Yes. It is the first foldable to earn an IP68 rating, thanks to a redesigned gearless hinge that resists dust and water.

No. It launched in China in July 2025 and went global (UK, Europe, Middle East, parts of Asia) in August 2025 at £1,699.99/€1,999, but Honor has no US retail presence, so American buyers must import a unit without local warranty.
