Huawei has equipped the third sensor in its main camera with a new technology for ultra-spectrum imaging, which the company explained is capable of detecting details that the naked eye does not appreciate in low light. It also has a 10x digital zoom and auto focus.

Inside, the new flexible “smartphone” with a Snapdragon 888 processor works in its version with only 4G, up to 12 GB of RAM, 512 GB of storage and 4000 mAh with fast charging 40W. The alternative Android operating system uses Huawei’s HarmonyOS 2.

It has a fingerprint reader on the side, and like Samsung’s foldable Galaxy Z Fold 3 series, it has IP68 certified water and dust resistance.
