Honor X30 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Honor X30 - steps in the right direction

Separation from the parent company, financial difficulties and forced downtime have noticeably affected the Chinese corporation Honor. Competitors have quickly taken the place of the once leading firm, so the developer has to spend large sums of money on a marketing campaign. Unfortunately, the brand's products themselves have significantly lost in value for money, but the hero of today's review is ready to at least partially correct the situation.

The appearance of the novelty is modern and recognizable at the same time. The graceful shape of the candy bar is perfectly combined with a small block of three cameras, matte body colors and narrow bezels of the screen, the upper part of which is home to the lens of a 16-megapixel selfie camera. Of course, the relatively budget Android smartphone has a number of simplifications. The back panel and side bezel with the fingerprint scanner are made of plastic, which is not particularly resistant to scratches. It is possible to carry the mobile assistant without a case, but it will quickly lose its original beauty. The 6.5-inch IPS-display tries to please the buyer due to the refresh rate of the picture at 120Hz and good clarity of the displayed content at FullHD + resolution. But the parameters of brightness and contrast could be higher.

The technical characteristics were the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 CPU, 4GB / 6GB of RAM and the Adreno 619 video accelerator. This is a fairly productive mid-price chip that provides support for 5G networks and the opportunity to get acquainted with the latest Android games. Resource-intensive PUBG: New State and Genshin Impact obey the processor, albeit with stripped-down graphic presets. At the same time, the transition to a technical process of 6Nm reduced both the heating of the gadget and the power consumption. Therefore, even a modest 4000mAh battery guarantees more than a day of active interaction with an Android phone. If 64 / 128GB of ROM seem insufficient to the user, then the microSD card slot will always come to the rescue.

48- and 2-megapixel (pair) photo modules are approximately on the same level of photo capabilities with direct opponents. Their destiny is high-quality daytime photography, in which the sensors are able to present both decent detail and color reproduction close to real. Deterioration of the same lighting brings in the frames and noise, and blurring of small objects. Stereo sound is not provided in the device, the single speaker will not please with the volume or sound balance. But the list of advantages is expanded by contactless payment NFC and Google services. Thus, the device turned out to be imperfect, but extremely competitive and technologically advanced for the value segment.
