Midrange

EDITORIAL: (the star after phone’s name indicates that we are still waiting for actual tests to be completed. My score string here is based on what we know so far and it is subject to change) Huawei’s 2025 flagship comes with a midrange performance processor and a brand new HarmonyOS based on Android 13 but everything else about this phone is flagship grade. The main camera system however, could be the best in the world – we’re waiting for actual tests to confirm this. Huawei committed early on to including a very good desktop replacement feature with all of their top tier phones. A 100W power adapter is likely to be included as well.

PROs
a (likely) 2-day battery endurance 5700mAh Silicone Carbon battery with 100W wired (80W wireless) fast charging, a IP69 water protection, 50MP main + 48MP tele lenses with OIS plus 40MP ultrawide (all with PDAF) and a Desktop replacement software too
CONs
this is a China-only phone, midrange performance of Kirin 9020 chip, a no-AF Selfie, lack of expandable memory and real concerns over the future OS updates (updated Apr 7, 2025)

13+13+11+12+12+3+4+0+5+0 = 73

EDITORIAL: (this is a pre-test listing based on reasonable expectations of battery charging speed as well was photo, video and software performance) Oppo brings an iterative upgrade with narrower body, best Dimensity chip, UFS 4.1 memory architecture, ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, brighter screen and Bluetooth 6.0 but the biggest upgrades is the 7000mAh battery that delivers 2 day endurance. The back and front cameras remain the same with minor tweaks. Design and build are the same: flagship (tho a bit bland). Screen didn’t get LTPO tech and the selfie remains sans-AF: the weakest part of this excellent phone. Oppo also added more AI tricks and a new customizable function button.

PROs
excellent build, very fast Mediatec 9500 with UFS 4.1 performance, 2day endurance from a 7000mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min 80W charging (50W wireless). bright >1400nits 460ppi AMOLED screen with 3800Hz PWM, Dolby Vision and HDR10+, IP69 protection. excellent photos from the 50MP OIS main + 50MP OIS periscope telephoto + 50MP ultrawide (all with multi-directional PDAF), up to 5 updates of very stable and modern OS packed with AI features
CONs
wide and hard to use one-hand, no LTPO tech, no AF on mediocre selfie, no SDmemory slot, no video out or desktop replacement functionality (added Oct 19, 2025)
