Redefining flagship killers yet again
HONOR strengthens its position in the flagship killer segment with the HONOR 30 and HONOR30 Pro. Both phones come with triple rear cameras (40-megapixel f/1.6 Sony IMX600 RYYB main camera, 8-megapixel f/2.4 periscope telephoto camera, 16-megapixel f/2.4 ultra-wide-angle camera), 4000mAh batteries with 40w wired charging, in-display fingerprint scanners, 6.57 OLED displays with a tall 20:9 aspect ratio, and 32-megapixel front cameras.
The HONOR 30 Pro gets a curved OLED panel, a pill-shaped cutout that includes an additional 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle selfie camera, and a flagship Kirin 990 5G processor. The HONOR 30, on the other hand, settles for a punch-hole and a flat OLED panel, along with a new Kirin 985 5G processor.
The 7nm processor has a performance Cortex-A76 core with a 2.58GHz clock speed, three Cortex-A76 cores running at 2.40GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores running at 1.84GHz. A Mali-G77 takes care of the GPU side, accompanied by an in-house Kirin ISP 5.0 for better camera performance and noise reduction.
