Huawei P20 says hello

The apple falls not far from the apple tree: upon external examination, it quickly becomes clear that the Honor 10 has adopted some of the features of the Huawei P20. But that's not too surprising: Honor is, after all, a subsidiary of Huawei. The glass body and aluminum bezel of the Honor 10 looks very elegant. For those who like it brighter, the manufacturer came up with Shimmering Green and Shimmering Blue - inspired by the lights of the northern lights, Honor reproduces interesting play of colors on the back of the case. The Honor 10 is also offered in a choice of classic black and silver variants.

Let's face it, the Honor 10 is well made - the corners are nicely rounded and the 154g weight fits well in the hand. The double camera is a little hindering; it protrudes considerably beyond the dimensions of the case, since if the device is lying on the table, it is not stable. There is no IP certification here - that is new flagship Honor is not waterproof.

Honor 10 display follows Notch trend

The Honor 10 has a 5.84-inch 19: 9 display with a high resolution of 2280 x 1080 pixels (432 ppi). Honor uses an LC display, which we liked with particularly rich colors. According to our tests, it has 136% sRGB color gamut coverage - almost on par with OLED displays. But you can not count on the perfect black display that the Huawei P20 offers. However, with a maximum brightness of almost 490 cd / m2, the Honor 10's screen remains legible even in bright sunlight.

The screen is almost bezel-less and, in line with modern trends, has a notch at the top, which is called "Notch". As a result, the display covers 80 percent of the area of the front side of the case, that is, it uses it practically without losses. In addition to several sensors, the notch houses an ear speaker and a front-facing camera with an extremely high 24-megapixel resolution. By the way, it can also be used to unlock a smartphone through the face recognition function. Alternatively, you can use a fingerprint scanner that responds accurately and quickly.

Practical: You can deactivate the Notch display if you wish. In this case, the areas to the left and right of the notch are filled with black.

Decent battery life, excellent performance

The battery has a high capacity of 3400 mAh. With it, the Honor 10 managed a solid 9 hours and 25 minutes in our demanding battery life test with the always-on display. In comparison, the Huawei P20 has a smaller battery, but it almost got to the 10 o'clock mark. For normal, everyday operation, this should not be a problem. More hardy devices, the battery life of which sometimes reaches 13 hours or more, you will find in our corresponding.

During test tests, the smartphone was charged quickly. More precisely, via the supplied USB Typ-C power supply for fast charging with a power of 22.5 watts, the battery replenished its energy reserves in 116 minutes.

The strength of the Honor 10 is its fast pace of work. The manufacturer uses the best on this moment Huawei's processor called HiSilicon Kirin 970. It's about as fast as Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835. With Huawei's design like this, surfing the web can really be a pleasure: even with heavy websites and apps, we didn't notice any limitations during our benchmarks. Including in Split Screen mode, the two applications worked in parallel, maintaining speed and elasticity.

Depending on your choice, Honor 10 can be equipped with 4 GB or 6 GB random access memory and built-in storage with a capacity of 64 or 128 GB. The subsequent expansion of the internal memory, unfortunately, is not possible: although the Honor 10 has a slot for two Nano-SIM-cards, it does not have a slot for a memory card of the Micro-SD standard. In the case of the device we tested, we are talking about a 128 GB version, where approximately 115 GB remains available for free use.

Honor installs the current Android 8.1 Oreo operating system here, which works in conjunction with Huawei's EMUI 8.1 user interface.

Surfing the web with Honor 10 is a pleasure: Kirin 970 processor keeps you up and running

AI camera without Leica certification

Honor 10 has dual camera located on the back of the case, but unlike the P20-series, without certification from Leica. The photo quality of this camera is not bad, although it cannot be compared with top-end devices in this category, for example, the HTC U11, especially in poor lighting conditions. The camera has two matrices: 16-megapixel color and 24-megapixel black and white. The f / 1.8 aperture provides ample light flow to the sensors. In daylight, the pictures of Honor 10 can be considered convincing, but those taken at dusk seem a little noisy. In addition, noise reduction algorithms eat up a lot of detail and structure. Hair and yarn, for example, blend into one surface.

However, this does not have to be at all: the manufacturer in Honor 10 uses the so-called "AI camera" (with artificial intelligence). AI Mode recognizes objects and scenarios, adapting camera settings to the scenes (such as nature, food, portraits) to enhance the quality of images, for example, improve the saturation of colors.

