+A 200MP telephoto lens, unprecedented in Huawei phones
+Main lens with a true variable aperture across ten steps
+100W wired and 80W wireless charging

−No official Google services
−Side-mounted fingerprint reader instead of under-display
−Very high price, and unofficial distribution in some Arab markets

+A high-quality display with very high peak brightness of up to 2,600 nits.

−Wired (25W) and wireless charging speeds are modest compared to some competitors in the same price bracket.
