According to the leak, the price of this particular variant will be CNY2,498 ($350/€325). We’re yet to see how the Dimensity 1000+ performs in real life, but at least on paper, it’s a powerful chipset. Apart from the brand new SoC, the handset will also come with an LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 44W fast-charging. This will be one of the best value for money phones if you want to try 5G. Thanks to a couple of leaked images we also know that it will sport a punch-hole camera in the top-left corner.
More details should keep popping out in the coming days. After all, we’re just six days away from the release.
