Huawei Maimang 8: A close look at the device from the flip side reveals a familiar looking design – a design akin to that of the Huawei P20 Pro with a triple camera setup in 2+1 cluster, though the Maimang 8 gets a fingerprint scanner beside the camera setup. It gets a 24MP primary camera, a 16MP ultra-wide-angle camera, alongside a 2MP depth camera, while it gets a single 8MP above the display for selfies. The camera app includes features with auto scene detection, AI night mode, and 480 fps slow motion video.
On the display front, the device is fitted with a 6.21-inch Full HD TUV Rheinland certified display with a water-drop notch, 19:5:9 aspect ratio, 89% screen-to-body ratio, and under the hood is the Kirin 710 SoC with GPU Turbo 2.0, while it boots Android 9.0 (Pie) with EMUI 9.0 on top.
