PROS

  1. Phenomenal camera system: Features one of the best rear camera setups on the market, especially for low-light photography.
  2. Incredible 5x Optical Zoom: The 12MP periscope lens produces sharp images even at 10x hybrid zoom.
  3. Extremely fast 66W wired charging: Fully charges the 4400mAh battery in just over 45 minutes.
  4. Impressive 50W wireless charging: Offers one of the fastest wireless charging speeds available.
  5. Powerful Kirin 9000 5nm Chipset: Excellent CPU performance and power efficiency for a 2020 flagship.
  6. Gorgeous OLED Display: High-quality, vibrant 90Hz "Horizon" display with very steep, attractive curves.
  7. Secure 3D Face Unlock: Features a dedicated 3D depth sensor for secure facial recognition, even in the dark.
  8. Premium Build Quality: IP68 water/dust resistance with a striking "Space Ring" camera design.
  9. Loud Stereo Speakers: Top and bottom speakers offer immersive audio quality.
  10. Useful Extras: Includes IR Blaster for controlling appliances and fast in-display fingerprint sensor.

CONS

  1. No Google Mobile Services (GMS): Lack of Play Store, YouTube, Gmail, and Maps makes it hard for most users.
  2. High Price: Extremely expensive flagship, making the lack of GMS harder to justify.
  3. Unintuitive App Installation: Reliance on Huawei AppGallery and Petal Search requires technical workarounds (sideloading).
  4. No 120Hz Refresh Rate: Screen capped at 90Hz, which lags behind competitors offering 120Hz or 144Hz.
  5. Large Front Punch-Hole: The dual-lens selfie camera cutout is distracting and takes up significant space.
  6. Proprietary Storage Cards: Uses NM (Nano Memory) cards instead of standard microSD, which are more expensive.
  7. No Headphone Jack: Standard for modern flagships, but worth noting for wired audio users.
  8. Waterfall Display Issues: Steeply curved edges can cause unwanted glare or accidental touches, though palm rejection is good.
  9. Limited Banking/Apps: Many banking apps and apps relying on Google frameworks may not work properly.
  10. Difficult to Acquire: Not widely available in many western markets, making warranty support difficult
