The phone uses HONOR Anti-scratch NanoCrystal Shield on the outer display and UTG flexible glass on the inner display. It also features the HONOR Super Steel Hinge, which the company said has a tensile strength of 2,800 MPa and uses an AI-assisted bionic cushioning system developed through simulations to absorb impact and distribute force during drops and daily use.

The device includes a 6.52-inch outer display and a 7.95-inch inner foldable display, both supporting adaptive 1–120 Hz refresh rates. HONOR said the outer screen reaches a peak brightness of 6,000 nits, while the inner screen reaches 5,000 nits. Both displays also include eye-comfort technologies such as 4320 Hz PWM dimming.
