Honor announces the Honor V30/V30 Pro with dual hole punch display, Kirin 990, and Android 10

-

At its recent launch event in China, Huawei’s subsidiary Honor has unveiled its latest flagships — the Honor V30 and V30 Pro. The devices fall in line with the leaked press renders that we saw last week and feature an updated design with a dual punch-hole display. Both the devices are powered by Huawei’s flagship Kirin 990 chipset and include support for dual-mode 5G.

As you can tell from the table above, the main difference between the two devices is the rear-facing camera setup. While both the devices feature a triple camera setup within a rectangular camera module on the back, the Honor V30 Pro features adds OIS to the primary 40MP Sony IMX 600 sensor. It also has a 12MP secondary wide-angle sensor with auto-focus, while the Honor V30 has an 8MP secondary wide-angle sensor with a fixed focus. The remaining 8MP telephoto sensor has a fixed focus on the V30, while it includes auto-focus capabilities on the V30 Pro. The rear cameras also support for 4K HDR video recording with 5-axis electronic image stabilization and an ultra-low vision mode for dimly-lit conditions.

Honor V30 Camera module

Other than the rear-facing camera setup, both the devices also differ in terms of the RAM/storage variants. The Honor V30 will be offered in 6GB/8GB RAM variants, both of which will feature 128GB of storage, while the V30 Pro will only be offered in an 8GB RAM variant with both 128GB and 256GB storage options. Another difference between the devices, which is quite unusual, is that the base Honor V30 features a larger 4,200mAh battery, while the V30 Pro packs in a 4,100 cell. Both the device include support for 40-watt fast charging which will get you from 0-70% in just 30 minutes. The flagship V30 Pro also includes support for 27-watt wireless charging and 7.5-watt reverse wireless charging which is missing in the V30.

Pricing and Availability

The Honor V30 has been priced at RMB 3,299 (~$469) for the 6GB/128GB variant, while the 8GB/128GB variant has been priced at RMB 3,699 (~$525). On the other hand, the flagship V30 Pro has been priced at RMB 3,999 (~$567) for the 8GB/128GB variant, while the 8GB/256GB variant will set you back RMB 4,199(~$596). Both the phones will be available in four color variants — Icelandic Fantasy, Magic Night Star River, Charm Star Blue, and Twilight Orange — and are already up for pre-orders in China. The pre-orders will last till November 26 and the first sale is scheduled for December 5th.

Motorola’s foldable Razr phone may be announced before year’s end

-
While Samsung’s saga with the Galaxy Fold appears to finally be coming to an end , there are other foldables destined to be released soon. The Huawei Mate X is the other big name, but it has been delayed a couple of times as well. The other foldable device that we’ve heard about a few times is the rumored Motorola Razr reboot, and a new report claims an announcement is coming this year still. Earlier this year, reports suggested Motorola would launch its foldable phone this summer. That time has come and gone without a peep from Motorola, but a new report claims it’s still coming this year. This information comes from a person close to the company speaking to CNET . It’s unlikely that the device will actually be sold this year, but we should at least see the device before 2020. Motorola has already confirmed that they are working on a foldable smartphone. The “Razr” name was also confirmed by a Bluetooth certification. We exclusively reported on the specifications of the device ,...

Behind Dynamic System Updates in Android Q: How Google is using Project Treble to improve future Android releases

-

Alongside the release of Android 8.0 Oreo, Google unveiled Project Treble : a major rearchitecting in the way the Android OS framework and the vendor HALs and Linux kernel communicate. Treble is a major initiative designed to reduce Android platform version and security patch fragmentation , and all Android-branded devices launching with Android Pie are required to support Project Treble. OEMs and vendors test Treble compatibility by booting a Generic System Image (GSI)—a pure stock build of Android from AOSP—and passing the Vendor Test Suite (VTS) and Compatibility Test Suite-on-Generic System Image (CTS-on-GSI). The GSI has proven useful in not only allowing software engineers working for OEMs test Treble compatibility, but it has also opened the door for a large custom ROM community on XDA. For the Android Q release, Google wants to make GSIs useful for another group: app developers. Since the first stable release and source code drop of any given Android platform release usual...
