Highlights & Thoughts
- Pros: Ultra-slim design, large 7-inch AMOLED display, high RAM options, big battery with fast charging, versatile rear camera setup.
- Cons: Uses Kirin 9020 chipset, which is a bit older due to US sanctions; HarmonyOS may feel unfamiliar for Android users.
Bottom line: If Huawei launches it in Nepal at ~NPR 90k, it offers a sleek, premium design with a large display and solid specs, but it may face stiff competition from other flagships like the Vivo X300 Pro and Galaxy S25 FE.
