Just a day before March ends, the Chinese smartphone brand Honor launches a new device — the Honor 30S. This latest Honor handset promises impressive specs despite being the cheapest member of the Honor 30 series.
To start, the new Honor 30S uses a powerful midrange chipset with Kirin 820 5G. The said processor allows the device to support dual-5G. Moreover, it has 8GB of RAM with either 64GB or 128GB of internal storage. Likewise, the GPU-department is also top-notch as it uses a six-core Mali G57 and Kirin ISP 5.0 for improved performance and noise reduction.
As expected, the device lacks Google Mobile Services despite running under Android 10 and its own Magic UI 3.1.1 OS.
