The high screen ratio and narrow bezels have been a highlight of the recent Honor X series. Although the screen ratio of the Honor X30 released this time is still 94%, and the weight is also controlled to 193g, the screen size has changed from 6.67 inches to 6.81 inches, which is also half a foot into the oversized range.
In order to achieve such parameters, the left and right borders of the Honor X30 are controlled to 1.05mm, and the upper border is 1.35mm, and the immersion is still good.
Under such positioning, honor X30 is naturally also a very suitable device for audio and video. It is based on an LCD panel, does not produce strobes, and is T-V-certified by Rheinland, making it more suitable for long viewing. In addition, the system also has a professional blue light filter mode, e-book mode and dark mode built-in, so that the eye protection effect of the whole screen is further improved.
It also has a high 120Hz refresh rate and a 240Hz touch sample rate, and supports intelligent dynamic refresh rate adjustment. For example, in weibo, WeChat, toutiao and other information flow applications will be presented at 120Hz, and applications such as reading and photos will be presented at 60Hz, so that while taking into account the smooth experience, it is more power-saving.
We measured the battery life, in the case of built-in 4800mAh battery, one hour of "League of Legends Mobile Game" consumes 15% of power, one hour of 1080P online video and Weibo consume 10% and 9% of power, respectively.
Converted down, full of a tv to watch a whole day of video without pressure, daily use, can meet a day or even a day and a half of battery life, if you often go out, there are high requirements for battery life, honor X30 can indeed meet the needs.
In addition to long battery life, Honor X30 also supports 66W super fast charging, which can charge to 81% in 30 minutes, which is still very fast overall. Combined with the previous endurance test, charging for about half an hour after getting up every day should be able to meet the use of the day. If you charge at night as often as I do, be sure to turn on the new smart fast charging function, which effectively extends battery life by learning the strategies of daily habits.
At the same time, honor X30 also played a charging safety card, the battery is equipped with a unique security anti-counterfeiting chip as an "ID card", so that the charger, charging cable, battery between the completion of triple identification, with five security monitoring design, to ensure the full link of fast charging safety.
The Honor X30 uses Qualcomm's recently released Snapdragon 695 5G mobile platform. It is based on a 6nm process and uses a Kryo 660 CPU and an Adreno 619 GPU to achieve a 15% and 30% performance improvement, respectively.
It also has an X51 5G baseband built in, enabling up to 2.5Gbps downloads and 1.5Gbps upload speeds over 5G networks. As well as Wi-Fi 6 as well as Bluetooth 5.2 through the built-in FastConnect 6200.
More importantly, it is a chip that can provide a good user experience while maintaining low power consumption. Combined with Honor's GPU Turbo X, smart storage expansion and system optimization, it can provide a good daily use experience and background application retention while saving power.
For example, when running "Glory of Kings" and "League of Legends Mobile Game", two of the more mainstream MOBA games, the Honor X30 can basically maintain at 60 frames, with little fluctuation.
And even at the edge of the Wi-Fi signal, the Honor X30 can still maintain a relatively stable network, and I think it should be the Link Turbo X network acceleration engine that has made a contribution.
In terms of appearance, what we got this time is the star ring version of titanium empty silver color. Its back cover is a large area of titanium empty silver color, while adding a circle of silver rings around the camera, so that the texture of the whole machine is better.
The overall color scheme is relatively plain white in the absence of light, and it will show a variety of colors after the light is added. And it can show a good color match without leaving fingerprints, which is very suitable for bare metal use.
The rear image module of honor X30 inherits the style of the flagship Mate40 series in terms of design, and the shape of the multi-layer ring is still more attractive.
It includes a 48-megapixel imaging system.
Let's look at some samples, starting with a well-lit day.
Next up is a sample shot at night by the Honor X30 after turning on night mode.
I also used the Honor X30 to shoot macro samples during the day.
As you can see, the Honor X30 is good at imaging, whether it is during the day or at night. Stand-alone macro lenses can also bring more unique perspectives when shooting objects such as flowers and plants at close range.
However, the ultra-wide angle does limit the overall playability of the Honor X30 imaging system to a certain extent. I think it's possible to consider changing the macro lens to a wide-angle/macro lens when launching the next generation.
Overall, the Honor X30 is a product that performs well in everyday use. The high refresh rate and DC dimming of the LCD screen make the Honor X30 more suitable for long-term video and gaming.
Rong X30 inherits the excellent quality genes of X series products, and does not pursue the ultimate parameter in charging, but takes into account the actual needs of users. At the same time, the mobile phone passes the honor aging test laboratory test, through the simulation of daily use scenarios such as large file filling, fragmentation process, static data filling, heavy load testing and so on of the mobile phone, simulating the aging state of the product after three years of user use, the honor X30 has the lowest degree of aging, providing users with a long-lasting smooth, long-term use as new experience.
In addition, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G mobile platform, memory expansion technology and many optimizations of Honor should be able to maintain a better experience for a longer period of time.
