Editorial report

Huawei Honor 30S 6 GB / 128 GB / Global / NX9A technical sheet

The Honor 30S suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with a large main camera sensor, provided they are comfortable with its 189 g weight, slightly above average for phones of its time. Its 6.5-inch LTPS LCD display has 405 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. HDR10+ and scratch resistance are also included.

The main camera pairs a 1/1.7″ sensor, among the largest of its time, with 64 MP resolution. Overall, its camera is better than that of most phones launched around the same time. Optical image stabilization is absent. The Kirin 820 is paired with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage in this configuration, and storage can be expanded. The lack of Google Services is a significant limitation for anyone who relies on Google apps.

Its 4200 mAh battery is above average, while 40 W charging is faster than that of most phones of its time. Connectivity is also better than most, with 5G, NFC, dual SIM and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The Honor 30S has an overall NeoScore of 5.5. It is a reasonable fit for buyers who prioritize the camera, charging and connectivity and can manage without Google Services.
