Honor has made the official leap to 5G with the launch of two affordable flagships that support this new network standard, which promises unmatched download speeds and virtually non-existent latency. We are talking, of course, about the new Honor View 30 and View 30 Pro , two terminals that show off the Kirin 990 chip with 5G modem , offering compatibility with the NSA / SA bands, as well as dual 4G + 5G.

This time we will start with the highlight, the Honor View 30 Pro, which impresses with its 6.57-inch IPS LCD screen with FullHD + resolution (2,400 x 1,080 pixels). This panel has two perforations to house two front cameras and, in theory, achieves a screen-to-body ratio of 91.46%.

It is worth mentioning that it does not have an on-screen fingerprint reader, since it has been relocated to the right side, just below the volume button. The back cover is made of 3D curved glass and has a triple camera configuration positioned on a rectangular module, which protrudes considerably from the surface.

Hardware, features and cameras

Moving on to the Hardware realm, the Honor View 30 series comes equipped with the flagship Kirin 990 chip manufactured in 7 nanometers , which is paired with a Mali-G76 MP16 GPU compatible with GPU Turbo 4.0 and Kirin Gaming + 2.0 technologies that promise to improve the performance. gaming performance.

The Pro version consists of 8GB of RAM along with 128GB / 256GB of non-expandable internal storage and is powered by a 4,100mAh battery that supports 40W fast charging, as well as 27W wireless charging and reverse wireless charging.

Both terminals run Android 10 together with the Magic UI 3.0.1 user interface. However, they will lack Google’s suite of applications and services due to political reasons.

In photographic terms, the Honor View 30 Pro introduces a 40MP (IMX 600) RYYB sensor with optical image stabilization and f / 1.6 aperture as its main camera. But this is not all, as it is accompanied by a 12MP (109 degree) ultra-wide secondary sensor with image stabilization through artificial intelligence and pixel combination. Finally, it consists of an 8MP telephoto lens that brings 3x optical zoom and 10x hybrid zoom to the set.

Meanwhile, the front camera combines a 32MP (f / 2.0) sensor with an 8MP ultra-wide (f / 2.2 and 105-degree field of view). This combination is equipped with night and portrait mode.

In addition to 5G network support in the NSA and SA bands , the Honor View 30 series has Bluetooth 5.0, NFC for wireless payments, GPS, dual-band Wi-Fi and infrared.

The Honor View retains many of the specs of its older brother, sporting the same display, design, and processor choice, but with some crucial differences. First of all, it only has 6GB of RAM and the battery is 4,200mAh instead of 4,100mAh , but it does sacrifice wireless charging functionality.

Also, the photographic configuration is very similar, making use of the same main 40MP sensor, minus the optical image stabilization . The ultra-wide sensor also suffers a cut, specifically in its resolution, going from 12MP to 8MP. On the other hand, the telephoto lens remains exactly the same, and the same can be said for its dual selfie camera.
