Just now, the eight-year-old sincerity of the Glory X30 was released. The new product continues the high-quality features of the Honor X series, bringing users a 120Hz full-view screen known as a narrow-sided straight-screen ceiling, and a safer and smarter version 66W super fast charge.
What changes has the Honor X30 made?
This phone focuses on upgrading the appearance, screen, battery life and all other features that consumers can quickly perceive, and also brings a new mobile platform - Snapdragon 695, which is indeed more attractive in the thousand yuan gear.
A reinvention of the X-Series design language
Looking at the classic models of the Honor X series, the design language is to highlight a sense of speed, with sharp lines to outline a series of explosive models. But the Honor X30 is different, it even subverts the design style that the X series has been passing down for a long time.
The first is the shift in design language. Honor X30 cancels the line design elements, but uses a large area of color to cover the entire fuselage, the color choice is also more brisk, the two in my hand are morning dawn gold and titanium empty silver color matching, both of which are frosted on the surface of the fuselage, and the feel is more delicate. It is worth noting that the Honor X30 double-curved back cover and the middle frame of the mobile phone are very smooth, fit the palm, and the weight thickness has decreased compared with the previous generation, which greatly enhances the feel of the fuselage, and the fuselage workmanship is stronger than the previous X series models.
The second is the continuation of the lens module design. Honor X30 series appearance has changed, naturally there is also a heritage, it will upgrade the X20 ring to a similar Mate40 star ring design, the lens arrangement is also very similar, while glory in the concentric circle junction with aperture buffer, aperture color and fuselage color matching, balancing the sense of harmony and layering of the fuselage.
The front of the phone is equipped with a 6.81-inch LCD screen, the left and right bezels are only 1.05mm, the upper bezels are 1.35 mm, and the overall screen on the front of the phone accounts for 94%, and the narrow bezels bring a wider screen view, improving the sense of watching videos and playing games.
In terms of screen parameters, honor X30 supports 120Hz high brush and 240Hz high touch sampling rate, improving the smoothness of use and the follow-up of the screen. In addition, the phone also supports intelligent dynamic frame rate adjustment, which automatically adjusts the switching refresh rate for different scenes. For example, in Weibo, WeChat, Toutiao and other scenes to open the 120Hz high brush, to ensure a smooth experience, in the reading, browsing photo scene automatically switch to 60Hz refresh rate, improve daily use endurance.
In addition, honor X30 passed the German Rheinland T V low blue light eye protection certification, and support professional blue light filter mode, with the LCD screen itself without strobe problems, as far as possible to reduce eye fatigue. Moreover, the LCD screen of the machine is much more accurate in color performance and color gamut volume than the previous X series, so the screen appearance is not bad.
In some details, although the Honor X30 has a hole in the top of the fuselage, this is not a handset speaker, for the conventional earpiece, the phone itself only has a single speaker, but the sound quality is not bad. In addition, the machine cancels the 3.5mm headphone connection hole.
Honor X30 in the appearance of the change is quite large, on the one hand, the use of ultra-narrow border and the use of center single punch hole, to further enhance the screen ratio, coupled with the high quality and large size of the screen itself, improve the phone screen perception; on the other hand, the redesign of the design language may mean a change in the X series style, but it also depends on whether the next generation of X series will continue this.
This is probably the X series with the strongest battery life
In the past, the X series will take battery life as one of its core highlights, and this time is no exception, and this is also one of the highlights of the Honor X30.
The battery capacity of the machine has been increased from the previous generation of 4300mAh to 4800mAh in one go, so the battery capacity can maintain considerable competitiveness in the same price mobile phone.
In order to test the actual test level of the machine, the author conducted a 3-hour battery life test, the brightness and volume of the mobile phone are set to 50%, turn on the 120 Hz refresh rate, turn off the intelligent resolution, test "Glory of the King", Douyin, Taobao, Weibo, 1080P video playback, 1080P video recording six projects, each project test time is half an hour.
After actual measurements, the remaining power of the Honor X30 is 66%, which is a fairly good battery life, more than enough to cope with 8 hours of daily work and commuting, and can also cope with long periods of high-intensity use. If you choose to turn on Smart Resolution, Smart Refresh Rate Mode, or 60Hz, the phone's battery life can be improved.
