one device to easily take control of a wide variety of electronics (such as TVs, air conditioners,
set-top boxes, DVD players, cameras, projectors, and streaming boxes).
2
Exciting Features
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.

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

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.

Smart Remote
Smart Remote: Control Your Home Electronics with Your Phone
Smart Remote allows you to control your household appliances using your phone. You only need
one device to easily take control of a wide variety of electronics (such as TVs, air conditioners,
set-top boxes, DVD players, cameras, projectors, and streaming boxes).
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.
96
Utilities
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.
Use Smart Remote to Control Your Home Electronics
Use Smart Remote to add, customize, and set up remote controls, allowing effortless control of
your electronic appliances through your phone.
l
For aesthetic reasons, your phone's infrared sensor is embedded within the device. This
means that the angle of effectiveness is smaller compared to most remote controls at
around 0–45°. When attempting to control a device via remote, point the infrared
transmitter on the top of the phone directly at the target appliance.
l
To avoid excess power consumption, the power output of your phone's infrared transmitter
is lower than in most remote controls, with an effective range of no greater than 7 meters.
Add a remote control: Open
Smart Remote, touch Add remote control, and select the
remote control type (television, air-conditioner, set-top box, camera, streaming box, DVD player,
projector) and brand. Aim your phone at the device, and follow the onscreen instructions to add.
Customize a remote control: Open
Smart Remote, touch Customize, select the controller
template, and touch the gray button to learn controller functions. During learning, keep the
phone and remote control still and at a distance of around 5 cm from each other. Keep the

Connect Your Phone to an External Display for PC-Like Functionality
When you connect your phone to an external display, it behaves like a computer, so you no
longer need to lug your laptop back and forth between the office and home. Simply use an
adapter (such as a USB Type-C to HDMI adapter cable) to connect your phone to a display
device, such as a PC monitor or projector. You can then combine all the benefits of a desktop
computer, with the convenience of a mobile phone.
Use the following features when your phone is connected to an external display:
l
Privacy protection: Notifications, incoming calls, and chat messages are displayed as red
dots in the phone's notification panel, but are not visible on the external display.
l
Dual displays: Display work-related content on the external display while you chat with friends
on your phone.

Connecting your Phone to an External Display
Use a dongle-type adapter to connect your phone to an external display, or a dock-type adapter
to connect your phone to a display, keyboard, and mouse simultaneously.
l
Dongle-type adapters: USB Type-C to HDMI and USB Type-C to VGA adapters are
supported. If the external display has an HDMI port, use a USB Type-C to HDMI adapter to
connect your phone to the external display.
l
Dock-type adapters: USB Type-C to HDMI/VGA/USB adapters are supported. If the external
display has an HDMI port, but you also want to connect a mouse and keyboard to your phone,
use a USB Type-C to HDMI/VGA/USB adapter.

Location Information Protection
Location Services: Determine the Location of Your Phone
Location Services collects and provides location information for location-based apps (such as
weather, maps, travel, and shopping apps) on your Phone. The approximate location of your
Phone is determined by GPS positioning (if GPS is enabled and the service is available), mobile
network data, and Wi-Fi positioning (if enabled). If GPS positioning is disabled, apps can still
collect location information in other ways.
Enable or Disable Location Services
After obtaining the location information permission, apps can obtain your location at any time. If
your location information is obtained by a malicious app, you may be at risk of harm or fraud.
You can enable or disable location services as needed and regularly monitor and manage the
allowed permissions for your apps to protect your privacy and security.
Enable or disable location services: Open
Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location
access, and enable or disable Access my location. When location services are enabled, you
can also set the appropriate positioning mode. When location services are disabled, aside for
pre-installed software (such as the Weather widget, SmartCare, and Find my phone), your
119
Security and Privacy
phone will stop all apps and services from collecting and using your location information. The
system will ask you to enable location services when you attempt to use these apps.
l
Use Wi-Fi and mobile networks: Calculates your phone's location using carrier base station
location information or nearby Wi-Fi router location information. The accuracy of the location
information depends largely upon location information gathered from the base station or Wi-Fi
network. Accuracy normally ranges from 100 meters to several kilometers. Network positioning
has low accuracy, but allows for positioning while indoors and uses less battery power.
l
Use GPS only: Only uses satellites found by your phone's GPS to determine your position. No
network connection is needed. GPS satellite positioning is more accurate but also uses more
battery. It is accurate within tens of meters. However, indoor positioning may be inaccurate.
l
Use GPS, Wi-Fi, and mobile networks: Combines the benefits of GPS positioning and
networking positioning for accurate indoor and outdoor positioning.
l
Features may vary depending on your carrier.
l
Huawei only uses location data to provide you with necessary functions and services, not
for the purpose of identifying and collecting your private information.
Set indoor positioning assistance: Open
access >
Settings, go to Security & privacy > Location
> Scan settings, and enable or disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth scanning. Scanning
Wi-Fi networks and Bluetooth devices will improve the accuracy of indoor positioning.
PrivateSpace: Keep Your Private Information Hidden
Want to keep your personal apps and data (such as photos and videos) hidden on your Phone,
secure from other users? Look no further than PrivateSpace. With PrivateSpace, you can create
an independent space on your phone to keep your private information. For example, you can
install a separate WeChat in both your MainSpace and PrivateSpace, keeping the two apps

Enhanced Data Protection: Defend Your Privacy
Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your
phone is lost or stolen? Huawei phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined
protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is
stored in a microSD card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei phones use a hardware key that cannot be used
to decrypt data when separated from the phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted
components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection
capability of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your
private data. When you use PrivateSpace, Multi-user, encrypted microSD files, or other features
to encrypt photos, personal information, or other personal data, the only way your data can
possibly be decrypted is if the trusted root key, lock screen password, and security chip are
simultaneously cracked.Not all devices support microSD cards.
Set a SIM Card Lock
Phone numbers are often associated with bank and social media accounts for use when
recovering forgotten passwords. If someone else obtains your SIM card, your private information
122
Security and Privacy
and even the money in your bank account could be at risk. SIM lock requires a PIN to be
entered each time your device is powered on or connected to another device. This prevents
others from using your SIM card and gaining access to your finances or private information.
Before performing the above operations, please obtain your SIM card PIN from your carrier.
Use a PIN to lock your SIM card: Open
Settings. Go to Security & privacy > More and
touch set SIM1/SIM2 LOCK to enter the SIM lock settings screen. Enable SIM Lock, enter your
PIN, and touch OK.
Change your SIM card's PIN: Set a new PIN to make sure your PIN stays secure. After
unlocking your SIM card, touch Change SIM PIN and follow the instructions to set a new PIN.
l
If you enter an incorrect PIN more than the allowed number of times, you will have to
enter a PUK code to unlock your SIM. If you forget your PUK code, please immediately
request the correct PUK code from your carrier. If this code is entered incorrectly too
many times, it may void the SIM card.
l
There is a limit to the number of times a PIN or PUK code can be entered. Please contact
your carrier if you need assistance.
