The Maimang 10 has officially been released today in China by China Telecom for 2,299 yuan (US$ 360). Maimang, previously known as Huawei Maimang, has changed ownership and is now under China Telecom. Additionally, the phone’s branding has also changed, and as of now, it will go by ‘Maimang’. This change of ownership and branding might be due to the chip ban sanctioned on Huawei, which prevents Huawei to secure any chips made by TSMC, which is the leading contract manufacturer for chipsets.
The Maimang 10 features an ergonomic
design with a curved back and rounded edges. It has a thickness of around 8.3mm
and weighs a mere 179 grams. The Maimang 10 comes with a 6.6-inch 2400×1080 LCD
display with a 94.2% screen-to-body ratio. Additionally, it features a 90hz
refresh rate and 180Hz touch response rate. The screen has a punch hole cutout
for its front camera, placed in the top center.
In the photography department, the Maimang
10 features a triple camera setup with a 40-megapixel AI primary sensor,
8-megapixel ultrawide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The device also
features a 16-megapixel snapper for selfies and video calls.
Under the hood, the device houses a 5G
enabled MediaTek Dimensity 720 SoC consisting of four fast ARM Cortex-A76 cores
and four power-efficient Cortex-A55 cores, all clocked at 2 GHz. The GPU
present on the SoC is the Mali-G57. The device comes with 8GB of RAM paired
with 128GB of internal storage expandable via a micro-SD card. The Maimanf 10
