GoSolo Read / what it means6 takeaways

display

6.53" OLED, 1080×2400, 403 ppiThe 1080p resolution on a 6.53-inch screen gives sharp text and images at 403 ppi, with OLED color and contrast making outdoor readability decent in bright sun.

battery

3800 mAh, about 4 to 5 hours screen timeA 3800 mAh battery in 2020 translates to roughly a half-day of moderate use; you will need to recharge by evening if you use the phone heavily.

charging

66W wired, full charge in 35 minThe 66W charger reaches 60% in 15 minutes and 100% in 35 minutes, so you can grab a quick top-up before leaving the house.

performance

Mediatek Dimensity 720, light gamingThe Dimensity 720 (standard) or 800U (premium) handles everyday tasks and messaging smoothly; expect older titles or simpler mobile games at medium settings, not demanding 3D games.

camera

64MP main with f/1.9, ultrawide, macroThe 64MP sensor with f/1.9 aperture and PDAF focuses well in daylight, the 120° ultrawide captures group shots, and the macro lens handles close-up detail, but video maxes out at 4K@30fps.

connectivity

5G, Wi-Fi 5, no Google Play Store5G support (bands 1/28/41/77/78) and Wi-Fi ac provide fast data where available, but the phone ships without Google Play Services, requiring Huawei's AppGallery for apps.
