Huawei’s sub-brand renewed its mid-range lineup with a couple of new devices: Honor 9X and 9X Pro. With these two handsets, the huge line-up of Huawei mid-rangers became even bigger than it was. And now somebody may feel very confused in front of such an amount of affordable phones. That is the reason why we decided to compare the newly-announced Honor 9X Pro with the other recent mid-rangers released from Huawei. The ones coming with a similar price tag launched in the last period are Huawei Nova 5 and Huawei P Smart Z. It may be very hard for some people to choose between these three devices, that is why we hope this comparison will clear their ideas in regards.

Huawei Honor 9X Pro vs Huawei P Smart Z vs Huawei Nova 5

Design

Given that they both have pop-up cameras and notch-less displays, Honor 9X Pro and Huawei P Smart Z look more futuristic and beautiful than Huawei Nova 5. Between these twos, I prefer the Honor 9X Pro because of its amazing light effects creating an X pattern on its rear side. Further, Honor 9X Pro boasts a side-mounted fingerprint reader which makes the rear side cleaner. But if you do not like pop-up cameras and you want an in-display fingerprint reader, then Huawei Nova 5 and its waterdrop notch is undoubtedly your best choice.

Display

Both Honor 9X Pro and Huawei P Smart Z are equipped with an IPS display, while Huawei Nova 5 is the only to sport a higher-end OLED panel. It is a display with a very high 108 percent DCI-P3 coverage, so it shows more brilliant and accurate colors, as well as deeper blacks. On the other hand, it is the smallest panel with a diagonal of just 6.39 inches, while both Honor 9x Pro and Huawei P Smart Z have 6.59-inch displays.

Specs & Software

Huawei P Smart Z loses the hardware comparison at the beginning because it is simply equipped with a lower-end chipset and it comes in just one configuration with 4 GB of RAM  and 64 GB of internal storage. Honor 9X Pro is definitely the most impressive because it boasts a better Kirin 810 chipset realized with a 7 nm production process, 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Huawei Nova 5 has exactly the same hardware department but just 128 GB of internal storage.

Camera

The most complete and versatile camera setup belongs to the Huawei Nova 5 which is equipped with a quad rear camera. It includes an amazing 48 MP main sensor, a 16 MP wide sensor, a depth sensor, and even a dedicated macro camera. Last but not least, it has a better selfie camera than its internal rivals, with a 32 MP resolution. The Honor 9X Pro has a triple rear camera, it lacks the dedicated macro camera and it has a lower resolution for the ultrawide sensor, but it retains the 48 MP main sensor. The less impressive one is the Huawei P Smart Z with just a 16 MP dual camera.

Battery

The weakest point of the Huawei Nova 5 is its battery which comes with only 3500 mAh of capacity (it still offers a more than sufficient battery life), but it is able to charge very quickly thanks to its awesome 40W fast charging. Huawei P Smart Z and Honor 9X Pro have the same 4000 mAh battery but we believe Honor 9X Pro will last more because it boasts a more efficient chipset (12 nm vs 7 nm).

Huawei P Smart Z, the first Huawei phone with notch-less display and pop-up selfie camera was recently unveiled in Europe markets. It is a mid-range smartphone from the company that is fueled by the Kirin 710 SoC. Fresh information shared by 91mobiles reveals that the Chinese firm is now gearing up to release the smartphone in India.

The publication claims that it will be receiving new information on the arrival of P Smart Z smartphone in India in the coming weeks. Hence, there are no details on the launch date and pricing of the smartphone for Indian markets. In Europe, the handset carries a price tag of 279 euros (~$313; ~Rs. 22,050).

Huawei P Smart Z Specifications

The Huawei P Smart Z measures 163.5 x 77.3mm. The handset weighs 196.8 grams and its thickness is 8.8mm. The smartphone features a big IPS LCD display of 6.59 inches. The notch-less screen carries support for 19.5:9 aspect ratio and full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels.

The Kirin 710F SoC that includes an octa-core processor that works at 2.2 GHz powers the smartphone with 4 GB of RAM. The handset includes an inbuilt storage of 64 GB. There is a microSD card slot for expanding the storage of the device.

An LED flash enabled dual camera setup with a f/1.8 aperture 16-megapixel primary sensor and an f/2.4 aperture 2-megapixel depth sensor is also available on the backside of the phone. It is equipped with a motorized 16-megapixel pop-up selfie snapper.

