  2. Extremely Expensive: Comes with a very high price point that makes it inaccessible to many users.
  3. Limited Availability: Primarily available in the Chinese market, making it hard to purchase globally.
  4. Software Issues: Relies on HarmonyOS, which may not offer the same app ecosystem familiarity as Android/iOS.

  6. Potential Overheating: The Kirin 9000S chip can run hot during intensive gaming or extended tasks.
  7. Fragility Concerns: As with all foldables, the inner screen is delicate and prone to crease visibility over time.
  8. Slow App Installation: Requires workarounds like AppGallery or third-party apps for popular Western services.
  9. Accessories Availability: Finding specific, high-quality cases and screen protectors can be challenging outside China.
  10. Front Camera Quality: The 8MP selfie camera is considered average compared to the premium rear cameras.
