See the first glance of the Honor X30, you can distinguish that it is from the hand of glory, the back continues a whole year of design language, there is no excessive element modification, familiar concave mirror spectroscopic processing, the camera matrix of the central axis, but this time the X30 camera matrix is larger, Oreo - is it a little familiar? Yes, it's on par with Honor's flagship Magic 3 series.
Honor gave the X30 titanium silver, titanium silver star ring version, morning light gold, magic night black, and this charm sea blue on hand, a total of 5 color matching versions to choose from. The blue saturation of the charm sea blue is relatively high, slightly blue in the light and slightly purple in the dark; the external light hits the surface of the concave mirror-like spectroscopic back cover, and the lines created by the light spots are interlaced, which is not low-key. The plastic frame without breaks has been partially sandblasted, and the blue of this part is slightly purple, which is naturally connected with the back cover.
Ultra-narrow bezels have become one of the design IDs of the mid-range and entry-level models of Honor, honor X30 is no exception, a 6.81-inch LCD screen on the front, a resolution of 1080 × 2388, the highest display refresh rate of 120Hz (240Hz touch sampling rate), although it is an LCD panel, its left, right, and upper bezels are narrower than most models on the market (including flagships), and the screen ratio reaches 94%.
Objectively measuring the actual performance of this screen depends on the data measured by our WHYLAB laboratory instruments.
Starting from the most direct brightness, the maximum manual brightness of 484.92nits is an average performance for today's honor X30 positioning screens, and under the stimulation of external glare, its brightness can be excited to 508.22nits; in addition, the blackfield brightness of this screen is 0.34, so the theoretical maximum contrast ratio is about 1426:1.
Look at the brightness, and then look at the color: first of all, the familiar formula, Honor to the X30 equipped with two display modes, the default "vivid", and optional "standard", both measured 86.55% P3 color gamut coverage, and 96.08% sRGB color gamut coverage, which is a flat screen color gamut is quite wide.
In addition to the color gamut, more important is the color accuracy, here we look at the 124 color average ΔE2000 value that reflects the "color shift", if the color shift is larger, the higher the value, and vice versa, the lower the value, the better the color accuracy: we measured the value under the "vivid" mode P3 color gamut of the Honor X30 in hand is 4.03, and the value under the "standard" mode sRGB color gamut is 3.00 - in a word: the two modes basically feel less than good in daily; prefer colorful pictures, It is recommended to choose the default "vivid" mode every day, but if you are looking for a higher color standard, you can consider the "standard" mode.
In addition, the default mode measured its color temperature is 7077K, will be a little bit cold, if you do not like, you can adjust manually, Honor provides 6895K ~ 9289K color temperature range adjustable.
The Honor X30 is available in 6GB, 8GB, and 128GB, 256GB storage, with a total of three combined versions to choose from.
This time Honor has got the "launch right" of the new SoC, Honor X30 launched Qualcomm's Snapdragon 695 platform, which is the most advanced SoC of the Snapdragon 6 series on the market today, using TSMC 6nm process technology, its configuration is close to the Tianji 900 in the middle of the home next door, and the performance is probably near the 768G of the Snapdragon 7 Series.
The CPU of the Snapdragon 695, that is, the Kryo 660, consists of two 2.2GHz A78 large cores, plus six 1.8GHz A55 small cores; the GPU part uses its own Adreno 619, which is the same as the previous Snapdragon 750G; the image processing chip part, the Spectra 346T uses three 12bits ISPs. Its main selling point is the 5G network, which uses X51 baseband and provides sub-6 and millimeter wave 5G support.
Snapdragon 695 platform put on the performance of the Honor X30, here use several performance testing tools for everyone to have a targeted exploration, for everyone to establish a holistic and more objective impression.
First use Geekbench to see the performance of the CPU part, single-core 674 points, multi-core 1930 - this performance is close to the previous flagship Snapdragon 855 Plus (single-core), Snapdragon 845 (multi-core) platform models.
GPU performance, here is the selection of 3DMark, respectively, run a basic Wild Life (Vulkan) and advanced Wild Life Extreme (Vulkan), plus Sling Shot for OpenGL, respectively, score 1214, 363, 4125 - from the data point of view, the performance is probably near the Snapdragon 845 platform.
In addition, it also used the Wild Life Extreme for 20 consecutive minutes to test the GPU load capacity of the Honor X30, and the final result was up to 1215 points and a minimum of 1210, so the stability was 99.6% - in this 20-minute higher load test, the mobile phone hardly had a significant heat, the chip temperature control only recorded a 2 ° C temperature increase, and the pressure of the mobile phone was almost unchanged, and the stability was eye-catching.
Finally look at PCMark, the final score of the "Work 3.0" project is 8014 points - this value mainly reflects the performance of daily document processing, retouching and other use scenarios, and the performance of the Honor X30 is probably near the flagship of the Snapdragon 845 platform; and the "Storage 2.0" project is obviously to examine the performance of flash memory and storage, and the final score of 19138 is basically upstream of the results of the LPDDR4X model, and even close to the Black Shark 4 Pro (19979) that adopted the Snapdragon 888 at the beginning of the year points).
On the ring camera matrix is three cameras with an LED fill light, the ring is printed with the word "Matrix", one of which is a 48-megapixel wide-angle main camera with an f/1.8 aperture, but unfortunately there is no ultra-wide angle, telephoto, and the other two are depth of field and macro cameras.
So we set our sights on this wide-angle main camera, not grinding, directly on the sample.
In general, the camera performance of the Honor X30 is basically in line with its positioning, daily recording of life is enough, with its positioning there is no obvious shortcoming, but the night environment as far as possible to avoid too dark environment.
Honor to X30 with a 4800mAh capacity battery, the same or single cell dual circuit design, with 66W fast charging, the official said that half an hour can be charged 81%, how the actual performance?
Our laboratory standard environment measured Honor X30 from 0% power shutdown state (automatic power on) charging for half an hour, the power has reached 87% - faster than the official advertised 81%, the final full charge takes a total of 40 minutes, of which 15 minutes can be more than half full, this speed is quite good in this positioning model.
In terms of battery life, we continue to take our laboratory standard "five-hour endurance test" as the benchmark, in a unified environment, the test items include brushing Weibo, chatting WeChat, online music, online long video (B station), short video, e-book, game, photo, online shopping, call, each lasting half an hour, a total of 5 hours, compression simulation of our daily use of the loss of electricity, Honor X30 finally remained 61%, good results.
In addition, in this process, the heat temperature on the front and back of each project of the Honor X30 was also tested, and the highest temperature appeared in the process of the game during the entire five-hour endurance test, recording a temperature of only 39.7 °C on the front and 39.6 °C on the back, and the temperature control was done well.
From 1499 yuan, the first Snapdragon 695 strongest 6 Series SoC, ultra-narrow bezel screen, 66W fast charge, good endurance and temperature control, this honor X30 may be the most cost-effective entry model for honor this year.