If you are searching for the best smartphone for quality-price ratio, you have a lot of choices to evaluate in Huawei’s line-up. The company recently announced its most famous mid-range phones of the year: Huawei P30 Lite and Honor 20 Lite, from the main series to its core business and its sub-brand. Yesterday, the Chinese giant even launched its first smartphone with a pop-up selfie camera, and it is a mid-ranger as well: we are talking about the Huawei P Smart Z. Is it worth choosing this brand new and different device from the P Smart series or it is better to opt for the P30 Lite or the Honor 20 Lite? This comparison will help you find out.

Huawei P Smart Z vs Huawei P30 Lite vs Honor 20 Lite

Design

The design is undoubtedly the main focus of the Huawei P Smart Z. As said above, it is the first Huawei’s phone with a pop-up front camera, which allows the display to reach a screen-to-body ratio close to 100 percent without the need of a notch, neither a punch-hole display. A trend launched by Vivo with the NEX, and it is becoming one of the most used solutions to get rid of bezels around the display. Further, the Huawei P Smart Z comes with a very attractive Google Pixel-like back cover composed of two pieces of different colors. Huawei P30 Lite and Honor 20 Lite are still very beautiful with their waterdrop display and their stunning glass backs available in gradient hues, but Huawei P Smart Z is definitely more original and innovative.

Display

Even when it comes to the display, Huawei P Smart Z is my favorite one. It has a wider 6.59-inch panel which is more comfortable for multimedia and productivity, as well as high brightness, good viewing angles, and no notch. It is still a midrange-class panel, but it is definitely more interesting than Huawei P30 Lite and Honor 20 Lite. On the other hand, Huawei P30 Lite offers a smaller and more compact display (easy to use with one hand) with similar quality.

Specs & Software

Huawei P Smart Z is powered by the new Kirin 710F chipset, while Huawei P30 Lite and Honor 20 Lite are equipped with the Kirin 710. According to Huawei, these two processors offer the same performance but different packaging processes. So, what really makes the difference is the memory configuration. And under this point of view, Huawei P Smart Z loses the comparison. Indeed, Huawei P30 Lite and Honor 20 Lite (Chinese version only for the latter) come with up to 6 GB of RAM, while Huawei P Smart Z stops at 4 GB. In each case, you get Android Pie out of the box customized by EMUI.

Camera

Again, Huawei P Smart Z is the loser here. It has an average dual camera and it is far from being a true camera phone. In its most expensive variant, with its triple camera setup composed of a main 48 MP sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens and a 2 MP depth sensor, Huawei P30 Lite wins the camera comparison. But if we consider front cameras, then Honor 20 Lite is better with its astonishing 32 MP selfie snapper.

Battery

Alongside its innovative design, the battery is the strongest point of the Huawei P Smart Z. It wins the battery life comparison thanks to a big 4000 mAh unit, while Huawei P30 Lite and Honor 20 Lite are equipped with average 3400 and 3350 mAh batteries.

Price

Honor 20 Lite costs €299/$335 in the global market (4/128 GB), Huawei P Smart Z costs €280/$315 (4/64 GB) and Huawei P30 Lite starts from €290/$325 (4/128 GB). Overall, Huawei P Smart Z looks better due to its big battery, bigger display, and more innovative design. But if you want higher-end cameras, then go for the Huawei P30 Lite.

The Huawei P Smart Z is Huawei‘s first phone with a pop-up selfie camera. It is yet to be officially announced but it was listed briefly on Amazon Italy and then taken down later. Thanks to those who saw it, we now have a confirmation of the phone’s specs as well as its retail price.

The P Smart Z will have a 6.59-inch display with an FHD+ (2340 x 1080) resolution. The display has curved corners, an aspect ratio of 19.5:9, and a ppi of 391 but there is no mention of Gorilla Glass protection. The phone, which comes in Black, Blue and Green, has pretty thin bezels save for the chin which is a bit thicker.

There is a Kirin 710 processor under the hood and it is paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It also has a MicroSD card slot that allows you to expand the storage capacity. The mechanical pop-up selfie camera which is the USP of the phone is a 16MP f/2.0 sensor with support for Face Unlock.

Amazon listed the device for €279 which roughly converts to $310/CNY 2095. The order will ship with a free 16GB MicroSD card. Amazon has pulled down the page but we expect it to be back up when the device is officially unveiled. However, don’t expect a special event, this will most likely be just an online launch.

