l The Smart Remote can be used with home electronics that have accompanying infrared remotes. It does not work with devices that use Bluetooth or other non-infrared remote controls.
l The remote control will not work when you are in a video call, when there is a phone call in the background, when there is a third-party app sending a voice message, or while the earpiece speaker is in use.
l There is no unified industry standard for infrared codes. This means the Smart Remote may not be able to control some home electronics.
l Turn your phone into a universal remote control: Add your home electronics to the Smart Remote and you won't have to worry about misplacing remotes any more. The remote control buttons can be customized to fit your own preferences so the remote is easier to use.
l Use your phone as a remote control for your camera: Take better group photos by using your phone as a remote control for your camera. Smart Remote helps you to get the best shot and capture natural expressions when taking photos.

Phone with two user accounts, such as one for work and one for personal use, and quickly switch between them with a single touch.
You can create three different types of users:

l User: Add family members and close friends as users. Users can perform most actions but cannot perform actions that will affect the owner, such as restoring the device to factory settings or enabling Do not disturb mode.
l Guests: Add casual acquaintances as guests. Guests can only perform a limited number of actions.
VoLTE: Make Calls and Use Data at the Same Time VoLTE (Voice over LTE) allows both call and data services to be carried on the same 4G network, which means you can use the Internet even while making calls. VoLTE also provides you with shorter call connection times and higher quality voice and video calls.
Both of your phone's SIM card slots support 4G, VoLTE, and VoWiFi, so there is no need to switch SIMs back and forth.
l Dual 4G: Both of your phone's SIM card slots support 4G.
l Dual VoLTE: Both of your phone's SIM card slots support VoLTE, allowing you to use the Internet while making HD calls.
l Dual VoWiFi: Both of your phone's SIM card slots support VoWiFi, which allows calls to be made using Wi-Fi. You can use VoWiFi to make calls even in Airplane mode.

New Device
15
SIM card lock

Malicious website recognition
Opening the malicious website recognition function will automatically identify any harmful sites linked in SMS messages and issue a safety prompt, helping you avoid any unnecessary harm.
Harassment filter
Phone Manager includes a harassment filter function, allowing you to set up a blacklist, enable smart blocking, and take other security measures to prevent you from being targeted by telemarketers, scammers, and other unwanted persons, letting you use your Phone with greater peace of mind.
App lock Activating App lock helps you encrypt the selected app, and makes it require a password to be accessed. This prevents the unauthorized use of your Phone's key functions by others.

PrivateSpace PrivateSpace is a private and convenient space on your Phone, used to save your private photos or files, and can be accessed with a fingerprint or password different from that used by your MainSpace.
Water and Dust Resistance Operation Under controlled tests, the device is splash, water, and dust resistant. The resistance level reaches IP67 as described by the international standard IEC 60529. Splash, water, and dust resistance are not permanent, and resistance may decrease as a result of normal wear over time. Do not charge the device in wet conditions.
To prevent damage caused by liquid, do not: l Expose the device to pressurized or high-speed water. For example, carrying the device with
you when taking a shower, swimming, sailing, and surfing.
l Use the device in the environment with high temperature and humidity. For example, using the device in the saunas, spas, and bathrooms.
l Expose the device to liquids other than pure water. For example, sea water, pond water, salt water, beverages containing alcohol or sugar, cosmetic lotions, or detergent.
l Intentionally soak the device in water or place it in other environments that may cause damage.
l Connect the device to accessories or charge it when it is wet.
l Allow the device to be dropped or impacted against, or disassembled by anyone other than authorized repair technicians.
New Device
16
l Use the device when the card tray is not properly inserted.
If the device has already soaked in liquid, do as follows: l Avoid drying the device using external heat sources (such as, hairdryers and microwave
ovens). Avoid placing objects such as cotton swabs and tissues into the charging port or speaker holes.
l Thoroughly wipe the device dry, then place it in a dry and ventilated environment. Place the device in front of the fan. Let the fan blow cold air against the charging port and speaker holes. This may dry the device faster.
l If the device has been dropped in water or the microphone, receiver, or speaker are wet, the sound may not be clear during a call. To rectify this issue, refer to the aforementioned operations.
l If the device gets exposed to liquid, do not connect the device to any accessories, and use a piece of clean, soft cloth (for example, camera lens cloth) to wipe the device dry. Do not charge the device immediately. Make sure the device is dried enough before charging it or connecting it to any accessories. If in doubt, take your device to the nearest authorized Huawei Service Center for assistance.
l The device has oleo-phobic (oil resistant) layer on it. The oleo-phobic layer will wear out over time. Cleaning and corrosive products will decrease the oil resistance of this layer, and may damage the device.
l Notwithstanding the foregoing, the device may still be damaged in particular situations.
