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.

Huawei Enjoy Z Specifications

The Enjoy Z 5G has a 6.5-inch display with a Dewdrop notch at the top for the selfie camera. Huawei says the screen, with its 2400 x 1080 resolution and 90Hz refresh rate, has a 91.2% screen-to-body ratio. It also has a touch sampling rate of 180Hz.

Buyers will be able to choose from three variants – 6GB+64GB, 6GB+128GB, and 8GB+128GB. There is support for storage expansion via a NanoMemory card slot (256GB). For those who don’t know, Huawei isn’t the only one making NM cards, Lexar also makes and they start at ¥199 (~$28) for the 64GB capacity.