Few hours ago, the Dutch-based MobielKopen publication had shared the leaked renders and specifications of the upcoming Huawei P Smart Z smartphone. What’s interesting about this phone is that it is the company’s first phone to features a notch-less display as well as a pop-up selfie camera. Now, reliable tipster and industry expert Evan Blass has shared high-resolution official render of the same phone to give a clearer of its design.

The new render shows that there are three attractive things about the design of the Huawei P Smart Z. First, it features a large-sized display without a notch. It allows the phone to offer a very high screen-to-body ratio. Second, it is equipped with a pop-up selfie camera. Lastly, the rear panel of the P Smart Z sports a two-tone design like the Google Pixel phones.

The first-generation Pixel phones had the fingerprint scanner placed in the upper shiny portion of the back panel. However, on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 series, the size of the shiny portion was reduced, and the fingerprint scanner was placed on the matte potion on the rear panel. The Huawei P Smart Z’s two-tone design is similar to the original Pixel series. A dual camera setup with LED flash and a fingerprint scanner is placed in the upper glossy portion whereas the matte portion is almost barren as it features only a Huawei logo at the bottom-left corner. The volume buttons and power key are placed on the right edge of the smartphone.

Huawei P Smart Z Specifications and Price

The Huawei P Smart Z is a big-sized phone since it measures 163.5 x 77.3. Its thickness is 8.9mm and it weighs 197 grams. The handset houses a 6.59-inch IPS LCD display that offers full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and 19.5:9 aspect ratio. The Kirin 710 SoC is present under the hood of the device. The chipset will be supported by 4 GB of RAM. For storage, the P Smart Z will offer users with a native storage of 64 GB and a microSD card slot.

The P Smart Z features a pop-ups selfie camera of 16-megapixel with f/2.0 aperture. The dual camera setup has f/1.8 aperture 16-megapixel main sensor and an f/2.4 aperture 2-megapixel depth sensor. The handset will be drawing power from a 4,000mAh capacity battery.

More manufacturers are joining the Vivo pop-up selfie camera train. The latest passenger to come aboard is Huawei with its upcoming P Smart Z whose renders have been leaked.

The Huawei P Smart Z will have a full-screen display with only a small bezel at the bottom. The top and side bezels have been shaved off and the selfie camera now has a new home. The phone’s front-facing camera will slide out from the left side of the frame in a similar fashion to the Vivo NEX.

On the back, the Huawei P Smart Z will have dual rear cameras. The sensors are on the left alongside an LED flash, and there is a fingerprint scanner in the middle. The back of the phone has curved sides for a more comfortable grip. The power button and volume rocker are on the right side frame of the device.

The P Smart Z will have a 6.59-inch 1080 x 2340 display with a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, according to the source.

The first quarter of the year is almost over and there are already a lot of new phones in the market but with 9 months left in the year, there are still several more that will be released. Yesterday, a number of new devices were approved by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC). Some are successors to already existing models and others are new models entirely.

Honor 20 and Honor 20 Pro

Thanks to trademark applications filed by Huawei last year, we already know the successors to the Honor 10 series will not be the Honor 11 but the Honor 20. The Honor 20 series will include the Honor 20 itself, the Honor 20A, Honor 20C, and Honor 20X.

The EEC documents reveal the Honor 20 will have the model number YAL-L21 and it will bring along the Honor 20 Pro whose model number is YAL-L41. The Honor 20 will be a flagship phone with a Kirin 980 processor. There are reports it will have a triple camera setup on its rear which includes a 48MP primary sensor paired with a 20MP secondary sensor and another 8MP sensor. It has also been reported that it will have a 32MP selfie camera, a 3,650mAh battery, and run Android 9 Pie out of the box. There is no info on the Honor 20 Pro but we expect a bigger display, a bigger battery, and a different camera configuration.

Huawei Y5 (2019) and Huawei P Smart Z

Huawei already launched the Huawei Y6 (2019) and the Huawei Y7 (2019). The EEC documents reveal there will be a Huawei Y5 (2019) too. The phone has the model number AMN-LX9 and should have fewer features compared to the Y6 and Y7.

Another phone called the Huawei P Smart Z also received approval. The device’s model number is STK-LX1 which is identical to that of another phone called the Huawei P Smart Pro which also got approved by the EEC about a week ago.

There is no information on the specs of these phones.

Realme 3 Pro, Vivo 1901 and Vivo 1902

Huawei and Honor are not the only brands that got EEC approvals. Realme also got approval for its upcoming Realme 3 Pro. Vivo’s entry-level Vivo 1901 and Vivo 1902 which were seen on Geekbench last week have also been approved by the European agency.
