The phone packs a 6.21-inch (2340 x 1080 pixels) Full HD+ 19:5:9 aspect ratio dewdrop notch display, which looks bright and sharp. Running on Android 9.0 (Pie) with EMUI 9.0 on top, the phone is powered by the company’s own Octa-Core Kirin 710 12nm SoC with support for GPU Turbo and 4GB RAM.
The notch houses a 32-megapixel camera with f/2.0 aperture is housed inside the notch. The camera uses 4-in-1 light fusion technology and exposure compensation technology for a better selfie experience and has AI feature that recognizes eight selfie scenarios. The earpiece is present on the top edge. It has a small chin below the display.
On the back there is a 24-megapixel primary camera with f/1.8 aperture along with a secondary 2-megapixel camera for AI portraits and AI scene detection for detecting different scenes. There is also a 8-megapixel 120° ultra wide-angle lens. Next to the camera is the fingerprint sensor. The phone comes with dual 4G VoLTE support, similar to most of the latest HONOR phones, but this has a Hybrid Dual SIM slot that accepts dual nano SIM cards or a nano SIM and a microSD card. This is acceptable since the phone comes with 128GB storage.
The phone has a gradient back made using 3D lithography technology, which looks attractive. It has a 3400mAh battery, and weighs 164 grams, which feels light to hold. We should know the price when the phone is launched in India on June 11th.
