Huawei has announced a brand new phone today in China. The Huawei Enjoy Z 5G is the manufacturer’s first 5G smartphone not powered by a Kirin processor. Instead, Huawei has opted for MediaTek’s Dimensity 800 5G processor.
The use of the Dimensity 800 is to provide affordable 5G devices for consumers. With a starting price of ¥1699 (~$238), that aim has been met. The Huawei Enjoy Z packs a number of interesting features alongside 5G support.
