At an event held in China this week, Huawei officially announced the Honor V30 and Honor V30 Pro, and both are the first 5G phones manufactured by the company. The Honor V30 and V30 Pro are powered by the Kirin 990 chipset and comes with 5 cameras – 2 at the front an 3 at the back.
Honor V30 and V30 Pro Features
The Honor V30 and V30 Pro is expected to arrive the global market as Vera 30 or View 30. The phones come with 6.57 inch LCDs of Full HD+ resolution. You will find the fingerprint scanner by the side, just like that on the Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro. The back features a large elevate piece in the corner that hosts the triple camera setup.
The Honor V30 and V30 Pro share the main 40MP Sony IMX600 sensor with Dual OIS and laser AF, but the Pro version has a faster F/1.6 lens compared to the F/1.8 optics on the V30. Then there is the 8MP telephoto cam with 3x optical zoom, F/2.4 lens and OIS, which is the only module that’s identical between the two.
The largest difference between both phone cameras comes in the ultrawide angle cameras – the Honor V30 Pro has a 12MP sensor that is also better tailored for video recording with its 16:9 ratio and F/2.2 lens. The regular Honor V30, on the other hand, has an 8MP F/2.4 ultrawide camera with a conventional sensor.

At the front, the punch hole has a new pill shape, so it can accommodate two shooters instead of one. The shooter comprises of a 32MP main selfie cam with Super Night Mode and another 8MP ultrawide angle snapper with 105-degree FoV.
Leaks have already confirmed that the Kirin 990 5G chipset will power the V30 duo and there was no surprise with that. The chipset will be coupled with 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB of storage, depending on the memory configuration you prefer.
There is a little difference between the chipset, though – the Honor V30 has the basic 7nm Kirin 990, coupled with the Balong 5000 modem, while the Pro variant has the 7nm+ Kirin 990 that arrives with an integrated modem.

The Honor V30 and V30 Pro phones support the ultrafast 40W Honor SuperCharge, but the V30 Pro also has 27W Super Wireless Charge. There is also a difference in the capacity – Honor V30 comes with 4200mAh power cell, while the Pro variant has just 4100mAh.
