Due to American sanctions, Huawei cannot buy foreign single-chip platforms with a built-in 5G modem, but it is still possible to get 5G support on Huawei flagships: this is done with the help of an accessory – a cover. This has long been offered, for example, by the Huawei P50 Pro – and now a similar accessory has been launched in China for the latest P60 and P60 Pro.

The cost of the Soyealink cover is $115. Its dimensions are 167.5 x 77.8 x 13.8 mm, weight – 53.5 g. A UDX 710 chip with two Arm Cortex Cortex-A55 cores with a frequency of 1350 MHz, an eSIM and a baseband processor with support for FDD, TD-LTE There is, and indeed, 5G.

The cover connects to the smartphone via the USB-C port and does not affect the charging speed in any way. Also, its use does not affect the quality of the signal reception, but the smartphone discharges faster, because the “filling” of the cover also consumes a lot.