The optical image stabilizer will have to be abandoned here, and accordingly, the risk of blurring photos becomes higher. However, it is possible to take advantage of "intelligent" image stabilization at the software level. In this case, the camera detects moving objects and activates the quick capture mode to capture the scene as clearly as possible.

Good equipment

Fans of cable headphones may rejoice in the presence of the classic audio jack - nowadays something taken for granted, unfortunately, it is no longer. Alternatively, Bluetooth 4.2 is available for use. The mono speaker of the Honor 10, according to the test results, we find a little weak: the Huawei P20 plays noticeably louder. Nice bonus: Thanks to the infrared transmitter located on the upper side of the housing, you can control, for example, your home TV with your smartphone.

There is also a Dual-SIM slot on board, which allows you to use two mobile networks at the same time. At the same time, 4G, and with it Voice-over-LTE to improve the quality of communication, are available on both cards. The wireless charging function, however, will have to be forgotten. In addition, the USB Typ-C connector transmits data using the slow 2.0 standard.

As already mentioned, sales of Honor 10 in Russia are launched today, May 22, at 11 am, but pre-order was possible a week ago. When pre-ordering, you can get as a gift the Honor Monster 2 headphones, the Honor Band 3 fitness tracker, as well as coupons from the Delivery Club and IVI.

Dual-SIM slot allows you to simultaneously log in to two mobile networks

Excellent performance at an attractive cost offers and Sony Xperia XZ1. If you prefer the classic Sony design, you can get an equivalent device, which costs € 400 as of May 2018.

The number of premium smartphones entering the market is constantly growing. Manufacturers are trying to surprise consumers with innovative design, super-powerful filling and ever-increasing capabilities of devices. Xiaomi and Huawei are no exception, presenting two flagships to the public: Mi 8 and Honor 10. Are there any unique features in each of the devices and how similar are they? Our review will focus on the comparison of Mi 8 vs Honor 10.

What's in the box?

In both devices, the set is identical: this is a charger with a USB connection cable, a clip for extracting SIM cards, instructions in Chinese. As a nice bonus, there is a silicone case from the manufacturers.

Design: opt for a glass body

Surprisingly, both models have a case made of impact-resistant glass, which is framed by a metal frame. In order to leave less fingerprints on the surface, not only the front panel, but also the back one was equipped with an oleophobic coating.

The fashionable bangs instantly catch the eye on the display. In the G8, she became a haven for front camera, infrared scanner and emitter, automatic brightness and proximity sensors, as well as a missed event LED.

The number of sensors on the monobrow of the “dozen” is more modest, since there is a selfie camera, a speaker, an event indicator light and a proximity / brightness sensor.

The infrared port is at the top, next to the auxiliary microphone. The advantage is the 3.5-mm jack, since the modification from Xiaomi does not have such a port at all, as a result of which a special adapter is included in the package.

The big difference when comparing the Mi 8 to the Honor 10 lies in the color scheme of the case. The first model is available in gold, black, white and blue. But the product from Huawei pleasantly surprises, because, in addition to black and silver colors, it boasts a gradient "shimmering green" and "shimmering blue".

We study the dimensions

When comparing the sizes, it becomes obvious that the primacy, albeit purely symbolic, remains with the "top ten", since it is slightly thinner than its rival. So, Xiaomi Mi 8 or Honor 10? Compare for yourself: 155x75x8 mm and 150x71x7.7 mm, respectively. If the dimensions differ insignificantly, then the difference in weight will be noticeable. The weight of the eighth version is 175 grams, and the competitor is almost 20 grams lighter (153 grams).

Display: quality at an incredible height

Both flagships are equipped with high-quality displays that do an excellent job with direct sunlight, clearly and contrastingly reproduce all shades of the image.

The eighth version from Xiaomi has a 6.21-inch Super AMOLED matrix with a resolution of 2248x1080 pixels. I am glad that there is a useful Always On Display function, thanks to which information about time, date and notifications is constantly displayed on the screen.

And the rival does not have such a function, which can only be regretted. And in general, in terms of display capabilities, it loses. The physical capabilities of the IPS-screen with a resolution of 2280x1080 pixels are not enough to compare with the Super AMOLED matrix.

The bezels of both smartphones are thin, almost invisible. The aspect ratio is the same - 19: 9.

Performance: who is stronger?

Both versions are equipped with the most powerful processors at the time of release, so you can play the heaviest games at maximum settings. Be sure: nothing will freeze and slow down, smoothness and stability of the system in both cases is guaranteed.

