The vanilla Honor 30 is built around 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.

Around the back, you will 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 Honor 30 is powered by the 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.
