On May 20, Honor officially announced that they will release the Honor X10. The President of Honor Brand, Zhao Ming, also said, “The name change and upgrade of Honor X10 is not a simple exchange of numbers and letters. There is another mystery behind it.” Previously, Honor phones all used a naming convention with a numeric suffix ‘X’, such as Honor 9X and 8X.
He also mentioned that the name change and upgrade of the X series is an explosion after Honor has accumulated for many years, just like being in the eye of a storm. After a period of calm preparation, a violent storm is about to break out.
The CEO also explained the two reasons behind the name change. The first is X10, which means 10 times faster evolution. This phone will have 5G capabilities and a more powerful processor. The second concerns various products. Honor will launch these products alongside the X10 to meet customer requirements.
The Honor X10 has a 6.63-inch display with a 2400 x 1080 resolution. It features a Kirin 820 5G chipset. The chipset has already outperformed the Snapdragon 855 and the Kirin 980. The phone has a 4200mAh battery and supports 22.5W fast charging. It also has a USB Type-C port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The Honor X10 has a 16MP camera on the front and a triple camera module on the back (40 MP, 8 MP, 2 MP). The main camera features a 40MP IMX600Y sensor, the same sensor used in the Honor 30. The president also said, “I believe that the imaging capabilities are also quite outstanding.”
Currently, the storage capacity and price are not confirmed. The phone will be launched on May 20, as the officials confirmed on Weibo.
