The Honor 30 is a smartphone made by Huawei under their Honor sub-brand. It is a successor of the Huawei Honor 20 within the Huawei Honor series. On 15 April 2020, Honor completed its Chinese launch of the new Honor 30 series of smartphones, adding three new devices to its premium flagship lineup of devices. All the new phones are 5G capable and inherit the leading edge custom RYYB camera sensors. The Honor 30 is powered by the new Kirin 985 chipset, making this the first public showing of the new silicon. The Honor 30 Pro and Pro+ are powered by the well-known Kirin 990 5G chipset. The HONOR 30 Pro and Pro+ share a similar form factor to the Honor 30, but differ in terms of the industrial design, most notably because of the usage of a curved screen.
