Honor 30 Lite 5G: Dimensity 800, 90Hz, 8GB RAM Starting at P12k

Honor 30 Lite, aka Honor 30 Youth, Now Official

Acting as the cheapest phone in the Honor 30 series, Huawei launched the Honor 30 Lite that also goes by the name of Honor 30 Youth. Coming in Midnight Black, Phantom Silver, Summer rainbow, and Green colors, the affordable mid-range phone is available starting July 8th in China for a starting price of CNY 1699(~P11,900) for the 6GB/64GB model. For the 6GB/128GB and 8GB/128GB variants, they cost CNY 1899(~P13,300) and CNY 2199(~P15,400), respectively.

What separates Honor 30 Lite from the pack is the Dimensity 800 chipset that brings along 5G mobile connectivity. On top of that, the 6.5″ FHD+ IPS LCD is capable of 90Hz refresh rate for that smooth and silky experience. The cameras, however, are in a triple camera setup — featuring 48MP f1.8 main sensor, 8MP f2.4 ultrawide, and 2MP f2.4 macro. Video recording maxes out at 4K resolution, unlike most MediaTek chipsets. Furthermore, the 16MP selfie camera, housed inside a notch, records up to 1080p. The battery is rated 4000mAh, with support for 22.5W fast charging.

Like the rest of the Honor 30, we’re still waiting for an announcement from Huawei whether it’ll bring them to the Philippines.
