Unfortunately, we have yet to confirm the official specifications of the phone nor do we know if it will have the same or similar specs as the China only variant.
So far, we are impressed by the build and design. We are also pleased that a silicone case, a USB-A to C and a 80W SuperVOOC charger is included in the box.
We will have to wait for the official launch on November 21, 2024, until we can have a better look on the new smartphone.
