Honor Mobile officially launched the new Honor X30i smartphone through a product launch event held this afternoon. Its main highlight is its design which is quite boxy, not unlike the iPhone 13 series, and its slim and light build. The phone weighs just 175g and has a thickness of 7.45mm.

The weight is quite less for a device with a large 6.7-inch LCD display. Devices of such size have lately begun crossing the 200g mark, so the Honor X30i one should feel like a breath of fresh air. The display has a 2388×1080 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It is surrounded by extremely thin bezels granting the device a 93.6% screen-to-body ratio.

The frame of the mobile phone is made of customized high-strength lightweight aluminum alloy, which has been chamfered to improve grip. The slim 7.45mm profile has been achieved by the use of a multi-layer polyurethane composite ultra-thin screen and a low-dielectric ultra-thin PCB circuit board.

In terms of performance, the Honor X30i is equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G chip, fabricated using a 6nm process. The chip features 2×2.5GHz A76 power cores and 6×2.0GHz A55 battery-efficient cores (big.LITTLE). The chip is backed by GPU Turbo X and Link Turbo X technology to enhance the game and call performance.

The Honor X30i’s battery capacity stands at 4000mAh with support for 22.5W fast charging.

For photography, the phone has a 48MP main camera on the rear that’s complemented by a 2MP depth-of-field lens and a 2MP macro lens. The phone also sports a super night scene shooting function, intelligent multi-frame synthesis algorithm, and a vlog function for recording through both front and rear cameras at the same time.

The memory capacity of Honor X30i starts at 6GB, which can be expanded to 8GB using the memory expansion feature. The prices of all of its variants have been listed below:

• 6GB+128GB (1399 Yuan / ~$219)
• 8GB+ 128GB (1699 Yuan / ~$265)
• 8GB+256GB (1899 Yuan / ~$297)

The phone is currently only available for pre-orders in China. It will be going live commercially from November 5. An announcement for a global launch hasn’t been made yet.
