Like its cousins, HONOR highlights its durability features. It is drop-resistant up to a height of 1.8 meters, has an IP64 dust and water resistance rating, and comes with a Rainproof touch display.
On the front, it has a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED screen with a high 120Hz refresh rate. Keeping the lights on is a 5,000mAh battery with 35W fast charging. It runs on the latest Android 15-based MagicOS 9.
It comes with a 4G-only Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 processor, with 8GB of RAM, and a whopping 512GB of storage. HONOR AI Eraser also made it to the device.
