But unlike other durable phones, this one isn’t bulky and still looks normal. In fact, it’s a stunner with fancy color options, a large circular glass for the cameras, a curved screen, and a thin design that’s only 7.9mm. It’s also lightweight at only 175g.

The screen quality itself is also really interesting. It’s a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED panel for vibrant colors, has a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and is responsive to every touch at 300Hz. We also have the fingerprint scanner underneath the screen.

On top of the screen, there’s a punch-hole to hold the 16-megapixel main camera. While on the back, there’s a triple camera setup that includes a 64-megapixel main camera, 5-megapixel ultra-wide, and 2-megapixel macro lens.

Despite its thin design, it managed to have a 5,100mAh battery, which is even slightly larger than what most phones have. Charging is done using the 40W HONOR SuperCharge via the USB Type-C port.

Under the hood, it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, which also brings 5G connectivity to the device. It’s available in a single configuration with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of non-expandable storage.

Software is handled by the Android 12 operating system with HONOR’s MagicUI 6.1 interface.
