The all-new streamlined design language seamlessly flows from the 3D ceramic rear camera cover. The Emerald Forest that we have features anti-glare rear glass that creates a finish that sparkles when viewed from
different angles. The phone also comes in Volcanic Black model. Both have a matte finish. It doesn’t have IP68 ratings for water resistance that was available in the predecessor.
The phone has a dual-cell 5000mAh battery compared to 4500mAh in the 9 Pro, and has support for 80W SUPERVOOC fast charging that can charge up to 100% in 32 minutes. It also has 50W AIRVOOC Wireless fast charging that can charge up to 100% in 47 minutes. It also has reverse wireless charging.
