In the last 24 hours, HONOR announced two new smartphones. We’ve already talked about the gigantic HONOR X10 Max, and now is the time to focus on the HONOR 30 Lite.
The HONOR 30 Lite is a mid-range smartphone, just like its HONOR X10 Max sibling. The device is made out of metal and glass, and it has really thin bezels. Its “chin” is just a hair thicker than the rest of its bezels
The HONOR 30 Lite includes a flat display, waterdrop notch
The phone also includes a waterdrop display notch at the top. Its display is flat, while a fingerprint scanner is moved to the side, its right side. The volume up / down buttons are placed right above it.
There are three cameras included on the phone’s back, as part of the same camera module. Those cameras are vertically-aligned, while an LED flash sits right next to them. That camera module does protrude a bit.
HONOR’s branding is placed on the back of this phone as well. The back side of the phone is proportional to the front, it’s flat, in case you were wondering.
The phone features a 6.5-inch fullHD+ (2400 x 1080) LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 20:9 aspect ratio. The MediaTek Dimensity 800 fuels this handset, and it comes with 5G support.
The device packs in 6GB / 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB, 128GB, or 256GB of UFS 2.1 flash storage, depending on what variant you get. The 6GB RAM variant comes in either 64GB or 128GB flavors. The 8GB RAM model comes with 256GB of storage only.
If you end up needing more space, you can always expand this storage via a NM memory card. The phone includes two SIM card slots (2x nano SIM), one of which can be used for storage expansion.
A large battery is included, along with fast charging
Android 10 comes pre-installed on this phone, along with the company’s Magic UI 3.1.1 skin. A 4,000mAh battery is placed inside the phone, and it supports 22.5W fast wired charging.
A 3.5mm headphone jack is also a part of the package, as is Bluetooth 5.0, and a Type-C port. A 48-megapixel main camera (f/1.8 aperture) sits on the back.
It is aided by an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera (120-degree FoV, f/2.4 aperture), and a 2-megapixel macro lens (f/2.4 aperture, 4cm lens).
A 16-megapixel camera (f/2.0 aperture) sits on the front side of the device. The phone measures 160 x 75.32 x 8.35mm, and weighs 192 grams.
The HONOR 30 Lite has been announced in Green, Midnight Black, Phantom Silver, and Summer Rainbow color options. The device’s pricing starts at CNY1,699 ($240) in China. This handset will probably arrive to Europe, but we don’t know when exactly.
