That cam bump sports 3 big great voids for its 3 cams, with the unique upper-middle lens holding the enormous 180-megapixel telephoto sensing unit. The remainder of the electronic camera module has a green pattern you might refer to as a wave or a swirl that is not unlike the marble look of the back of the abovementioned OnePlus 12.

On the front, you get a substantial 6.8-inch LTPO Quad curved drifting screen with a selfie cam and 3D TOF sensing unit at the top in a do not-call-me-a-dynamic-island narrow punch hole– more on that later on. The surrounding edge of the phone has a gold trim which stands out and complements the green. You will either enjoy it or dislike it, however it definitely stands apart.

On the within, you get 12 GB of RAM together with 512 GB of storage and a second-generation silicon-cabon battery which Honor embraced in order to bring more power to smaller sized plans.
