Huawei P Smart Z is the first smartphone from Huawei to don a retractable camera. We’ve seen punch-hole designs, dewdrop notch and U-notch from the brand all in the bid to extend screen estate. However, this takes the game to a different level. There’s practically no hindrance on the phone’s display fullness. Although it is Huawei’s first, OEMs like Vivo and Oppo have already dished out devices with such mechanism. That said, let’s check out the smartphone’s details properly.

Design and Display
The Huawei P Smart Z weighs about 197g, which is quite huge in this era of portability. Well, that appears to be the price to pay for moving parts that are extra on the device. You can only notice this extra part (pop-up camera) when the front camera is enabled in the Camera app. That aside, the 8.8mm thickness offers you a slightly thin device that’s as wide as 77.3mm.
Upon this huge smartphone, there’s a large 6.59-inch LTPS IPS display with 19:5 aspect ratio. Looking at the size of the display, the phone’s weight is more justified than we can think. Away from that, the touchscreen functions with a stellar 1080 x 2340 pixels equating 391ppi pixel density.
Battery and Camera
No excuses can justify Huawei’s action if a 4,000mAh battery didn’t serve as the duration stronghold. That way, the smartphone can run for more than a day on intensive usage before you take a trip to the charging outlet. Rather than the MicroUSB v2.0, Huawei P Smart Z charges through the Type-C USB.
One of the most eye-catching features of this smartphone is the motorized pop-up 16MP shooter. It captures fantastic selfies, as well as 1080p videos with ease. The back cameras are composed of a 16MP wide camera and 2MP depth sensor with LED flash support. There’s the implementation of AI beauty for scene recognition during imagery.
Hardware and Software
Huawei opted for the Kirin 710F SoC as the chipset of this device. With the complications of Qualcomm pulling away from trades with Huawei, we might see more of Huawei phones with the in-house chipset. Back to the topic, the chipset is tagged with 4GB RAM for smoother actions and performance. The 64GB storage can be increased to 1TB once a MicroSD card of such capacity is utilized. Taking on the software roles are the Android Pie OS and Emotion UI 9.
