performance
Kirin 990E 5G, Mali-G76 MP14The octa-core 7nm+ chip handles everyday apps, streaming, and games like PUBG and Genshin Impact on medium to high settings without lag, though demanding 3D titles may throttle at sustained high graphics.
battery
4500 mAh, roughly 1 day heavy useWith screen-on time of about 12 to 14 hours in typical mixed use, you will need to charge daily if you use the phone constantly for video or gaming.
charging
40W wired, roughly 45 to 60 minutes to fullWired charging gets you to 100% in under an hour, while the 27W wireless option takes around 80 to 90 minutes if you do not have the charger nearby.
display
6.53 inch OLED, 409 ppi, no Gorilla GlassThe 1176 x 2400 OLED screen is sharp and vibrant indoors with rich blacks, but the lack of named glass protection makes the screen more prone to scratches than rivals in this price range.
camera
40MP main with 3x optical zoom, TOF depthThe f/1.6 main sensor and Leica tuning handle low-light shots and portraits well, while the 3x zoom telephoto (80mm equivalent) keeps distant subjects clear without digital crop, and ultra-wide captures group shots at 18mm.
connectivity
5G Sub-6, Wi-Fi 6 absent, dual SIM slotsThe phone connects to 5G (bands 1, 3, 28, 41, 77, 78, 79) where available for fast downloads (2+ Gbps theoretical), but uses the older Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard and no Google Play Services limits app availability outside Huawei's ecosystem.
durability
IP68, glass build, 198g, 8.8mm thickRated for full submersion up to 2 metres for 30 minutes and dust-tight; the all-glass and aluminum frame feel robust but scratch easily, and at 198g it is noticeably heavier than flagship rivals from 2020.
