Honor launches the massive 7.09″ Honor X10 Max and 6.5″ Honor 30 Lite with the 5G MediaTek Dimensity 800

Honor, the smartphone sub-brand under the Huawei Consumer Business Group, is launching two new smartphones in its home market of China: the aptly named Honor X10 Max and the Honor 30 Lite. The X10 Max has a tablet-esque 7.09-inch display, while the 30 Lite has a “smaller” 6.5-inch display. One of the most interesting features of these new phones is that they are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 800 chip.

Back in May of this year, the U.S. government blocked many chip makers from supplying chips to Huawei. This meant that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC), one of the largest contract chip makers, was blocked from fabricating Huawei’s HiSilicon chips. Thus, Huawei and Honor had to look elsewhere to procure chips for its smartphones, and it just so happens that MediaTek recently launched a 5G chip for upper mid-range smartphones. Huawei and Honor are turning to MediaTek Dimensity chipsets for some new devices, and that’s what we’re now seeing in the new Honor X10 Max and 30 Lite.

Honor X10 Max

As mentioned, the Honor X10 Max is a very large smartphone with a massive 7.09-inch display. It’s literally bigger than some tablets, which brings up the question “what even is a tablet anymore?” Anyway, this is a 5G-capable device powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 800 SoC, 6/8GB of RAM, 64/128GB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery.

Other features for the Honor X10 Max include a 48MP main camera with 10X digital zoom and a 2MP depth sensor. It has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, 3.5mm headphone jack, and 22.5W wired charging. The phone launches with Magic UI 3.1.1 based on Android 10 with no Google apps.
