Honor has launched two new smartphones – the Honor V30 and the Honor V30 Pro – at an event in Beijing, China, today. The Honor V30 comes as a successor to the Honor V20 that was launched last year. The Honor V30 Pro, on the other hand, does not have a predecessor; it comes as a more feature-packed variant of the Honor V30.
Speaking of, the Honor V30 and the V30 Pro have flagship-grade hardware. A few highlight features of these smartphones include Kirin 990 SoC, 5G cellular connectivity, 40W SuperCharge fast wired charging, punch-hole display, a dual-front-facing camera setup comprising of a 32MP primary camera with Nightscape and an 8MP ultrawide camera.
How Does the Honor V30 Differ From The Honor V30 Pro?
Well, there are four major differences between the Honor V30 and the Honor V30 Pro.
Let us start with the camera. The Honor V30 Pro offers a 12MP ultrawide camera at the rear, whereas, Honor V30 has an 8MP unit. The higher resolution, in theory, should provide better image quality. It is also worth mentioning that the ultrawide camera in the V30 Pro is tuned for recording videos. While both the smartphones have a 40MP primary camera at the rear, the one in Honor V30 has an f/1.8 aperture, whereas, the one in Honor V30 Pro has a better, f/1.6 aperture.
Then comes the connectivity. The Honor V30 has a Kirin 990 SoC with a separate 5G modem, whereas, the Honor V30 Pro’s Kirin 990 has an inbuilt 5G modem. Moving on to the battery, the Honor V30 has a 4200mAh battery. That is 100mAh more than the 4100mAh unit in the Honor V30 Pro. The Honor V30 Pro also comes with 27W Super Wireless Charging, which, the Honor V30 lacks. Lastly, the V30 Pro can be had with higher RAM and storage capacities.
Other specifications of both smartphones remain the same.
