The Honor 10 line occupies an initial role in the brand's hierarchy and offers a range of smartphones whose main distinguishing feature is design and affordability. According to the good old tradition, the company's designers borrow ideas from their top-end smartphones, so the early models of the Honor 10 series almost exactly copied the flagship Huawei P30 and P40 Pro models with their mother-of-pearl back covers. In 2019, this style was held in high esteem. The same thing is happening now. For example, the green Honor 10X Lite is painfully reminiscent of the Huawei P40. Only the cutout for the front camera is not on the left side, but in the centre.


The core of the Honor 10 series is made up of well-balanced smartphones with a simple hardware base (Kirin 710 level processor + 3-4 GB of RAM), simple IPS displays with HD or Full HD resolution and dual or triple cameras. At the same time, many devices are equipped with fast charging, NFC, a fingerprint scanner and a modern USB-C port, so it’s not entirely correct to write them down in the category of “smartphones for grandparents”.

The same Honor 10X Lite is a perfectly balanced device with a serious reserve for battery life, a colorful display, a good quad-camera and hardware that will not slow down when Fruit Ninja starts. This is a truly massive phablet that runs Kirin 710A, it has 4 RAM on board and 128 GB of internal storage.

Among other delights, the owner has access to an NFC for contactless payments and a capacious 5000 mAh battery, which holds a charge for several days without any problems and at the same time can be charged by 46% in 30 minutes.