Honor 10 Premium stands out from the rest of its counterparts primarily in appearance: the Honor 10 Premium looks more expensive than it actually is. This, as well as outstanding technical characteristics, allowed the manufacturer to sell more than 1 million units in the first weekend after the presentation. Huawei has managed to achieve an optimal price-to-build ratio. In fact, the device is "stuffed" like a flagship at a very "tasty" price.

Appearance Honor 10 Premium is attractive - there are as many as 4 color schemes. Smooth body, pleasant color reflections on the surface of the device make it stylish and attractive. The Honor 10 Premium looks like an order of magnitude more expensive than it actually is. Perfect for office workers, businessmen and young people. The device, thanks to its body, will make anyone stand out from the crowd.

Design and ergonomics

Already from the photo of Honor 10 Premium it becomes clear why he got his nickname "handsome". The body, its design is bright, outstanding. There is a special black "bangs". Moreover, the fashion for such appeared relatively recently - after the appearance of such a "chip" in products Apple... The aspect ratio of 19: 9 makes the device especially convenient.

Thanks to the thin bezels, the useful surface of the display is much more than 80%. What distinguishes the model from competitors in this price category. Installing a fingerprint sensor on the front panel made unlocking an order of magnitude easier and more convenient. The sensor itself deserves special attention - it is not optical, but ultrasonic. It is due to this that the time required for unlocking is significantly reduced.

Protective glass reduces the chance of scratches to a minimum - even intentionally damaging the screen by mechanical means is difficult. Unofficial data says the display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. There is no data on the version of this material yet. Attractive, unusually sparkling rear panel- has long been hallmark devices:

changes its shade - if you look at the panel from different angles;
the body is made of special laminated glass - it shimmers in various shades.

Color

There are three different colors available:

grey;
the black;
blue;
green.

Moreover, the last two tend to shimmer in the rays of light. The exterior of the phone was designed by a Parisian design studio. It is important to note for lovers of an active lifestyle: the developers of the device did not begin to certify the device over IP. Therefore, this model does not have any serious protection against dust and moisture.

Screen

The Honor 10 Premium's screen has a small bang under which the following is located:

speaker;
front-camera;
LED - playing the role of an indicator that notifies the user.

There is, in turn, a proximity sensor, illumination. The navigation system is simplified as much as possible. The virtual panel can be easily called up if necessary. The power button, the volume up and down swing are located on the right side of the device. It is not difficult to find the buttons themselves on the case by touch. This greatly simplifies the use of the device in the dark.

The left side of the gadget is equipped with a special tray - there are two positions. They are designed to install a nanoSIM (4FF) SIM card. Communication USB capabilities Type-C - there is support for USB 2.0. The speaker is covered with a decorative grille. There is a headphone jack - standard, 3.5 mm.

Relatively recently, many models of modern phones began to be installed infrared ports... They are used to control various equipment using a telephone. The camera lenses are unusually placed horizontally. Such a solution has one purpose - to indicate the fact of the presence of artificial intelligence. There is a special inscription-designation - AI Camera. That allows, without turning on the phone, to find out about the presence of a neural network inside the device.

The lower part of the panel is supplied with information:

specific model number;
country of assembly of the device (not production);
the name of the manufacturer.

Display

Not all competitors of the Honor 10 Premium can boast of such a high screen quality. Its main characteristics:

diagonal - 5.84 inches;
display type - Full View;
resolution - Full HD + (2,280 × 1,080 pixels).

A similar technology is used to make the screen on the Honor 9. The pixel density per inch is 432 ppi. LTPS is implemented using polysilicon. That allows you to significantly increase the viewing angles, as well as a wide palette of colors. In addition to the excellent image transmission quality, there is an order of magnitude less power consumption. The response time is tenths and hundredths of a second, depending on the load on the processor.

Reviews of the Honor 10 Premium are mostly positive. Users note the convenience of adjusting the screen temperature. There is a special circle, turning which you can move the device in two directions: warm or cold. It is possible not to engage in manual adjustment. It is enough to check the box opposite the "auto" position.

Users immediately after leaving used a special test for the device - AnTuTu Tester. Honor 10 can recognize no more than 10 clicks at a time. Which is more than enough for a device of this class. It is possible to select the view mode in the menu of the same name:

small;
large;
standard.

