With a 5.15-inch Full HD display, this is on par as the Huawei P10 in almost angle except for the missing Leica brand and dual edge design at the back. The camera setup is 20MP black and white sensor and a 12MP color coupled with an 8MP f2.0 selfie snapper.

Inside is a HiSilicon Kirin 960 chipset with octa-core processor and a decent built-in graphics. Meanwhile, the storage options start at 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and max up to 6GB RAM + 128GB storage–all these come with a 3,200 mAh built-in battery and fast charging.

The phone will be available in blue, silver (gray), gold, and black with a starting price of $320 (P16,000 Philippine pesos before taxes) for the base model of 4+64GB and $400 (P19,000) for the 6+64GB option. And for the most loaded one, you have to shelve out about $440 (P22,000) for the 128GB model which is a good deal considering the price of other mid-range competitors.

Remember all these prices are subject to change due to the difference of taxes and tariffs. All models will be released this week in China and expected to arrive soon in other countries including the Philippines.
