3. The module holds a triple camera setup consisting of a 48MP main shooter. There is also a 2MP depth sensor and a 2MP macro camera.

Keeping the lights on is a decent 4,800mAh battery with support for 66W fast charging that is capable of delivering a charging progression of 0-80% in just 30 minutes. For interface, the X30 runs on Honor’s proprietary Magic UI 5.0 based on Android 11.

Talking of the pricing and availability, the Honor X30 is priced at 1,499 yuan (~$235) for the 6GB+128GB variant while the higher 12GB + 256GB version is priced at 2,299 yuan (~$361). The device will be available in four colors – black, silver, gold, and blue. It is scheduled to go on sale in China from December 24. There is no word yet on the global release.
