For comparison, the standard Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max came with a price tag of CNY 7,999 (roughly Rs. 1,03,000) for the 16GB + 512GB RAM and storage configuration.

The display has 455ppi pixel density and has second-generation Kunlun glass protection.
Under the hood, the Huawei Mate 80 Pro Max has a Kirin 9030 Pro chipset coupled with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The handset features a biomimetic wing-shaped turbofan for heat dissipation during gaming and live streaming sessions. Huawei says the handset supports 90fps and ray tracing for a high-frame-rate experience for effortless combat. It offers Huawei's HyperSpace Memory technology for expanding the available memory up to 20GB virtually.
