Even though Huawei is banned from using Google Apps and Play Store, they continue to launch new Android smartphones. The latest one in the line-up is the Honor X10 5G. This is a mid-range smartphone powered by Huawei's own Hisilicon Kirin 820 chipset and ships with Android 10.

Pricing and Availability
Honor X10 5G Price in China : CNY 1,899 ( base model - 6GB ram / 64GB )
Expected Honor X10 5G Price in India: Rs 21,999 ( Launch date: To be announced )
Available in Sapphire Blue, Midnight Black, Titanium Silver, and Fiery Orange colors

Honor X10 5G is the successor to the Honor 9X series. Full view, the bezel-less, notch-less display we saw on the 9X and 9X Pro is on here as well. The panel is still IPS, however, it now supports 90hz refresh rate offering a more fluid display that it's predecessors. One other phone that features an IPS higher refresh rate screen instead of AMOLED is the Poco X2.

There are 3 cameras at the back. The main sensor is a 40MP F1.8 aperture one. Like the 9X, there is an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens as well as a 2MP depth sensor next to it. On the front, it sports a 16MP pop-up selfie camera. 4K @ 30fps is the maximum video resolution possible. There is no Optical Image Stabilization ( OIS ) on these cameras, hence Huawei will use EIS stabilization during video recording. 

X10 5G ships with a 4300mAh battery. It supports 22.5W fast charging and has reverse charge support as well. The fingerprint sensor is side-mounted which not many OEMs do these days. 

Honor has just launched the Honor 9X Pro variant in India at a price of Rs 17,999 ( Launch offer price: Rs 14,999 ). So, there is no chance for them to launch another mid-range device soon in India. Expected Honor X10 India launch date is July 2020.
