Honor V30 and Honor V30 Pro are set to launch in China on Tuesday, November 26. But just days ahead of their formal launch, Huawei sub-brand Honor has confirmed that both new smartphones will come with HiSilicon Kirin 990 SoC and support 5G connectivity. Key specifications of the Honor V30 and Honor V30 Pro have also surfaced online to suggest what Honor has planned for the market this time. Additionally, the price of the Honor V30 has been leaked. Benchmark source AnTuTu has also suggested some of the major highlights of the Honor V30 Pro that is likely to come as the company’s top-of-the-line hardware.

Aside from the teaser released by the company, a tipster from China has leaked an image suggesting the initial price tag of the Honor V30. The image shows that the smartphone will go on sale at CNY 4,999 (roughly Rs. 51,000).