Interface

Depending on the selected parameter, it is determined how exactly the interface components will look. In this way, the scale of the image is adjusted. If desired, you can easily and quickly change the resolution: to a lower one, HD +. The resolution frequency will be 1 520 × 720 pixels. It should be noted that the choice of the "smart resolution" mode significantly saves the battery. There is a special display mode - "eye protection".

This option can be activated automatically: just set a schedule. Thanks to this, it is possible to significantly reduce eye fatigue. Additionally, there is a parameter for adjusting the intensity of the blue color. Any color temperature can be set.

It is worth noting that not all applications can work at a given aspect ratio of 19: 9. Launch shortcuts of those are located on a separate tab "full screen mode". The user can hide the dark niche. The owner of the device can independently choose one of two screen styles. There is also a separate menu: there is no need to place program icons on desktops.

Any problems with dirt, fingerprints do not arise. There is an oleophobic coating. Thanks to this, the screen is almost always quite clean. 2.5D effect glass.

Equipment

The review of the Honor 10 Premium smartphone speaks not only of its superiority over counterparts in this price category from a technical point of view. The complete set includes:

directly the phone itself;
network adapter;
detailed instructions in two languages;
warranty card;
USB cable;
Silicone Case;
protective film on the screen;
tool - allows you to remove the card.

The device is delivered in a cardboard box made of velvety material: it is pleasant to the touch. Reliably protects everything inside.

Honor 10 Premium specifications

The Honor 10 Premium's specs set it apart from the competition. The processor is supplied with 8 cores. Which ensures maximum performance. This is possible thanks to the new operating system. It was originally designed for multiprocessor platforms.

There is an integrated graphics subsystem: ARM Mali-G72 MP12. Memory:

operational - 4 GB;
built-in - 65 GB.

Modifications with 128 GB of RAM are available for sale.

Performance

A fairly modern mobile platform was used - on the HiSilicon Kirin 970 crystal. The processor itself includes a couple of quarters of cores at once:

4 pieces of ARM Cortex-A73 with a frequency of 2.4 GHz;
4 pieces Cortex-A53 with a frequency of 1.8 GHz.

At the same time, all the computing power works in conjunction with the 12-core ARM Mali-G72 MP12 graphics accelerator. High performance is also ensured by a dedicated subsystem for the operation of the neural network - built into the system. Such a subsystem is Kirin 970. It is thanks to the possibility of semantic segmentation that it becomes possible to identify objects in the frame.

This is what allows you to set the best parameters for shooting a particular shot. Specially developed automation analyzes the information received. The work of the neural network is significantly accelerated precisely due to the large amount of RAM. With 128GB of storage installed in the phone, there will be approximately 111GB available.

A significant disadvantage this device can be called the lack of a slot for installing a memory card. But if necessary, you can connect USB-OTG. Thanks to this connection, it is possible to connect regular flash cards via USB interface.

Cameras

When reviewing the Honor 10 Premium, one cannot fail to notice the presence of a quality camera. Moreover, both the frontal and the main one. Video filming is possible. There is a wide range of different features and nuances.

Photo

The Honor 10 Premium camera does a great job of shooting in both light and dark. The main feature of the camera is the ability to shoot with artificial intelligence. It is Huawei's own development - AI 2.0. Thanks to this option, the smartphone can analyze everything that enters the camera.

After receiving the information, the image is optimized. Moreover, this process is performed not for the entire area of the frame, but for several of its sections at once. So in a simple way the device independently, without the help of strangers, determines where the person is, the sky, and other objects. Processing of each of the areas is carried out.

The manufacturer said at the first presentation of the device that it can recognize more than 500 types of different scenes, as well as 22 different categories. Among other things, it is possible to designate the contours of individual objects, location. There are two different sensors at the same time:

16 megapixels;
24 megapixels.

These are equipped with a pair of high-aperture lenses - the aperture value of which is 1.8. Focusing is carried out quickly, literally in a split second. A similar phase method is provided - it is denoted by the abbreviation PDAF. It should be noted that in technical characteristics indicates a 3-in-1 focus type. This suggests concurrent support:

measuring the depth of field;
method of contrasts.

The resolution for the main camera is set to 5 120 × 3 840 pixels.

Video

Particularly pleased with the possibility of shooting a rear camera. The recording is carried out in high definition - 4K. The resolution will be 3,840 × 2,160 pixels. Frame rate - 30. And at less high quality the frequency can be increased to 60 FPS.

