It\u2019s also odd in offering a choice of two processors: buyers happy with 12GB of RAM will get the Kirin 9020B chip, while upgrading to 16GB bumps you up to a Kirin 9020A \u2014 though both are simply downclocked versions of the regular Kirin 9020. A triple rear camera, including a 12-megapixel telephoto, is also a boon for a phone this thin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1ymtmqpi _17nnmdy1 _17nnmdy0 _1xwtict1\">It\u2019s China-only, at least for now, and starts from \u00a54,199 (around $590).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Huawei is the latest phone manufacturer to release a thin phone: the Mate 70 Air.
