— the same configuration that powers the recently announced Mate X. Huawei
claims that the Balong 5000 is the first of its kind to support both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) network
architectures for 5G.
The device packs 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal
storage, with support for storage expansion up to 256GB using a microSD card.

40MP + 20MP + 8MP sensors along with an LED flash. On the front side, it comes
