Vivo and Samsung reportedly have a joint 5G AI media conference on November 7. Now, a popular blogger from China revealed that Vivo could announce the new Vivo X30 5G smartphone at this media event. The X30 will likely be the first smartphone to feature Samsung’s Exynos 980 upper mid-range processor with an integrated 5G modem.

We have been hearing about the Vivo X30 5G for the past few days. It was earlier reported that the phone will launch in December, but after today’s post, we may see it as soon as November. The X30 5G will reportedly support both NSA (non-standalone) and SA (standalone) 5G dual-mode networks, all thanks to the Exynos 980 chipset inside. Given its naming scheme, the phone should likely be marketed as a relatively affordable 5G option, placed below the flagship Vivo NEX 3 5G.

According to previous reports, the Vivo X30 should come with a pop-up selfie camera along with a full-screen waterfall display, similar to the NEX 3. Other expected features include a triple camera setup at the back and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

If the X30 is really launching on November 7, expect a lot more details in the coming days.

Honor doesn’t have a 5G smartphone in China yet, but that’s going to change very soon. Honor President Zhao Ming recently confirmed that the Honor V30 was going to be the first 5G smartphone from the brand. What’s more, it is also confirmed that the Honor V30 launch is scheduled for November 2019.

Honor didn’t give out an official launch date for the V30, but since it’s coming in November, expect an official announcement soon. Zhao also confirmed in a recent interview with Chinese media that the new model would support both Non-Stand Alone (NSA) and Stand Alone (SA) modes, essentially future-proofing the device.
The Honor V30 is reportedly coming in two variants, the Honor V30 and the V30 Pro. Both the models will likely feature punch-hole cameras, with the Pro model reportedly getting dual front-facing shooters.
The cameras on both devices will be quite powerful. The V30 should come with a 60MP primary sensor with 16MP super wide-angle shooter, a 2MP macro lens, and a ToF camera completing the quad-camera setup. The Pro version retains the 60MP primary shooter, but adds an 8MP telephoto camera instead of a macro lens, and upgrades the wide-angle shooter to 20MP. It will also have a ToF camera.