Front-camera

This camera also has outstanding performance. A 24-megapixel sensor with high-aperture optics is installed - the aperture is f / 2. The maximum resolution is 5,632 × 4,224 pixels.

Sound and quality of music playback

The sound characteristics are determined by a special circuit developed to order for this phone in Japan - Kasei Microdevices. The chip is a 32-bit stereo channel module as well as a digital-to-analog converter. There is a built-in amplifier for connected audio devices. That significantly enhances bass, volume. The operating frequency is up to 384 kHz. There is a built-in sound software.

Communication capabilities

There are as many as two slots for installing SIM cards. But it should be noted: there is only 1 radio channel available. Therefore, SIM cards do not function at the same time, in turn. The subscriber identification module is also operating: a special DSDS mode is functioning. The work is carried out in the 4G, LTE network. All bandwidths used in the territory are supported Russian Federation... Additional communication protocols:

WI-FI;
Bluetooth;
infrared port.

Operating system

The operating room is used Android system 8.1.0 Oreo with EMUI shell. It was originally designed to work with multi-core systems. Which ensures high performance. In comparison, the Honor 10 Premium significantly outperforms its counterparts in this price range.

Autonomy

The phone works long enough without recharging: the battery capacity is 3 400 mAh. The certified device included in the kit allows you to easily charge the battery completely in less than 80 minutes. The testing program evaluates the device at 8,000 points. The operating time without recharging in the video playback mode at full screen brightness is 9 hours.

Pros and cons of a smartphone

The device has both positive and negative aspects. The advantages include:

presentable appearance - provided by a metal-glass body;
powerful computing center;
comfortable operating system;
there is an artificial intelligence system;
high-quality wireless sound.

There are also some downsides. First of all - the lack of moisture protection. Also on the negative side is the lack of a stabilizer on the camera.

Comparison with competitors

The main competitor to the Honor 10 Premium is the Sony Xperia XZ22. The advantages of the latter over the Huawei product include a greater number of supported frequencies. But it should be noted that not all of them are in demand on the territory of Russia. In turn, Sony supports more advanced mobile communication protocols.

The cases of the models under consideration are similar, there are no significant differences. Used aluminum and glass. Honor also comes with a metal frame. Which makes it less fragile. This can be attributed to the advantages of the model. In turn, the Xperia XZ22 is equipped with:

waterproof IP65;
dust and moisture resistant - IP68.

The number of displayed colors, the screen protection class of the devices is completely identical. The hardware part differs slightly. In turn, Xperia is equipped with a slot for installing memory cards. Moreover, a drive with a capacity of up to 400 GB is supported. Operating system Sony - Android 8.0 Oreo. The main camera on both devices is the same. In turn, the front on Honor has a higher resolution and aperture.

Output

Honor 10 Premium attracts with outstanding performance - almost on par with the flagships of modern Korean, Chinese and American brands. Moreover, its cost is relatively low. The prestigious appearance, made of glass and metal, makes the device as attractive as possible for all categories of buyers without exception. Especially for young people, businessmen and just lovers of productive devices with a large screen diagonal.

Honor 7X has become one of the best budget phones of 2017. But it turned out that Honor is able to produce not only cheap devices. In opposition to OnePlus products, it offered the Honor View 10 with flagship-grade specs and mobile AI.

If you've been enviously looking at the gorgeous Huawei Mate 10 Pro, but its price tag is too high for you, there is a great alternative at a more affordable cost.

Honor View 10 Smartphone

Specifications

Video for clarity:

Minimal and comfortable

This review will often compare the View 10 to the Mate 10 Pro for good reason. Honor is part of Huawei, so they have common technologies... The main difference between smartphones is design.

The body is metal with a matte finish, the model in question was black, the antenna strips are located at the top and bottom. The Honor logo is in blue. The device has a minimalistic appearance, its appearance cannot be called luxurious.

Compared to other flagships like the Mate 10 Pro and OnePlus 5T, it's pretty faceless. The fingerprint scanner was placed on the front, on the back there are only cameras that extend beyond the body by a couple of millimeters.

Apart from this, the smartphone is comfortable to hold in the hand, largely due to its lightness. The case is only 6.97mm thick and the back surface gets dirty quickly with fingerprints, so it's better to use a case.

If you put the View 10 next to the Mate 10 Pro, you can immediately see which smartphone is more expensive. If you value looks and comfort in your hand, this difference is worth it. If that doesn't matter to you, then read on.