In terms of charging, honor X30 is still 66W super fast charge, the phone power is empty to start charging, charging 10 minutes can be full of 40% of the power, basically a washing time, and for this phone, 40% of the power is enough to cope with commuting commuting. 83% charge can be charged in 30 minutes, and 40 minutes for full charge.
In addition to the fast charging part, it also adds a design that can extend battery life and battery safety, especially in terms of safety, the Honor X30 battery is equipped with a unique security anti-counterfeiting chip as an "ID card", so that the charger, charging cable, and battery can complete 3-fold identification, with a 5-fold safety monitoring design to ensure the fast charging safety of the whole link.
In order to improve battery life, Honor puts the flagship smart charging mode into the thousand-yuan gear, and by learning the user's usage habits, it does not fully charge at night, but can ensure full power before getting up.
Whether it is the relevant parameters or the measured results, the endurance of the Honor X30 is much higher than that of the previous generation, and the longer battery life also means longer use time. In addition, in order to extend the use time, honor X30 after 36 months of aging test, the average aging rate is only 3.8%, to provide users with a long-lasting smooth, long-term use as new experience, prolong the user's replacement cycle. However, strictly speaking, this phone is not a big problem with 3-5 years, and from this point of view, this phone continues the reliable and durable quality of the X series.
What is the Snapdragon 695 level?
On the most core processor, Honor X30 switched to Qualcomm released not long Ago Snapdragon 695, this chip uses TSMC 6nm process technology, CPU part for 2 A78 and 6 A55 cores, the main frequency is 2.2GHz, GPU part is Adreno 619, is a mid-range processor.
The CPU performance of the Snapdragon 695 is 15% higher than that of the Snapdragon 690, and the GPU performance is increased by 30%, while greatly reducing power consumption and extending battery life. If the performance is analogous, the overall performance of the Snapdragon 695 is slightly stronger than the Snapdragon 750 and close to the Kirin 820. As for the actual game performance, the author chose Honor of Kings for testing, and adjusted the screen and frame rate settings to the highest.
After actual measurements, the performance of honor X30 when running "Glory of Kings" is very stable, and the number of game frames can be stabilized at about 60 frames, and there is no situation of stuttering frames.
There was a small episode during the test, and the WiFi signal was interfered with, so the wireless signal strength of the Honor X30 dropped at this time, but the mobile game latency did not fluctuate and remained low. It can be seen that the Link Turbo X network acceleration engine that Honor has been promoting is at work.
Another feature of the Snapdragon 695 is in the image, this chip integrates a triple ISP, which is rare in the same positioning chip, and the computing power bonus provided by the three ISP can effectively enhance the imaging quality of the Honor X30.
In terms of taking pictures, honor X30 rear 48 million pixel image system, the actual photo quality of the main camera is acceptable, with the optimization of honor and the hashrate support of Snapdragon 695, it is possible to take good photos.
The imaging style of this phone is a realistic route, designed to restore the picture scene as much as possible, so the picture color performance is more natural, relying on the 48 million pixel main camera, high photo clarity, brightness is appropriate.

In the night with complex lighting, the Honor X30 performs well, and has a good restoration for the shooting scene, but the highlight suppression is not enough, and the picture is easy to overexposed, but fortunately, it will not affect the look and feel of the photo itself, and the details of the dark part of the picture are also well presented.
Overall, honor X30 is more pragmatic than the previous X series, paying more attention to the pain point needs of most consumer groups, which is reflected in ultra-narrow borders, large screens, long endurance, and fast charging.
So how should we evaluate the Honor X30?
If you look at it from the perspective of an old X-series user or "pollen", there are ripples in the heart.
As mentioned above, the improvement of the Honor X30 can be seen, and in the daily experience, it feels that it is more intimate and more acceptable than the X series mobile phones that previously pursued a "sense of speed". Although the Star Ring design is one of the current trend designs, as an old user who has watched the start, rise and development of the X series, I still hope that the X series can have its own style.
But if I start from an ordinary consumer, I will feel that the Honor X30 is a reliable quality mobile phone, because it can not only meet most of the daily needs, but also bring a flagship experience with a thousand yuan gear.
