Honor 30 and 30 Pro come with OLED displays and periscope cameras


It's a big day for Honor today as the Huawei subsidiary brought us its 30 lineup – the Pro+ flagship is joined by the vanilla Honor 30 and the 30 Pro. The vanilla Pro shares most of the features as its bigger brother while the Honor 30 brings an all-new Kirin 985 5G chipset and toned down specs across the board at a far lower price point.

Honor 30 Pro

Starting off with the Pro model we get a curved 6.57-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution and a punch-hole cutout for the dual front-facing cameras. The primary shooter is 32MP while the secondary one is an 8MP ultrawide unit. The display also boasts a built-in fingerprint scanner and a tall 20:9 aspect ratio.

Going around the frosted glass back we spot the triple camera array, which is headlined by a 40MP Sony IMX600 main camera with a large 1/1.7-inch sensor and RYYB color filter. There’s also an 8MP periscope module with OIS capable of 5x optical up to 50x hybrid zoom alongside a 16MP ultrawide module which also serves for macro photography.


Under the hood, we find the flagship Kirin 990 5G chipset paired with either 8GB or 12GB RAM and 128/256GB storage.

Inside there's a 4,000mAh battery with support for 40W wired fast charging. The software front is covered by Magic UI 3.1.0 based on Android 10.


The Honor 30 Pro will be available in purple, black, silver and green colors with pre-orders starting today. Official sales are scheduled to begin on April 21. The 8/128GB trim will go for CNY 3,999 ($565) while the 8/256GB variant will set buyers back CNY 4,399 ($620).

Honor 30

The vanilla Honor 30 sports a 6.53-inch OLED display with FHD+ resolution and a single punch-hole cutout in the top left corner for the 32 MP selfie cam. The panel sports a 20:9 aspect ratio and also comes with an under-display fingerprint scanner.


Going around the back we find a 40MP 1/1.7-inch main camera with the RYYB color filter as the Honor 30 Pro. The accompanying sensors are the same 8MP periscope module from the 30 Pro and an 8MP ultrawide shooter.

The more noteworthy aspect about the Honor 30, however, is its new Kirin 985 5G chipset. It’s built on the 7nm node and features a main Cortex-A76 core clocked at 2.58GHz with three accompanying Cortex-A76 working at 2.40GHz and four Cortex-A55 running at 1.84GHz. On the GPU side, we have the Mali-G77 and the new chipset also boasts the Kirin ISP 5.0, which is touted to bring flagship-level camera performance and advanced noise reduction.


The Honor 30 has the same 4,000mAh cell with 40W fast wired charging. The software front is covered by Magic UI 3.1.0 based on Android 10.

The Honor 30 will be available in black, purple, silver and green colors. The base price for the 6/128GB model is CNY 2,999 ($425). There’s also an 8/128GB variant for CNY 3,199 ($450) and a top of the line 8/256GB trim for CNY 3,499 ($495). Pre-orders are already underway while official sales start on April 21.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as ...

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu...

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel...