Performance

The View 10 is the second smartphone to feature the Huawei Kirin 970 chip and its neural computing unit. It allows local processing of data for artificial intelligence without sending it to servers on the Internet. The result is more high speed and confidentiality. The amount of RAM is 6 GB, flash memory is 128 GB.

Let's take a look at the benchmark results. AnTuTu: 176029. Geekbench 4: single-core 1925, multi-core 6773.3DMark Sling Shot Extreme: 2964.

These numbers are almost identical to those of the Mate 10 Pro. Honor does exactly the same thing as OnePlus, putting the most powerful processor in a less expensive smartphone.

After benchmarks and intense gaming, the View 10's case heats up noticeably. It's not dangerous, doesn't get in the way of your hand, and yet it's hotter than expected, hotter than the Mate 10 Pro. Despite this, the Kirin 970 uses gaming Android capabilities 8.0 is fully functional and offers smooth operation.

Bezels around the edges of the 6-inch FullView screen are kept to a minimum, and an LCD panel is used instead of an OLED. This means that the quality is not as high as on the Mate 10 Pro or Galaxy S8. The top and bottom bezels are larger than the machine

OnePlus 5T, the developers managed to place a fingerprint scanner in front. The aspect ratio of the screen is 18: 9, you can make applications expand to full screen.

Cameras

The ugly camera bump on the back contains a 16MP RGB sensor and a 20MP black and white sensor, a slightly different configuration from the Mate 10 Pro's camera. There is an aperture of f / 1.8 and phase detection autofocus, bokeh effect, based on the neural unit, the recognition of scenes and objects works. The latter changes camera settings such as color, contrast and exposure, all you have to do is point and press a button.

It is very interesting to use artificial intelligence, which understands what the camera sees - a sunny day, a green landscape or animals. In general, it is difficult to tell the difference between the quality of photos. This is not like HDR mode, which can be turned off and the differences can be compared. The same can be said for the flagship Huawei 10 Pro, which uses this technology.

The View 10 takes great photos. There are no Leica color mode settings like in the Mate 10 Pro, but the camera is unlikely to become worse because of this. Of particular note are monochrome photography, which does an excellent job of changing the mood of a scene, and a flexible bokeh effect that can be easily manipulated in the gallery after shooting. Portrait mode works on both front and rear cameras, the editing software is multifunctional so that third party applications you do not need to install.

In general, the camera here is excellent, the obtained photos can be boasted to others. The Leica camera is prominent in the Mate 10 Pro ad, but the View 10 is not far behind.

Software

The neural computing unit works not only with the camera. Artificial intelligence on smartphones accelerates Microsoft application"Translator", which is installed here initially. Also, the block allows faster processing of images and increases the speed of various actions.

It is almost impossible to understand where improvements are taking place or if they are happening at all. All that remains is to take our word for it, since the View 10 doesn't slow down under any load. We would like more developers to use the capabilities of such chips in the future, bringing improvements to third-party applications.

Honor has installed some artificial intelligence-based security mechanisms. The facial recognition system is very useful. Despite the Face Unlock name in the menu, it doesn't unlock the phone. Instead, it hides the lock screen notifications from prying eyes, showing only when the front camera sees your face. Others will see only the name of the application that issues the notification, but not the content of the notifications. This is similar to how Face ID works on the iPhone X.

The smartphone comes with Android 8.0 and the November security update from Google. On top of Android, the Huawei EMUI 8.0 shell is used. Android Oreo can be called a smooth, fast and logical system. Version 8.0 supports notification dots on application icons, Picture-in-Picture mode and a number of other innovations.

There are several pre-installed applications such as the Quik video editor and demos of several games, as well as an email client, calendar, file manager and other EMUI shell system applications. The apps are distributed across the home screen, but in the settings you can move them to the app list.

Autonomy, storage and audio

Flash memory = 128 GB, can be installed microSD card, so you will hardly be able to quickly use up disk space. The battery has a capacity of 3750 mAh and various power modes for extended standby time, including the Ultra Power mode, which should last for a week. The device should work without problems for a full day.

The bezel-less screen did not prevent the creators of this smartphone from installing the traditional 3.5 mm headphone jack, which is located on the lower edge of the case. Nearby is the USB-C connector for charging and data transfer. If used with the supplied charger, you will get a fast recharge. In half an hour, the device should be charged from 0 to 50%.
