During the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic, Honor in China has launched a new smartphone called Honor 30S. The first member of the newborn Honor 30 family packs a punch on paper. The smartphone brings the latest Kirin 820 5G that not only offers exceptional performance but also brings dual-mode 5G support. Further adding to the goodness, the phone comes with a 64-megapixel quad-camera setup on the back.
Honor 30S is also one of the first Honor devices to completely rely on Huawei Mobile Services. Even though the phone runs on Google's Android 10 operating system, it skips on the Google services, which includes apps like Google Play Store and Gmail. However, users will still be able to download and install apps via the Huawei App Gallery and for the Google apps, there are a lot of alternatives already available.
